Matchroom/U.S. Open is leaving Atlantic City

How about just putting it back in Chesapeake Virginia where it started, and where it always was before they bought the rights and moved it to Vegas, then A/C?

Chesapeake has a great convention center, good hotels conveniently close, plenty of restaurants in the area, as well as Q-Masters nearby for all the action that was always prevalent the week of the Open.

Or, like Corey does each yr/rental car tho.

We could fly em all in to DIA, bus em up to Saratoga WY and use their convention center/perfect/new/owned by the city.
Rooms for two are $100.
The Platte river runs Thru town great fishing I'd think town has less than 2,000 residents, the best table mechanic is in Ft. Collins Colorado, and one of the best cloth makers, Andy Cloth is a Huge supporter of pool is from there, they also invented Saratoga 8 ball.
Interesting group of pool player mindsets up NorT. In WY.
Very creative....

Precisely. The Peri Open, with a first prize of $40,000 this year, is the lead in to the Hanoi Open in the first half of October. If the Manila Open is a success and becomes a mainstay, the Manila and Reyes will take up late October-early November.

My guess is MR will always want the Florida Open to front run the U.S. Open. I doubt they would move the U.S. Open beyond early September. I expect them to stick to August.

The WPC takes up July, and the Scottish, UK and European opens seem to be settling in around March-April-May.

MR doesn’t really do anything the first few months of the year. Hard to see that changing.

They also have to leave space on the calendar for WPA/Predator and other events to prevent future conflict. The more MR settles on established dates, the more Predator/WPA can do the same. Good for all, ideally.

This is definitely a well-reasoned post.
