I am pleased to announce an exciting new format for my Joss Northeast 9-Ball Tour.
The new format will commence immediately at our next regular season $2,000 Added event at Raxx Pool Room & Grill (W. Hempstead NY). The new format will be as follows.
- Each $2,000 Added event will consist of a $1,500 Added (Sat & Sun) main event, and a $500 Added Sunday event.
- There will now be a 2 tier entry fee system for the $1,500 Added main event. Pro level players will pay $120 ($100 + $20 greens fee), and all others will pay $70 ($50 + $20 greens fee).
- The $500 Added Sunday event will be for the eliminated non pro level players only, with a $20 entry fee (no greens fee). This event will be a short, double elimination, race to 3 or 4 depending on field size and available tables. This event will be run simultaneously with the conclusion of the main event.
- The determination of pro level or non pro level players will be made solely by the tournament director whose decision will be final.
I have been working on this idea for some time now. Polling players, doing the math, talking to room owners, and I believe this idea will allow players more competition time and give more players a chance to cash! Everyone that I have spoken to is as excited as I am about the change. So much so that I decided to begin immediately instead of waiting for next season.
There are 5 regular season events before our $25,000 Added Turning Stone Classic XV 9-Ball Open Season Finale.
