Does anyone know what pros will be at the Swanee? I heard Efren was supposed to be there but then heard he already left LA?

Unless by some miracle Sweet Tooth's is open it will be at Bullshooters. I have heard that the Swanee is an awesome event. I know some of our players here in AZ are making the drive out to play in it. Always a strong field out there.

I think they are allowed there.

I have no info. on Efren. Last I heard he was sitting on a plane with Joey A.

Efren won't be there. Archer MIGHT be there. I heard rumors about Schmidt showing up. I would bet on the Ca. pros being there...Morro, Tang, Ernesto and Oscar, Max Eberle, Dave Hemmah, etc.

I'll be there to provide a virtual BYE for two deserving players.

Archer will be in Chatanooga and won't be able to make it. He said he wanted to but Chatanooga was closer and he could take his son.

There may be a different age policy for this special event. Here's there number if you want to call: 323-465-0115.

Kids are allowed. I've brought my boys there a couple of times.

Thanks atthecat.

I stand corrected. Maybe the 21 & over is for the "night life" only. :confused:

On most years, the top California players attend the Swanee. One year we had 35 players from Arizona.

As far as pros, unfortunately I do not know what the term means. I have heard rumors that TOP players may be there. I know Archer (last years winner) will not be present.

I have heard Efren, Schmidt, might be. Possible other Philipinos. But it is always a great event and is becoming a 'social happening' as much as a pool tournament. This is the only time some people see each other.

On the underage situation. This facility serves alcohol. I do not know their policy on children. I do believe if underage is allowed, they will be asked to leave by early evening - if they are a spectator. If they are are player, we could probably schedule the matches so they will know where they are before they might be asked to leave.

DO NOT rely on a post here about children being able to attend. Situations change and this is a liquor license. Noone can expect them to jeopardize that asset by allowing a couple of underage people in the door.

I hope everyone understands. This will be a GREAT event. We have presigned close to 70 people which is 10% or so above last year. It CLOSES at 192 and might fill up - so go to Hollywoood Billiards and sign up if interested.

I heard that Efren, Rodney Morris, Archer and Schmidt will NOT be attending.

Any updates ??

I was there with my kids a couple of time, but it was 11am. Might be different for the tournament.
 
Are minors allowed?

I just called Hollywood Billiards. The guy said he would find out what the official policy is going to be and anyone who wants to know about minors being allowed should call tomorrow and ask for a manager. They are now aware that a number of people need a definitive answer on this question.

Here's the number: 323-465-0115

Hope this helps.

I saw Lorri DeLeon (sp?) at Hard Times the other day. He said Efren will NOT be at Swanee. He was scheduled to be on a plane yesterday.
