I steered your info to Daniel Busch as far as an LA qualifier, I think he is scrambling to make it happen on April 3rd. Hope I was of some help.
Do you ever come across any Schon Stl-15 style cues, looking for early LTD editions of this design. Please let me know if you come across any, even different color veneers.

I know Bob Jewett won his qualifier.

Tyler Styer won the qualifier at Red Shoes, so I would suppose he is in.

I think another qualifier was done too.

Yes, Kyle Pepin won the qualifier in Maine. So perhaps entry fees for Pepin and Styer haven't yet reached CSI.
 
Thank you and looking forward to seeing you there... excited to have this in my neighborhood.
Although, excluding the pool playing, a few days in Windsor Locks won't be quite as much fun as being in Queens. ;-]
 
Qualifier rescheduled!

Qualifier date has been postponed to 3/27

I would be surprised if they have not been paid for the Red Shoes event. I know Red Shoes sent them the initial $600 before having the tournament and I assume John sent the rest.

Mika was asking about the tournament today. Looks like there will be some good players in the event. :thumbup:

The list has been updated on the web site.

Hohmann and Pagulayan have been added.

Does this change anything or have you beaten them, too?

Well, I've also lost to Hohmann. But I only missed one ball. Alex has never beaten me.
