Question For Fornatale on ATR
Steve, next time you have Forntale would it be possible to ask him what is up with NHC Qualify or DRF Tournaments not having NHC Qualifiers? Do they plan to? Right now it seems only HT.com has them, DW may, but not as many. Just odd when they want to grow the NHC that they haven't even used the platform that usually gave the most qualifiers each year...
Or maybe you already know the answer? It could have been asked at some point, I need to catch up on some podcasts. I personally much prefer HT.com, but I was just curious what the deal was..

Ken.
I can answer a bit. Word was in Vegas that they weren't renewing all elements of the long-running sponsorship deal. Seems things are still undefined for '17. Will bring it up with Pete but not sure how much he can say.

My understanding is that DRF is out of the NHC completely. Their "sponsorship" never really amounted to anything as they never contributed to the prize pool. Horsetourneys will be the main on-line source now.
Not sure what led to the breakup. DRF made lots of money holding qualifiers and will not make nearly the same offering HPWS spots instead. NTRA will lose the spotlight that Pete and DRF brought to it. Seems that both sides lose in this deal. Paul

Let's not forget about the BCBC online qualifiers as those seem to have disappeared completely as well now from the online realm, which I think is more of a loss.
I've tried to reach out a few times to see where these will turn up, hopefully a resolution will come soon for that too

My presenting Pete weekly has been courtesy of my own programming decision. Other than the NTRA providing hotel accommodations in Vegas, I take no compensation from any NHC-related entity for the airtime.

Looks like the 2018 tourney will get the big TI Ballroom. That will be nice.

I think I remember seeing that some time ago and signing up to be notified, but didn't really think much of it. Makes a ton more sense now as to why they were discussing a tour.
Guess we will see what happens but agree, where does the "millions" come from?

Nice. Of all the tourney sites that are, and have come and gone, I think HT is the best. Just so user friendly and easy to navigate. Glad for them.
