**Howdy players...**

This time next week we'll be wrapping up another weekend of Hoosier Open action at **Muddy Bottoms**.

Six days from now the cue cases will be open, the practice tables will be busy, and somebody will already be talking about how they're "finally breaking good." 😄

So let's check in...

📍 Where are you traveling from?

🚗 Who's making the trip with you?

🎱 And here's the big question...

Who's coming to win, and who's just hoping not to draw that one player in the first round? We all have one.

Drop a comment and let us know where you're rolling in from. Safe travels to everyone, and we'll see you next weekend.

**Howdy players...**

We're less than two weeks away from heading to **Muddy Bottoms** on **July 18-19**, and the countdown is officially on.

Whether you're chasing your first Hoosier Open title or looking to add another finish to your résumé, this is your next chance to get in action.

Every tournament has that one player who catches dead punch, that one hill-hill match everyone crowds around, and that one shot people are still talking about after the tables are put away.

The only question is... who's going to be this tournament's story?

If you're planning on making the trip, drop a 🎱 in the comments and tell us where you're coming from.

We'll see you at Muddy Bottoms.
