NEW TOUR STRUCTURE

The structure and schedule for the BAAT tour is changing with the 2012 season which starts on February 11th at a new host venue for the BAAT Tour - Cue-phoria in Casselberry. In order to promote and encourage increased attendance at the tournaments in 2012, the following changes have been made:
- The tour schedule will be pared down to 6 tournaments: 5 regular-season events and the Grand Finale
- Your Grand Finale entry fee will be directly related to your attendance:
    - Play in all 5 regular season events, pay $20
    - Play in 4 regular season events, pay $45
    - Play in 3 regular season events, pay $60
    - Play in 2 regular season events, pay $75
    - Play in 1 regular season event, pay $90
    - Play in no regular season events, pay $120

The requirement to play in two regular season tournaments to participate in the Grand Finale has been eliminated.

Spread the word! With bigger fields, payouts will increase and more players will be paid!


Sponsors Needed

Sponsors are needed for the 2012 BAAT Tour season. More tour sponsors translate to more added money for the tournaments as well as "first-out" gifts, "one-out-of-the-money" gifts, and end-of-year cash and prizes for the top finishers. If you know someone who may be interested in sponsoring the tour with cash and/or items in exchange for advertisement, please contact Stephanie at (813) 833-8707.
