Questions I would like to ask......Galveston Big Money Event.

["T"]

The way it looks like it's going to be is that if you have a question, either email it or give them a call. Period.

If they want to work harder and spend more money advertising than they need to, it's their problem, not anyone's here.

I have to say their making it really tough for folks like me (out of town amateur) to get excited enough to take the time off work to be there. I'm planning on going largely because it's always fun seeing other AZ'ers, but really, two pool playing vacations a year is not sustainable for me and perhaps it would be better to spend my precious vacation time somewhere else and wait for the next DCC. I'll wait and see.

One thing is for sure, there will be no AZ room at this tournament! lol
