Does anyone know the cost of tickets at Steinway? Mitch
I don't think they have their finger on the pulse at all. When you see tournaments with decent added money piggy-backing with an event like U.S. Open, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that the field will be top notch.
All it really takes is to keep your eye on the calendar and make a phone call or two to inquire.
How do people that play there feel about the change? Does the snooker table get a lot of play? I really liked watching matches on the 10 footer.
I know you didn't ask, but the snooker table didn't replace the 10-footer. The 10-footer could easily be put back where it was before, but that is the best spot for spectators, and unfortunately, in a tournament it would have to be covered up, and that spot would be wasted. I think it was a smart move to put a 9-ft table in that high profile spot.
next year will be around 20 events in states for mosconi cup .. more big table events and less bar table the better
well i obviously know the players better than you..
its the strongest field ever for pool room no ranking points event Pro/Am
these events carry less pressure so that gives the mid table players a better chance to win... plus a lot of guys will be burnt out after us open.
yes you got the favs, but a lot of players can win the event...
D
Around 30 players can win it and another 20 capable of going deep..
usually these type of events u can pick 5-10 players out to win it... rest just looking for decent finish..
good job manny and staff

It is a sick list. And i'm going to play and if history repeats itself like it usually does for me, I will draw the top players on this list. Lovely.
I believe it is going to be either $15 or $20 for the entire day. I asked Manny and he is not sure just yet, but it will be a fair price. Hope to see as many of you as possible there. Come say hello if you do come.
Yeah and the list still has to be updated. I just want to go on record and mention that I did not spell all these names the way they currently are. LOL. I will correct them i'm just being lazy.
Turning Stone is truly a classic because of the years it has been going on , over 20 , this is Steinway's 4th year , and Phil Burford won the first , above average pool player but not top tier. Steinway is the beneficiary of the US OPEN being that it is on the east coast and easy travel from Virginia , a place to kill another bird while in the area. It isn't like players are flying in just for Steinway like they are the US Open.
If the US Open wasn't a tier 2 WPA event i doubt many international players would show up for it.
The joke is that the criteria for what constitutes a Mosconi Cup event isn't clear but can hinge on whether they need an event whatever its name to be available. I believe there was criticism of Skylar Woodward being intimidated into forgoing the playing of a money match to play in a Mosconi Cup points event on 7 foot tables.
There are a couple other 9 foot events that could be used as Mosconi Cup events but aren't.
