What is the word on where the Derby will be next year? Most of you have heard they are tearing down or re modeling or doing something to the West. Has anyone heard of whats gonna happen next year?
 
This should have some info. http://forums.azbilliards.com/showthread.php?t=89745;)

I have heard that it will be held at the Kentucky Fair and Expo Center right across the street from the hotels, but I'm not sure if it is a definite yet. I love where it has been in the past years and couldn't imagine it anywhere else, but I guess we will have to wait and see.

Just slicing in my comments from another thread that seems to have disappeared... But there were some small concerns about a change of location or other things not remaining the same next year so I posted...

Hey I'm not slammin anyone here (I wanna make that clear right up front, OK)

But, I for one would like wouldn't mind seeing some positive support for the Diamond guys and the DCC. How about staring a general wave of appreciation and (if you like the DCC, this year, last year and years before) just commiting and saying "Hell Yeah, I'm gonna go" - despite what rumours might circulate. Sure, the Diamond guys have a lot of logistics to sort out and still have to make it a viable financial venture; but we can all help make this a success by more word of mouth.

The more negative slants you hear and see posted about events; the more it will effect some players who are thinking of going. Hey, I'm not above sin here - I had a bit of a moan about the Windy City this/last year because of the lack of details in advance of the tourney - BUT I'm still gonna try and make my way there next year and mosie on down to the DCC after.

True the organisers need the players, but the players need good solid, salt of the earth folks like those that plan, run and finance the DCC; in order to make GREAT tourneys for us to play in.

My point of this post is - can we get behind and support these guys. Running these things is SO often a thankless task, and whatever decisions they make will be for our benefit - to make the DCC better. Lets not lose sight of that.

I'm showing my support and am coming next year, whatever happens. Things might not be perfect there but I will see as I find. I'm flying a few thousand miles for it (not a bragg) - some people are coming much farther than that.

If you enjoy the DCC and all that is stands for, let these guys know that.
