Brian, this year's U.S. Open is October 18-24. Here's the link: U.S. Open 9-Ball Championship at Chesapeake Beach, Virginia

I can't make it this year, but me and mine have attended previous years. My partner came in third place in 2003. That was the year they had that Tropical Storm Isabel.

BTW, it's totally non-smoking inside the Chesapeake Conference Center. The best players from around the world will be there. It's a great event!
