Back when I started playing pretty much everyone went to events not knowing for sure they would get in. You stood in line with money in hand until the guy said "we're full".(or you dropped a check in the mail often not knowing if it had arrived or not)
This what I remember doing back in like the late 80's.
But back then most tournaments had 50-60 players, 3 rounds of 18 in one day.
I vaguely remember working a half day on Saturday, driving down to NW Indiana or Joliet area that afternoon, signing up for Sunday event with Brian Cummings or Gary Lewis, playing a round of random doubles Saturday evening before trying to find a cheap hotel (occasionally got to stay at a local's house to crash on the floor) for the night. 3 rounds on Sunday, maybe get home before 11pm.
