2010 ACUI Intercollegiate 9-Ball Championship

[BWTadpole]

I thought I'd throw a thread up now that all of the qualifiers are said and done with. From what I've gathered so far, there's a good chance that the tournament will be held at the University of Michigan. As of last weekend, they were the only college to offer their union to hold the thing. Also, ACUI will not be held in conjunction with Junior Nationals as it has been in the past.

Does anyone know about other students who have qualified for Nationals so far? The region-to-region results are a bit hard to come by.

EDIT: Actually, I take that back. The results are kind of easy to find.

DOUBLE EDIT: The tournament will be hosted by the University of Michigan, date TBD.

Nice. Do you happen to know where the Nationals are going to be held? Also, where did you find the region-by-region results!? I searched, but to no avail : [

So far, all signs are pointing at UMich, but other colleges have until the end of this week to apply to host the tournament. And the best I could do as far as results come from each of the regions' ACUI sites. Here's what I found, listing the people invited to the tournament:

1st - Ryan Gilligan - The Richard Stockton College of New Jersey
2nd - Gregory Blasdel - University of Delaware

Region 4 - Maryland, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Northern Virginia, Washington, DC

1st - Hamilton Yim - University of Maryland – Baltimore County
2nd - Grant Moller - University of Maryland
3rd - David Stanley - University of Maryland – Baltimore County

Region 6 - Alabama, Bermuda, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, Puerto Rico

1st - Raymond Linares - Miami Dade College

Region 8 - Wisconsin, Upper Peninsula Michigan, Chicago

1st - Jonathan Strzezewski - Wright College

Region 10 - Iowa, Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Manitoba, Western Ontario

The ACUI usually holds theirs at the same place where the BEF junior nationals are held, which is Northern Illinois University this year.

Thanks for the info. BWTadpole

And in my original post, I said that ACUI and BEF Junior Nationals will not be held at the same venue. BEF will be at NIU, but the ACUI venue is still TBD.

My buddy Raymond Linares won the regional event held in Orlando. Not sure if the Sam Gilmer info is correct for region 6 bc I know Ray snapped it off and I thought he beat a UF player to do so in the finals.

You're probably right. A lot of the results I got were from last year's qualifiers, so those results may have been mislabeled as this year's.

Be seeing you there! I lost my regional, but I won an independent qualifier at the University of Michigan last week.

I will be seeing you there as well! Won the Region 15 tournament here in California back in February!

I played ACUI a couple of times in the late 80's, early 90's when it was still 8-ball...

Man, I wish we could have played 9-ball...!!

There's always time enough to enroll in college again!

I'm sad I'm not in college anymore. I'd love to participate. :grin:

Ill take a lil sweat bet on my buddy Ray to snap it off this year. Ill take him against the rest of the field betting 40 to win 50 if anyone wants action on this.

Maybe he was talking dog years. My strategy for the ACUI was to wait until the good players graduated. It helped that I took 20 years to get out of college.

You won ACUI Nationals for Cal Berkeley right Bob?
