Effective December 1, 2006

FREE = FREE

FREE ENTRY FEES FOR WOMEN and JUNIOR PLAYERS
The Viking Cue 9-Ball Tour, the largest of the regional tours in our country, with over $90,000 in added prize money each year, is pleased to announce that, starting immediately, we have made the following changes to the acceptance of women and junior players in our open events. To encourage participation in our sport by non-professional women and junior players (Jr = age 17 & under), the Viking Cue 9-Ball Tour will now be offering them FREE entry to all of our local $1,000- or $2,000-added events.

As of December 1, 2006, women and junior players will no longer be required to purchase a tour card. Tour cards will be optional for those players but will still be required if they wish to compete in our larger events or if they wish to compete in our amateur events.

This means that there will be absolutely no fees for women or junior players while competing in the local $1,000- or $2,000-added Viking Cue Open 9-Ball Tour events.

I'm currently working on the schedule and hope to add several FL stops to it.

Question...

What will your definition of "Non-Pro" women be?

No Top-32 Professionals?
No Touring Professionals? (I think there are 40+ Touring Pros now.)

How about Semi-Professionals? (Is half a Professional not a Professional?)

Just curious... I would like to attend one of your events to lurk and note your wardrobe choices.
