Nothing like a drive up to northern Michigan in the middle of winter. Might have to check it out, thanks.

"Preliminary rounds begin Thursday, February 6th, through Saturday, February 8th with 48 top players competing in two sessions each day in double elimination play. The tournament will conclude on Sunday, February 9th beginning at 1 p.m. when the final four remaining players will compete for the title of 2014 WPBA Masters Champion LIVE on ESPN3!"

Would love to see you. And to toot our horn a bit. We are running a large singles 9 ball & 8 ball tournament side by side with the WPBA. For more info on the tournament visit http://soaringeagleopen.com.

lol! Even in the best 'casino days' long gone, they were always held in.. at best 3rd rate, 4th market casinos. There might have been an exception but i dont recall any.

tough times

This business of only a couple of tournaments a year is terrible. I know they are trying really hard, but maybe the answer lies in going back into pool rooms and accepting less prize money. The important thing is to keep the players playing and keep interest in the game going.

Tournaments in casinos were strictly for the TV coverage but I think now it's time to reconnect with the fans, and what better place than pool rooms? The money may be terrible, but so what ----- do it for the love of the game and to keep playing.

Fran, Casinos want to be paid! Until we reverse the supply & demand we will have to pay the Casinos.
They just Added my friend Rich Sacco to help them reverse the trend they are in.
I think he will & is going to turn things to the better.
I think he is working on the website so it can make some money for the organization.
He wants to make sure that it is profitable for the Woman to make the trip to any tournament.
If he can generate money from the website & streaming things will start looking up.
Jay, If your sister has any interest in trying again let me know. I can make the connection for you to Mr. Rich Sacco I'm sure he has an open mind.

Thanks anyway. My sister is now an arbitrator/mediator on BIG dollar law suits. Her fees are somewhere in the stratosphere! She won't take any side jobs now, no reason too.
