There are some pretty cool things already happening with the upcoming Open. Barry is already getting lots of billiards rooms from Vegas to West Virginia to even Aruba sending in applications to hold US Open qualifiers. Diamond is going to be bringing in 7 foot tables to put in the other 2 ballrooms at the Marriott for a BCAPL event. There's going to be more info coming soon.:smile:

This is shaping up to be a great event & when I know more I will pass it on!

Sounds good so far. Thank you for the update. JT
 
They used to do this in the early 90s pretty widely... I recall one being held at Sisco's in Crossville TN which was a small room compared to many.. I think maybe 16 tables or so... I scratched on the break after clawing back to make it hill-hill in the finals and watched my shot at getting a free ride to the Open go down the drain.... Think that had to be 93? Was the last year I had enough time to actually travel to and play in events....

Would have been nice not scratching maybe Earl would have one less US Open under his belt LOL.....

They have held qualifiers for the last couple years...funded by entry fees.

No implication there is anything wrong widdat.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves here. We are in preliminary discussions in regards to a BCAPL event at the US Open.

Sorry, was just going with what I was told. I apologize for reporting incorrect information, I don't like doing that.

Barry got very excited about the possibility of the BCAPL amateur event being held during the Open & got ahead of himself about putting the news out there. It's currently in the preliminary stages of planning & he would much rather it be with the BCAPL than anyone else. I'm hoping the talks go well so the event is held! Will keep y'all updated as I know more.
