I'll be there that weekend, but I don't fly in until 10:00 PM Friday. As things stand here at work, I'd have to chance a first round forfeit to play Saturday and Sunday. Not out of the question, but I'd like to know if Friday will be first round, and second round on the winner's side only. If I can get things a bit more caught up, I'll change my flight out to be there in time to play the first round. 9-ball on a bar box is my favorite game!

Could you explain Texas Express rules, as I'm not familiar with that term. If it means one foul ball in hand, or two foul safety allowed, that's all I need to know.

If Scotty's little brother, Brett "The Jet" Smith from Tempe makes it to this tournament, please proxy bid on him for me in the Calcutta, up to $50.

See ya next month!
Bob
