Man thats a bad poster...
I don't understand why wayne is having ANY pro qualifiers except the one the night before the night of champions.
Anyone serious about qualifying would make the trek to new york anyway plus peaking for two shows 2 months apart is murderous.
Yes, bad poster, but that looks like a Goad/X-treme poster, not a DeMilia/PDI poster.
When he first began planning all of this, doing a series of low-level qualifiers seemed like a good idea. Things have changed, though, and whether it's a lack of available promoters or the fact that they're having success signing new pros *without* the qualifiers, they've opted to go in a different direction and to change the schedule around a bit.
So, you've made the right call and Wayne agrees - let the first qualifier happen right before the big premiere and that should provide the PDI with all the momentum it needs right from the very start.
