Is it a handicapped tourney or just open?

I believe it's open, Lenny. Otherwise they'd probably have even more players. Tom can confirm when he reads the post.

It is an open tournament Doc and draws from the Bay Area - San Francisco to San Jose, and as far as Reno, NV., the other direction.

It is a race to two, double elimination, and I got knocked out around 7 pm. I left but suspect it lasted at least til 1 pm with 38 players. Looked like Rafael Martinez and Billy Palmer were still in the winners bracket along with Chris MacDonald and a couple more when I left. Almost everyone in the tournament is dangerous in a race to two

That's a strong leader board, Tom! I see though that the guys are basically playing for the competition and bragging rights. If the entry fees were raised, do you think that fewer guys would play?

Sorry, when I went to reply to your post I hit edit accidentally.

The entry fee has been $20 for as long as anyone remembers.
The Added changed a few years ago. Last year the one pocket summer events were $500 added and the 9 ball events were $700.

I don't think a $5 raise in entry fees would cause much stir, but remember, pool players love consistency. Changes are scary.

I didn't play in the 9 ball Sunday but heard they had 90+ players. I'll bet Tom was there til the wee hours of the morning on this one.

The most HTB has ever had is 64 players for the monthly.
This has happened 3 times in the last 5½ years (since I've been working here)

Yesterday's count was only 50 and it was over at 1am.

Rafael Martinez 1st, Richard Pierce 2nd, George Michaels 3rd

I think he turns 60 or 61 this year. I know he is younger than me and just a kid compared to John Henderson...

I see Michaels can still dab it! He's no kid anymore either!
