Has anybody heard anything new about this Windy City open? I am disappointed that the Sleepless In Sandusky event shortened its field and we weren't able to get in...so I though the Chicago thing would be fun.

Unfortunately, I have been unable to find much information beyond the original dates. No phone numbers, e-mail addresses, or websites. Let me say that I did try the one URL I found (www.windycityopen.net), but there is no website there...just a place holder.

What is going on with this event?
 
I dont have any info on the windy city open , that tourney is usually in January. If your looking for a great tournament before then check out the Nothern Lights Shootout in Rugby, North Dakota. This is a $60.00 entry $3000.00 to win tourney. It runs Dec9th-11th 2005 our 7th year. Any ?s give me a call at 701-776-5096. Thanks, Mark
 
Your Suggestion

Hmm. I was looking for something with a team element, but this might be an idea. What format is the tourney? 9-ball, 9' tables, etc?
