Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the TFC payout 100% of the
entry fees?
Isn’t that what is supposed to happen? We feel that the people that are
playing in the tournament should not pay any promotional fee to this or any
other organization. We do not
use your money for advertising or promotion of our events. Your entry fee
goes directly into the prize fund for the event that you are playing in. There are no pretenses that the
tournament is anything but a tournament open to all Villages residents for their
enjoyment. Where else can you go on Friday evening and
play for ALL the cash?
Why is there no dress code?
The Villages recreation department has
established a dress code for the recreation centers in The Villages. We see no need to improve upon a
working system. As Don Feeney has
stated, “Billiards is a beautiful game played by beautiful people.” Why do we want to improve upon that?
Are these tournaments just for the
best players?
We have maintained a policy that any
person with a Villages ID can enter our tournaments.
Why is the fee only $10?
We want to make the tournaments
affordable to all. You play in a
double-elimination event that others have copied. Yet if
you win with a full field, you get a bigger prize. Does it make sense to pay
just as
much for less?
Can I come and observe?
We don’t charge admission. Come on down and spend some time
watching your friends play. Better
yet, bring your stick and enter; it’s only $10.
