Bubble Boys
« on: January 12, 2005, 02:47:48 AM »
I know it's a bit early to be talking about this, but if the Tour were to end today, the following guys would be looking at trying to win their jobs back in the next edition of Tour Trials:

41     Amleto Monacelli 9 45,291.00  
42     Lonnie Waliczek 10 43,548.00  
43     Tony Reyes 9 41,957.00  
44     Ryan Shafer 10 41,917.00  
45     Brian Kretzer 9 41,899.00  
46     Shannon Buchan 9 41,515.00  
47     Richard Wolfe 9 41,114.00  
48     Eric Forkel 9 40,596.00  
49     Dennis Horan Jr. 9 38,271.00  
50     Tim Criss 9 37,453.00  
51     Bob Learn Jr. 9 36,978.50  
52     Brian LeClair 9 36,049.00  
53     Justin Hromek 9 35,844.00  
54     Jason Queen 7 29,717.00  
55     Bill Rowe 9 27,733.00  
56     Jim Pratt 9 27,554.00  
57     Patrick Girard 9 26,754.00  
58     D.J. Archer 9 26,591.00  

What the heck happened to Walizcek and Shafer? Didn't they both finish last year in the top 16 in points?

Oh yeah, and PDW is lucky he has a multi-year exemption:

37     Pete Weber 9 47,759.00


Do you see anyone from this list making a big run in the second half of the season?

wow. How many actually go forward to next year? Is it the top 50?
How do they determine who takes their place?
I know that the top points person from each region...

Wow, I forgot about Delutz... that means only the top 39 from the points list, and if any tournament winners or multi-year exempts fall outside the top 39, then the cut will be even lower.

I probably missed one or two, but it looks like almost all of the guys who came through last year's Tour Trials will be back there again this year, with the notable exceptions of Mike Edwards and the guy everybody here (except me) seems to love to hate, Dave Traber.

Walichek and Shafer have both really struggled this year. They are both MIA.
