Dissapointed that we didn't have enough of a turnout for the DCC CCB tournaments. There was just too much happening at the DCC.. 9 ball and One Pocket matches still going on.
Special thanks to Greg Sullivan for adding $100 to the CCB tournament.. sorry I had to give the money back..
Greg Sullivan, of Diamond Tables, throws a great party... the DCC was the biggest field ever, in all three divisions. 350+ in the Banks, almost 300 in the 1 hole, and 260+ in the 9 ball. With this many players there were lots of NEW challenges to the DCC and Greg Sullivan's support staff. Greg and crew made the very best possible decisions based on what they had to work with and in the end he made more players happy than not.
CCBers that I had the pleasure meeting;
"RalphS" from Ft. Wayne, Indiana and his Dad Willis..
"Rhino Chaser".. from Lima OH.
"dddd" from the Louisville area.. btw he was doing well in the team tournament.
I know I met some others, and I apologize for not remembering.. but there was so much going on.
I spent about 30 minutes talking to Pat Flemming about the DVD products.. and they are comming soon. Pat is promising that this will be an offering very soon. Details that need to be worked out are in the process.
I chatted with Mike Howerton (AZBilliards) for about an hour, about the tournament coverage, state of pool, the good, the bad and the ugly. We also agreed that the scenery at the Derby was very good this year.
Brady Berhman was there in new clothes, the airlines rerouted his luggage to some warmer area.... he was there taking entry fees for the Mid Atlantic tournament this month. Always a pleasure helping the younger generation Brady..
Bill Incardona introduced a pool betting website that is in the works. More info in the future?
Mike Segal was there hawking his new cues.
Willie Joplin was there selling his One Pocket tape and telling stories.
Charlie Williams and Mika Innomen were there..
Alex Pagulyon was there... and making people laugh everywhere.. playing cards and matching up.. Alex seemed to have a very good time.
Corey Duel, Troy Franks, Dee Adkins, Tommy and Whitey Stephenson, Steve McAnnivich, Shawn Putnam (all Ohio boys)
Truman Houge, John Brumback (KY Bank kings)
Met Thomas Shaw of "Pool and Billiards" and introduced him to CCB. He's really one nice guy. He gave me a copy of his "legends of Johnson City" articles from the 9 part story he wrote for 9 issues of "Pool and Billiards" And, its worth reading.. he promised to check this board out.
More later.. I need to go and play some pool.. to relax..
