Bargain tournament a bummer
Where was everyone at the $25 multi-table tournament at Dania Beach Jai-Alai on Monday night?
A $25 tournament is a bargain down here. I figure there should be at least 100 people playing.
But by my count, there were only about 40.
That's not enought to make it worthwhile.
Tell me why there weren't more players?
The tournament starts at 6:30 p.m., right after work.
Bud on tap is $1 during happy hour.
The tables are comfortable and not crammed together.
The entry fee is affordable.
And there's plenty of parking.
Sure, Dania Beach Jai-Alai is no Hard Rock. It's definitely more of a local venue.
So where were you guys? Are tournaments just not that big down here?
Here's your chance to rant: What could make this tournament better?
I think it simply needs more players. I was disappointed that the first-place prize was only about $250, and only the top five players were paid.
I think a better big-screen TV could help the place, too.

I'm glad you posted this. We haven't been to Jai-alai in ages, and didn't even know the schedule.
I enjoy the multi-table tournaments to a degree. Some of them at the Seminoles just get too long, so I usually play the single table tourneys. Different strategy too, in that you need to be a little more aggressive.
