Thank you for the continued support Steve...When I came up with this idea a few years back, it was welcomed by then owner David Richardson and the manager John Rizzo. What followed was an amazing gathering of players in their 70’s because we had the minimum age set for 70 at the 1st tournament. Then here at one pocket.org during the pre tournament discussions there were people who were obviously feeling left out because of their age. They wanted to play... That’s when the idea hit me for an annual members only tournament and that ball picked up momentum among the members here and came to fruition the next year in Nawlins... So it’s safe to say that Bogies, and one pocket.org and it’s many members are far and away the biggest reasons why these two annual events have experienced the success they have over the last few years... I’m very glad that the new owner of Bogies and his “OLD” manager Rizzo want to continue the tradition with the Seniors Tournament at Bogies Billiards in Houston...
They thank onepocket.org and it’s membership for their continued support...

They are still undecided Robert, but it’s definitely going to happen... as soon as they figure out the dates where the tournament will work, ( no conflicts ) John Rizzo will let me know and I will post them, along with registration information, phone numbers, etc etc...

Whatever date works is fine with me -- I very much appreciate them committing to this!

BOB Newkirk, Under Biden’s INFRASTRUCTURE BILL. Aren’t 53 year olds considered seniors in this event?

Will wearing masks be required by the players while playing?

Will wearing masks be required by the players while playing?

Only the incognito players and sweaters will be wearing masks.

Will wearing masks be required by the players while playing?

I was just at Bogies and Big Tyme. No one wore a mask that I saw in my two days there.

Masks were required at the hotels and airports

I hope we get a date nailed down soon so we can make arrangements.

I thought they might schedule it in the fall to give things a little more time to settle down with COVID. At 65 and older you are more vulnerable even with the vaccine.

Here's a thought, and I'm sure allot of us Sr's might be in the similar situation.
Since matters/life/traveling have opened up, allot of us have our summers already scheduled out for family time....which has been non existent for many.
I'd rather see the event sometime in September/early fall.
The summer surge of travelers will be gone, schools will be in session, and family gatherings will not happen when the school season begins.
Plus....Hendy might join in, and..................It's a little cooler in S. TX.

 

[Bmoretallpaul]

As far as I can tell no definite date has been set.

 

[Island Drive]

Paul, just offering up another perspective/TIMELINE....It could help with our decision making since none's been made yet.

Bogies is a great place to have the Seniors tournament. They go out of there way to make sure that all the players have a great time. I just got some new Wilson tennis balls to go on my walker. Let the games begin.

 

[Island Drive]

In SE CO, they got tennis ball size hail yesterday....+ allot of twisters.

 

[levartze]

The venues at Bogies and CBC Fremont are both great. They both add money and SZZR mentioned Fast Eddies in Santa Cruz but is money added at that venue?

Or, Hardtimes in Sacramento.

Or, Hardtimes in Sacramento.

Stopped in Hard Times last night, first time since last July.
Tables all recently recovered and the place looking real clean. But then Maria always keeps the place exceptionally clean.
I really love the LED lights they put in a couple years ago - it really opens the room and makes spectating from the bleachers much better.
