Today was going to be the first tournament since the room reopened. It did not happen. There were about 6 of us there so not enough.
Was it because of the holiday week end?
Maybe not enough people knew about it?
Or could summer be a bad time to start this?
It was a nice day here today.

Can anyone report back on what happened with today's tournament? Did they have a better turnout than last week?

I heard the Thurs night tournament did not happen so I decided not to waste my time and gas this Sunday to go down there.
Summer just isn't the time to try to start a new venue in pool.
 
Match-Ups in Fort Collins has a good 9-ball crowd every Sunday starting at 3 pm. Best local tournament consistently in the northern front range in my opinion. $10 entry on the big tables. Just depends if you are willing to drive.
 
What part of Denver is it in? I will be out there the first week of August and would love to find a place to play.

Thats in Ft. Collins, I 25 north exit 269 B, then 5 miles west into campus, a good hour + north.

IMO, it's silly for Denver folks to have to drive 50 miles to Ft. Collins when we could be having tournaments right here in Denver.

Rack 'em, in Aurora, has $5 rates all day on Sunday. Surely, we can get something organized with Rack 'em on Sundays? Next time I stop by Rack 'em I'll inquire about it.

Good idea. I have thought about making the trip to Ft. Collins but If I was lucky enough to make the finals plus the hour drive home I was thinking I would not get home until midnight maybe. Thats too late for me.
Does anyone know what time it ends?

The Match Up's tournament usually ends around 10-10:30 (sometimes earlier if a smaller field of 14-16). If it has many people and there is slow play, it could go as long as 11-12. But I invite you to bring your Lucasi up here and play one time to see for yourself :). You can afford to go home late one time to test the waters.

Sure, you want no part of the Pechauer! :grin:
But as the Lucasi is somewhat of a legend maybe I will bring it.
I play same with either one.
You know I'm an old guy and need my rest.:(

Totally agree with that. At least I live in Longmont and the drive isn't as bad. If Denver could have some decent weekly tournaments on big tables, then I could make the trek either way.

The Bit of Billiards in Longmont has bi-weekly (?) tournaments on Saturday (?) but they need some more work to draw in people from out of town.

Rack'em on a sunday is APA hell. Not to mention they got greedy and won't rent 7 footers anymore. They made it pretty clear that non-drinkers aren't welcome there.

Now that's the way to build a business.Pool (big tables) is on life support in this metro area of 2 million.
 
In response to Derek. Does "Bit-O" have a tourney on the "manly man" tables? Been thinking about heading up there, but I hate to drive that far for the bar boxes.
