Additional info: I stopped in there on 11/9 to check out this tourney. It appears they had 12 people in the Wednesday tourney and it was a winner take all with no money added. There was no one for me to talk to to confirm this. It seems to be a great little biker bar with a great jukebox, but there is only one pool table. Beer was ice cold and cheap. When I talked to Lil Bit on the phone, she said people start coming in around 4pm and they start when they have enough people. Bartender said it usually starts about 5:30pm on Sunday. I left when there were no player there at 5:30pm.

Additional info: Went to this tournament on 11/9 when an earlier one fell through. What a nightmare this place is. It was relatively slow until about the end of the 2nd round of play, then the younger crowd came in. It wouldn't have been so bad, but it appears that none of their parents ever taught them manners or courtesy. If you play here, be sure to go with a buddy to watch your stuff. One player's case almost walked off. Bar service is terrible unless you know the bartender or a hot looking young guy. Both tables have difficult sides to shoot on due to walls. They guy running the tournament did a good job and was nice, but it didn't make up for the rest of the problems here.
