Too me I wouldn't mind buying a reserved seat or session or something like it. I don't need it to be free and dealing with a hoard roaming around. Depends on what you are looking for. I'm strongly thinking of flying out there for a week to spectate. I wouldn't be playing out there and drifting around constantly in-between matches and just peaking in. Is it just going to be uncomfortable bleachers? What is the set up? I'm not going to stand and watch. That said, I would probably be spending most of my time watching the World 10 Ball although their scheduling is so ridiculous that there will be plenty of time to watch 3C, so maybe I would be bouncing around LOL. Haven't seen any pro 3C in person since the days of the Carom Tour at Chris's Billiards. The info on these events is just poor. Now you got the WPBA event too. They aren't even two months out and there is next to no info. SOP for Pro pool. I guess they are just set up as a side show for the amateur CSI BCA stuff going on. I think during the last 10 Ball event in AZ a month back they announced that the World 10 Ball was Finally going to be expanded from 64 players so maybe there will be a lot more matches than that one a day crap they've had the last few years. The World 10 Ball should be the preeminent event in pool and ought to be featured as such. It sure isn't that Matchroom 9 ball crap, or I mean Matchroom "Pool" crap.

I think it is incredible to see Predator step up and sponsor all of these events.

Here is a picture of the bleachers. I think they're cushy and comfortable.

If you enjoy watching pool, I think you'll feel you missed out if you didn't attend.

I agree with the predator kudos.

It has been hugely supporting pro pool for a long while.
At tonight's players meeting for the Wisconsin Open, the President of Predator made some announcements. He inform everyone that total prize money will be close to half a million dollars in March. The 4 Pro events in Las Vegas will make it the biggest gathering of pros, and the world's biggest billiard event under one roof.

Las Vegas Open, 128
World Cup 3 Cushion, 150
WPBA Open, 64
Predator World 10-ball, 128 players

Info on Puerto Rico stop in November
US Pro Series is the first Pro tour breaking a million dollars in prize money

I think it is incredible to see Predator step up and sponsor all of these events.

KOZOOM tv has been providing lots of Predator events on its 24/7 YouTube channel and they all appear to be top-notch.

Would you have any info on that Puerto Rico event? Is it going to be in San Juan?

Hopefully there is a lot more than that dinky setup.

Their player sign up for the Vegas Open seems to make it look like it is capped at 64 players....

91 players signed up so far.

Make sure to Select "Las Vegas Open" from the drop-down list, and not looking at a different stop.
Ah, thanks. That is odd that the event specific page doesn't have it set to the sign up for the actual event in the drop down.

Any particular reason?
CSI likes to control everything. Was too bad to see Predator come on board and sponsor all of these Predator tours and events just to see all they did was piggy back on CSI rather than doing their own thing. Ozzy and his BS. Was hoping for something better than CSI and Matchroom.

I did send that new world cup streamer an email asking if they would be streaming and surprisingly they just responded that:

"Yes, we have a plan for Las Vegas World Cup. Please subscribe our YouTube channel.

The USBA has chosen three more players for the tournament. Congratulations to Mazin Shooni, Frank Torres and Raymon Groot! The final 10 American players will come from qualifying tournaments.

For those who are going to attend and don't have a room yet, use the following by the 4th (tomorrow):

If you reserve a room at the Rio, the rate through Friday night is only $90 plus tax. If you go through the CSI site/link for your reservation, you can decline the "resort fee" which is around $30 per night. Here's the CSI link -- scroll to the bottom for the reservation link:
