Anybody here planning on playing or attending? Wondering when registrations will be accepted.
Windy City Open anyone????

- Start date
We have a few posters here that live around that area. I am thinking of going sooner or later but, just to test out the water so to speak. My custom job has not arrived yet and I would feel kind of bad shooting with a Sneaky Pete as most players use them for break cues. If you go... have a great time!

I will probably shoot in womens 9 & 8 ball. I'm trying to figure out why I get so nervous playing women that can shoot well when I play against guys every weekend who can run out racks and I'm not the slightest bit intimidated or nervous. Well, let me take that back. I played 9-ball against Jeff Sergent once and was nervous.
Hmm... I usually don't get nervous but, I do know what you mean. I try to play the table layout and kind of forget about my opponent. Now if I were to play Kid Delicious on TV, I would be a basket case! I think the best approach would be to play your best and try not to worry... this is sometimes hard to do! I know you will make a lot of Forum friends there and I think some of our Pros will show up also.

For those who don't want to play with the "bid dogs" there will also be an event for BCA sanctioned league players with a $35 entry fee. Info should be posted on www.pooltournaments.net soon.
