Updated from 2008 ed. Amendments: Midwest (overflow added). Added: Indiana, Istanbul, London, Ankara, Istavder, Atlanta Spring, Bristol, Prague (WSOB), Cyprus, PGT Forges, Mediterranean, US Open, New Mexico. Deleted: American Doubles (formerly Pro-Am Doubles).
Source: Largely www.chicagopoint.com. "--" = no tournament that year. "???" = attendance unknown. Figures generally count people and don't include rebuys. Tournaments change names and sponsors; wrt e.g. Riviera, Nice, Cannes, Prague, it's a bit confusing as presented.
Left out: Finnish Open, German Open, Oslo Open, Swiss Open and many other European tournaments (mostly Danish and British) that usually attract few international players.
Also left out: Most inactive tournaments, including including tournaments in Abu Dhabi, Boston, Bucharest, Istanbul, Mallorca, Maryland, Moscow, New York, Prague and Texas.
