Any idea why the ladies don't come out for this? Lack of money?
Yeah, I saw the prizes for the 9- and 10-ball. Major gap from the men's.
More money, more of the ladies might go.
Yes
Someone told my fiancé they pay 500 to 1000
For first .
its $100 entry per event, I got 4th place in 1 event and 1st in one of the second chances. I broke even on entries but doesn't make up for travel and lodging expenses.
2014, that's why I am going to Olathe instead this year.
More ladies go, more money to win. Two way street.
What comes first in the creation of a tournament, the promotion, including prize lists, or the players signing up? Guaranteed prizes, put up by those who profit from pool, attracts players to tournaments.
Very doubtful they would ever get good women's attendance. There are just not enough women who play the game that seriously. I've tried adding more money to women's fields with very limited success. Better to put the money into men's events and enlarge those fields. It makes more sense to me to offer bonus awards for the highest finishing women and just let them play in the open events.
They're doing good to get over 32 women in any tournament! No surprise they're getting 40 or so here.
