This is Brian Gregg and to the best of my knowledge I was doulble dipped by Chris Melling which won a total of 7,000.00 and my prize fund was 5,400.00. It was a very good tournament, but a little unorganized, Congrats to all the winners.The whole event (if you are talking about the amateur event) played on 7' tables will be posted at www.ctsondemand.com.
It will be listed as one of the singles events.
This was a'warm-up' event and had close to 250 players. Chris Melling won and double dipped Brian Gregg.
This is one of the 2 events that players can sign up on site. The field closes at 256 and we almost made it.
Chris won $3,400 for a $100 entry. There was $2,500 added.

On tuesday the 11th the nineball tournament started with no funds posted, On wednesday the 12th the nineball ended with all funds posted and with that being the truth I was payed exactly what the Tournament board stated a total of 5,400.00. Us players were approached to attend a meeting on Sunday the 16th at midnight when we were adressed that their had been a mistake on the payout, 4 days later. Most of the players was not happy that this situation happened. On Tuesday the 18th a new board was posted with different payouts. I was put in the tournament and we had cut the money up and he went home not to mention that the black jack table got some of it. I had never been to the BCA tournament before, infact I didn't go to Valley this year and it was a great tournament except for this situation.The correct payouts are listed on the brackets - which are at ctsondemand.com.
Melling got $3,400 and Brian Gregg should have gotten $2,500.
Brian was notified that there was a clerical error and that he was mistakenly given a voucher for $5,400. The mistake was caught and some of the players returned the overpaid amount.
Several of the players had not turned their voucher into a check. Keep in mind that BCAPL always tries to make arrangmenet to cash the checks on the premises.
Brian had already cashed his check and evidently did not believe he needed to try and correct the error (or part of the error).
This was a $110 entry fee (with a $15 registration fee) and $2,500 added. A total payout of $26,000. A helper on the desk got about half of the payout amounts correct and then jumped to the wrong column - making his total payout $40,000. Obviously that was an error and the payouts were correctly listed on the master payout sheet that was sitting on the registraton counter.
