LAST CALL FOR QATAR

The organizers of the Qatar International 9-Ball Tournament have informed us that there are still a few slots open that can be filled by North American players. Any professional player who wishes to take advantage of this opportunity to compete for this large prize fund may contact Fran Crimi at her email address:francrimi@aol.com. This window will only be open for a very few days, so if you have an interest please contact Ms. Crimi immediately. All details concerning this event may be found at: http://www.qatarolympics.org/topics/index.asp?g=99196519-0822-411E-9337-59E381C2E96C

that place is hot as hell. when i was there it felt like the sun was burning the skin off of my body. sunglasses are a must if anyone does take this trip. qatar to me lookslike a mix of the slums of tijuana and the upscale parts of san francisco but always hot.

It's $40k for first with 96 players in the main tournament. 8 spots are reserved in the main tournament for US players and the entry is free. Anyone may enter a qualifier for $50. Looking at the prize breakdown and airfares, you have to finish 9-16 to make a little money -- the nut (airfare from the US and lodging) is around $2300 and 16th pays $2500.
