International Pool Tour Announces IPT Pro-Am Tournament
The International Pool Tour has announced the IPT Pro-Am tournament with a $50,000 prize fund with $8000 for first and a $6,000 bonus for being on the same team as the winner.
The International Pool Tour (IPT) has anounced the IPT Pro-Am Tournament. Sixteen of the best players in the world will compete with an open field of players in a new and unique format November 8-9, 2008.
The Pro-Am Tournament is open to any competitor who places in the top six of a qualification tournament. There are sixteen qualifier events- each corresponds with a top professional player. The top six finishers in each qualifier get teamed up with their pro for the main event.

The total prize purse is $50,000.
Qualification events will be held throughout Chicagoland starting September 13th. The full schedule of qualification events is available online at www.internationalpooltour.com. Entry fees are $85 in person, which includes a $5 greens fee for the host room. Members of the military, female players, children, anyone presenting their league membership card, or any online entrants pay only $75.
Extensive online coverage, including match stats, pictures, and streaming video of the main event, will be available at Internationalpooltour.com.
