AGD KIds: Pro?????

[Richter]

(assuming you are playing super 7)
Go pro if the following is true:

You don't mind not playing any amateur events in your local area. You will be basicly banned form playing any amateur events across the nation.

All you are planning to play is this series' pro events or any pro events for that matter.

undrstand you are playing for money and you will now have to either watch the amount you win for tax purposes (but oh the deductions are probably sweet!)

but if this series is the teams true dedication then do it and here is why:

expenses wise it is the only way that makes sense. If you guys are paying your own way it will only cost you 200 or 100 dollars more. Hotel, food , transportation and paint are relatively the same no matter which division you play. So the only hampering factor is the entry fee. (which did go up this year and there are less people per team so cost per player went WAY up)

entry fees are as follows: pro-1650 (236/player), amateur 1550(221/player), novice 1450( 207/player), rookie 1350 (193/player)
a 43 difference per player between playing pro for 20,000 in cash vs playing novice 10,000 in inflated high MSRP in prizes

After paying around 600/player if you pay your own way, the extra 43 bucks seems the way to go.

but that is just my opinion/logic

Espo: you said getting beat in pro is a learning experience. In pro if you get beat its NOT a learning experience. in the pro division these are the options of your team:A:break up B:lose all ur players C.Go back to a lower division or D:Win.

Getting beat and learning from your mistakes happens when your just starting out, or enterting a tourney for the first time, not in pro. There are maybe 150 pros out of the 7 million players worldwide so pros are expected to be at the top of their game not learning from their mistakes.

AGD Kids you have all the Mag users behind you no matter what choice you make but PLEASE THINK before you decide to move to pro
Good luck!

i dont think you guys undstand that the reason we are going to play pro is because tom kay wants us to. he says now is the time because all the top pro teams are moving to x-ball. and if we do terrible the first couple times we can always move back down as long as we dont place real well.

Well heck! TK has seen you play and it is his product name on the line. If he thinks you can do it, why not! Go Kids!

agdkid#3 that still does not change my views. If it was you or tom wanting to do it it doesnt change my views.


The thing that gets me, is every one seems to forget the jax warriors, yea, agd's old factory team. Yea they used to be really really hot! but alas, thats not on the subject.


Jay and the kids, you cna even see, brimstone smoke has decided not to turn pro, and you may want to do it for the same reason they chose. They got new players. Now you need ot realize, you guys need more players as well. If your doing super 7, you need 7 men and those are 2 other players, who your team needs to get used to before. Dont forget this. PLease let us know what the decision and turn out was

Alright guys we are playing 5 man amatuer at this years mardi gras. we decided that if we can do good at the am events we will jump to pro some time later in the season. thanks for all of your input.

We will go pro sometime soon though just gonna stick in the am div. to get a feel for where we want to be this year.
