Tournament Questions

[Celophanewrap]

I've been trying to watch as much of Turning Stone as I can and really enjoying what I've seen and I saw the ad, I think it says $25,000 added. So I began to wonder, is the U.S. Open the only tournament that has a problem paying the players? Why is that?
Also, what and when and where are the other major U.S. tournaments?

Other events than the US Open have failed to pay on occasion, but it's the US Open 9-ball that presents the biggest problems.

I've never heard of payment problems at Turning Stone or any other Joss Tour event. CSI, Diamond, Allen Hopkins Productions and many others are very dependable payers.

This biggest rotation games events on the American pool calendar other than the US Open 9-ball and Turning Stone are, arguably, the Derby City 9-ball (January), the Super Billiards Expo 10-ball (March), the CSI 10-ball (July), the Steinway 10-ball (August) and the Ocean States Championship (November).
