Dennis, Do you know if this Tournament is Sanction by USBA [Not that it Matter], as I only found info at http://professorqball.com/?p=4529 "ProfessorQBall" magazine.

Not at USBA www.usba.net

Shame on USBA for not posting this on USBA website. I hope USBA El Jefe, The Secretary/Treasurer, or USBA BOD correct this problem!

Good Luck to IBC and This Tournament.
Thank, Paul Frankel and ProfessorQball Magazine for posting this info on your website.

Can we watch the tournament by live streaming?So that we can check our American friends? Just wondering...These kind of moves could help the carom games to become more popular in the US and around the world
 
I've always wanted to check out that place, might have to take a road trip this summer!
 
No live streaming of the event.

I doubt that it is a sanctioned event.

I heard that George Ashby has signed up.

This is the first I have seen of your kind offer. I am not sure that Jim has the capability but I know he has internet somewhere in the building. Call IBC, ask for Jim Parker and tell him I sent you.
