I have a couple of questions regarding the Derby. Im flying into Louisville, whats the best way to get to the casino? Next how do you sign up for the HOF Dinner? Finally I always hear about the AZ Room and that our members have many matches there. Do you have to sign up in advance to play there? Im really looking foward to meeting the regular members of our site in January. Im also looking foward to meet the "irregular" members. Any imput on these questions will be greatly appreciated. See you there. Sappo

There is a shuttle and phone number should be available but he is pretty busy and the best bet is to share a cab. Post your flight and when you are arriving on here or az and you can work out something.

There will be more info on the az room closer to the event. You send $25 and a name tag will be waiting for you in the room.

Sappo....when we meet up at the DCC, since your 30 years younger than me, with the eyes of an eagle, don't try and take advantage of the old Ghost by asking me for more than 9-8...:D :D

Arriving 4pm Monday the 24th.

Not my first Derby, but my first at the Horseshoe. I am looking forward to seeing some great 1Pkt matches and visiting old friends and associatiing a face to a name from this forum.

I'll only be 63 in January, so I do have some game left.

I think that's great, that a lot of our onepocket.org regulars are making it to the DCC for their first time - sappo, Dud, CaliRed, and who else?...it'll be good to meet all of you guys...now if we could just get Clare and Fanny to go...:)

PS, Don't forget to pack your One Pocket T-Shirts...:)

PPS, And if you guys are there for the legendary onepocket.org One Pocket matchup >>> The Ghost vs. San Jose Dick...please don't sentimentally root for him to win just cuz he's a famous oldtimer - root for the Ghost, because I need the $$$ much more than he does...:D

You will be $500 short or $500 richer after our match, or are you going to play SJD first.

Hey Keith.....I don't know, it's hard to say ahead of time, with some of us having tournament matches to figure in also....but I imagine we won't play Saturday, the first day we're all there - we'll all be saying hello and getting in a little practice....and I don't believe Papie is staying all week like the rest of us...so I would think somewhere's between Sunday-Tuesday/Wednesday we'll play our gambling match-ups.

They have updated some of the info on the www.dcctickets.com website. You have to be careful, because still much of the info is referencing the last years dates.

They do have a 2011 flyer which lists the dates of the games. It says the finals of onepocket are at 9:00 pm Thursday

Practice...You need practice !!! ??? Haven't you been practicing for 50 years or so ?...I'll be ready to play, as soon as my feet touch the ground in Ky...
I will however, need to "practice" my drinking for 10 or 20 minutes, there are a few kinks I still need to work out (after only 60 years of practice)...Practice,...sheeesh,...are you sure you're not from Detroit ?..:p :D :p

You had better play me first then. It would be embarrassing if you can't come up with the $$ for SJD.

Don't pay any attention to the results of the San Francisco tournament. You could give weight to all the guys I beat.:D

My back up plan in case I lose the first match, is to bite/borrow $100 each from my forum pals = each of the onepocket.org members who will be at the DCC...:eek:...:D
