While some of the hotshots (Peach, Drago, Gray and Majid) will be battling it out in the Riviera Hotel next month it is interesting to see the entries for the amateur tournaments which take place in the same venue. I notice that there are two Appletons playing, Darren in the TAR Pit and Andrew in the Masters Division of the amateur event. Could we see a family double? The open 8 ball event has attracted 1270 players, imagine organising that one Riggers! Apart from that there are 1230 other players taking part. In my division of Super Seniors (over 65's) there are 137 entries. The Grand Masters Division at the moment has only attracted 15 players, this event usually has around $5000 added to the entry fees. My organisation the Confederacion Española de Pool is sending 26 players on all expenses paid trips and apart from that there are about 50 other Spanish players going. This is always a great tournament and with the added attraction of "our" Pro players, this year should be even better. [ This message was edited by: malaguista on 2008-04-17 07:12 ]

Yeh, it's quite funny they insisted Andy go in the masters after seeing his surname  He's only been playing american pool for a few months This is after the boys went over there a year or 2 ago and cleaned up in just about everything, so they clearly weren't taking any chances this time. Good luck Dog!

cheers riggers am looking forward to this event,am happy with my game ive had some excellent practice partners urself and daz plush my best pal shoka been a rock for my game,best thing i ever did was switch games from english 8 to american game,people and tournament directors are first class at last ive found a governing body who really do care about there players, all i can say for english 8 ball is take a leaf out of whats happening with the american game in the u.k its the way forward.

no stopping him at the minute, if he plays like he can over there he'll do some serious damage [ This message was edited by: MissCue on 2008-05-05 19:08 ]

well thats how much you actually do know,because if your practicing against someone who cant play then it doesnt put you under pressure when knockin the balls in,its no stupid male outlook its just common knowledge.but if you didnt know that then hey ho. stop biting aswell and surley there some washin up to do ----------------- beware dangerous player on his way [ This message was edited by: striker on 2008-05-04 21:15 ]

lol cheeky... ya never know u might be honoured enuf to play against me one day i obviously know that if the pressure isnt on from your opponent then u wont play your best game and may go for some silly shots that you wouldnt against a better player... hence why i enjoy playing against the better players myself... all i was saying in my original post striker was how the dog played the other night he can do some serious damage in vegas.. especially on those ridiculously small tables.. they look to have more pocket than cushion the only dishes i do are on the pool table dear
