CHEESESTEAK1 I don’t need no stinking cheese cake. Unless there are cherries on top. My eye surgery is July 30, I probably will be ready to play, July 30th in the evening or sooner.
Wow I love the interest!! I will gather info as soon as I can and report back to the members. I’ll try to at least present all of the details to make it an option.
Island drive yes Philly is an international airport FYI.
I guess we should start thinking about the tournament in 2019. My listings are: Griff's (Las Vegas), Freezer's (Phoenix), Anywhere (Philadelphia), Anywhere (Florida), Anywhere (Boston), Anywhere (New York). I really don't know the rooms on the East coast or in Florida, but I think they would be great places to play at.
I think starting to discuss a location now is a good thing. How many rooms even have 16 tables? Personally I wouldn’t mind Philly or other East Coast location. If some members could let us know about any rooms that might be able to accommodate us that would be great.
The first room to come to mind here is Snookers in Providence, RI 401-351-7775, 15 9 foot Gold Crown tables in excellent condition, home to the New England Billiards Hall Of Fame, Great food, For more information and to schedule a tournament contact Ray McNamara (Several years of experience running pool tournaments including one pocket). Owners Name Goulding.
Providence has 1 Major airport and several hotels nearby, details regarding room prices can be negotiated, not sure about shuttle service. For more information Type Snookers in your browser.

I would definitely like you to approach Michaels!! We want a number of rooms on the final ballot -- and in order to be on the ballot the owner needs to be on board, and we need to have the basic questions answered about tables, airport, hotels, green fees, food, etc.I said I would make the 2019 tourney so I am going to my best to make it wherever it may be!
I am happy trying to ask Michael if he is interested in holding it in Cincinnati to see if we can get another hat in the ring but it sounds like Philly has a lot of interest already!
Also, nothing is certain yet, but it looks like we may be moving out west within the next year. If so, my vote will be probably be for Freezers or Griff's!
(On a side note, they were both in the last drawing for rooms so I would think we may want to get with them to see if they are interested in getting in on the rooms for 2019 as potential hosts.)

Snookers was the new "room of the year" in one of the major pool mags when they first re-opened about 10 years ago.
