I was really looking forward to the NBC Telecast with all the interviews, what happened during the week. Stuff like that...

Wow. That's more than I've ever heard a tournament doing before! I was signed up and paid to bowl a woman's tournament in Vegas a couple of years ago. It was canceled the week before the tournament, and although I did get my entry fees back, I ate it on hotel and airline reservations. It would have been real nice to have had some support from the management!

Of course, "pursuing various options" could mean nothing more than calling the airlines and saying "umm, can you help our people out?  No? Ok, thanks anyhow."  It does not mean that the affected entrants will see one penny of the non-refundable charges.

True. I agree. But at least they're acknowledging the issue...
