roads closed
- Thread starter kaznj
- Start date
I called the hotel and they said if you come from 287 you should be ok. BUT... I have no idea if that's accurate or not. At some point today I'm hoping to give it a go.
Hope you make it and play well.
Win one for the Ginkster
Would like to but at this point I don't know if I'll even be playing. Called the hotel and they said it's bad near there... Recommended calling the police dept to check on the roads.
Police laughed and said I'm not going to any pool tournament. The river hasn't even crested yet. There's apparently also a ban on driving in middlesex county right now.
Awful.
- Steve
If you are playing, good luck, Steve – hope you do well. Tell Barouty and Jon Smith we are pulling for them too.
You're not the only one Steve. I had to withdraw from the tournament due to all the airport closures, flight cancellations, and inability to find an open flight prior to tomorrow morning (coming from Phoenix).
Completely sucks.
If you do make it, best of luck to you.

14.1 and the bad weather
Ray (Big Cat) and all the others:
This is really a bad break with all of the terrible weather.
I know this event meant a lot to you and to the other players and supporters.
Even though I have problems with some of the promo tactics of the promoter, I still support all pool events and think this is a real bad break for Dragon and the 14.1 event.
Hopefully the event will not get seriously damaged by this turn of events.

We decided to give it a go tonight, and it was incredibly easy. So much misinformation out there from the official news sources.
Looks like the format will be the same, but once you're out of your bracket, it's single elimination race to 200. Eek.
Glad many of the NYC players made it safely
Thanks Mark... appreciate the sentiments.
I hope all the players make it to the tournament safely.

Dennis,
Just a note...
PATH service is not the line that services the Hyatt/New Bruns.
As of late Mon morn, the NJ Transit Northeast Corridor line and Amtrak are down. Those are the lines that stop at the NB station(2 blocks away from the hotel).
For now, the only way is to drive in:
