2nd Chance Tournament at Each Tour Stop!

Have you ever traveled several hours to a tournament feeling excited and confident, only to have a really tough draw or a few bad rolls?  Poof...just like that you are eliminated on the first day.  It happens to all of us on occasion but it's a bummer if you are looking forward to an action-packed weekend of pool.  

That is why we almost always hold a 2nd Chance Tournament on day #2 (normally Sunday) of APT tour stops. Anyone eliminated prior to the start of the 2nd Chance Tournament, which is usually 12:30 p.m., may enter.  The usual format is as follows:
