‘Big Guns’ Update: 10th March 2010
Entries are closed!!!
We filled the final spots in the ‘Big Guns’ today. Well done guys… 32 players is great!
For those players who missed out, thankyou for your interest…
but as they say… “he who hesitates, is lost!”
More info will become available as the date gets closer, so stay tuned.
It would be appreciated if all players can have themselves available at Snookerworld between 5pm and 6pm on the Friday afternoon. The draw will be done ‘Live’ at 6pm and every player will be required to draw their position in the draw, so there is no excuses, you will all be the masters of your own destiny.

‘Big Guns’ Update:
At this stage, we have 27 players in total (Pro’s, Intermediates and amateurs)
Unfortunately, Steve Woods has pulled out to unavoidable work committments.
The advertised minimum prize money has not been affected by this withdrawal.
It is looking very likely that the 32 spots will be filled.
If you are thinking about playing, don’t delay, nominate now!!!
Once I have 32 players… Entries will be closed!!!

*** IMPORTANT TOURNAMENT NOTES ***
Due to this being the first ‘Big Guns’ tournament that I have organised, and there is big money involved, there have been decisions made ‘on the run’ to try and ensure a successful tournament.
I trust everyone can understand that I have tried to accomodate everybody the best I can.
I would like everybody to be aware of the following;
* WA Players Rebate:
The four WA pro’s that are coming over from Perth will receive an airfare rebate.
The ‘Big Guns’ tournament will pay a rebate for evey dollar over $300 that has been spent on airfares up to $200.
This means if the airfare costs $450, then the rebate will be $150.
However if the airfare costs $600, then the rebate has been capped at $200 only.
This rebate will not in any way have any impact on the advertised prize money.
(Note) This rebate only gets paid if a player does not receive any prize money.
* Best Amateur
If the remainder of the spots get filled with amateurs, we will be offering a ‘Best Amateur’ cash prize.
The amount will be decided just prior to the tournament starting.
This amateur prize will not in any way have any impact on the advertised prize money.
* Intermediate Players
Some players that heve been deemed ‘not quite’ pro or ‘too good’ for amateur have been offered ‘Intermediate’ spots at $500.
Thus far, those player offered ‘Intermediate’ spots have not made a decision.
Intermediate players will not be eligable for the ‘Best Amateur’ prize money. (If any)
* Prize Money
At this stage we have 16 pro players. So the minimum prize money stated at the start still applies.
1st: $10,000
2nd: $4,000
3rd: $1,000
4th: $1,000
Note: Once rebates, expenses and admin have been deducted, all remaining monies will be included into the prize money. This figure will not be known until the Sunday of the tournament.
No money will be left in the bank once this event has concluded.
As you have all trusted me with your nomination money, I would think that you all trust that I will distribute the monies honestly and truly.

Tournament Director.
