Entry Fees
Regardless of the sport, all competitors have valid reasons for participating in tournaments and contests - recognition, the level of play, the internalized struggle, and the personal satisfaction. Rarely do they mention monetary reward, but as the old adage suggests, if they say it's the principle, it's the money. After all, "Show me the money" may be the new catch phrase, but the concept is an old one. It is not unusual for professional players with financial acumen and business write-offs to complain about the size of entry fees in the relation to prize money potential or size of purse. Ben Franklin wanted two birds with one stone, and these days, everyone with time management skills and economic savvy wants the best bang for their buck. The Derby City Classic presented by Horseshoe Casino and Hotel, with a high level of guaranteed prize money in relation to its low entry fee, provides an explosive opportunity that few players, professional or amateur, will ignore. Only in The Derby City Classic presented by Horseshoe Casino and Hotel can a total and modest $405 (Entry Fees include a $10.00 registration fee for each event) entry fee investment give you the chance to win money in all three different games. It's an irresistible billiards trifecta.

WPA WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP FOR WHEELCHAIR PLAYERS
Jan 31 and Feb 1, 2010

The WPA World Championship for Wheelchair Players will take place at Horseshoe Southern Indiana immediately following the 2010 DCC.


The Dynamic Derby City Draw software has undergone substantial improvements and extensive testing as we prepare for the 2010 Derby City Classic. The new software has added tools for us to create a master tournament schedule which will allow us to manage the tournament to this schedule. Therefore, when the age old question is asked “When do I play my match?” We will have a better answer for you. Now we will be able to tell you that, you won’t play BEFORE a certain time. This will give players the freedom to leave the tournament arena to go and eat, rest in their rooms, go to the casino, etc…

We have also added an additional backup server to our network, as well as a separate external hard drive, which backs up the database every 15 minutes. The scrolling tournament report will be available via derbycityclassic.com and will also be displayed on your hotel room TV.
