The SDAPA 9 Ball City
Championships featured many very close matches that came down to the last ball.
The semifinal match between Just Stroke It and Hood Racks left just about
everyone who saw the finish nearly speechless with such an incredible finish. We
are very proud of the sportsmanship that was displayed throughout the entirety
of both weekends of City Championships. Everyone was a winner in our book.
We wish to individually thank
everyone who helped out this weekend to help make this tournament a success.
Karyn Horn, Kurt Manley, Les Spellman, Dodge Johnson, Jimmy Langston, Pat
Barrett, Bill Wingo, Coach, Mac, Ken Marby, David Schmidt, Wendy Steinman and
Lindsay Miller. Thanks also to the Hungry Stick for giving us the necessary
space to conduct the City Championships. We are already looking forward to next
year’s event, even though we are still completely exhausted.
Teams qualifying for Nationals
receive $200 per player in travel money, 4 rooms per team at Nationals for the
entirety of their event, trophies for the bar and each player, and we pay the
$250 entry fee into the event. Each team also receives $350 in last place prize
money when they register their team into the event. The 9 Ball National
qualifiers will be in Las Vegas for 4 days and the 8 Ball National qualifiers
will be in Las Vegas for 6 days. Go to www.poolplayers.com
to find out more about the
APA National Team Championships.
Nobody is qualified for the 2008
National Team Championships yet. The Summer Session is the first session to
qualify your team for the City Championships. We wish each team the best of luck
in getting their team qualified.
The Sunday teams were off this
week for Father’s Day, so I’ll get back to writing about regular league
stuff next week. But, I do want to take a second to thank everyone who shared
kind words of thanks to us over the City Championship weekends. If putting on a
smooth running tournament isn’t satisfying enough, hearing it from the players
just emphasizes it for us. We thank you for the kind words and your continued
support!
We have already posted all of the
winners on our message board.
Jill has posted the pictures of the winners on the home
page of the web site. We’ll post the 2nd and 3rd
place winners very soon.
Have a great week and Shoot Pool
Good! Brian/Jill/Lindsay
