I have just made a deal to produce a sixteen man Invitational tournament in the Los Angeles area on Feb. 5-8, 2015. The prize fund will be $50,000 with $20,000 going to the winner! I am announcing it now in the hope that other promoters will respect these dates and not schedule a conflicting event. It is the week following Derby City.

Thank you, I will be providing more information later.
 
Cool. nice to hear you're getting back in promoting again. I'm sure it will be a great event. Johnnyt
 
Damn Jay,

Just set the dates for the First Annual Cardiac Kid Invitational Memorial World Round Robin Handicap Championship with One Million dollars added guaranteed with a thousand entries :eek:. Sorry :grin:.

PS Very best of luck with your event. Wish I played at a high enough speed to be invited. Maybe next year.

Jay, will you have a Senior Citizen Novice Division?

If so, I await an invitation.

If not, good luck as it sounds like it will be a great event.

Will you need any Reeferees, I mean referees. I may be available for either posting.

I don't know for sure, but you Cleary might be the reason everyone seems to be going to invitation only. I'M JUST SAYING !

I can assure you, I'm not. They're going to invitationals because they want to control which pros can and cannot play. It's politics. And to be honest, it totally limits the prize funds but like I said, they get the players they want.

I understand what you're trying to say but it's a flawed theory and backwards thinking. Yes, I played last year in the US Open 10ball, and I suck, and it's a joke that I'm able to play in that event... but think of it this way, for every banger in the field, is another "bye" for the real players. For ever banger they have in the field, that's an extra $500 going into the professionals pockets. If there were 100 people my speed that played in that pro event (and they don't limit the field), that's $50,000 of DEAD MONEY going straight to a good players pockets. They should encourage as many players as they can get, of any skill.

I was wondering when the first invitational would occur. I hope this works out and I believe it will.

I hope all the fans support you this time.
 
I know one thing for sure. All the players will be paid on time. I really hope you get back into it with the 16 world class players. Johnnyt

Well, I've certainly heard of a lot of people complain that pro events allow anyone to play, so it hopefully some of those people start to understand that more money in equals more money out.

But it's all good. I'm playing in the SBE Pro 1 Pocket next weekend and I'll be happy if I win a rack. #COMEATMEBRO
