I don't know what you mean Gary, I'm relaxed! I really thought that I've been nice, so far...I guess I don't have a reason to be, but I choose to be. People are so touchy these days!
 
Who was on the Des Moines team that won the Level 1 tournament at ISPA? That's a nice win. Tough tournament to do well in...large field, shorter races and a lot of strong teams.

It was Jimmy, Tony, Orion, Anthony, and Theo. I wish I'd had a chance to watch them play some, but with the different buildings and our team playing without breaks on Sunday it just couldn't happen.

Congrats guys!

I agree, I wish we could have watched some of their matches!! I think it's awesome that another Des Moines team won!!
 
I watched them, Anthony if I had to estimate broke and ran about 50% of his racks, this is not an exaggeration either he was unconscious. Here's a funny stat, during the championship against the Dakota Cue Club The score was 6-3 and Jimmy was up. Well in that time Anthony and Theo broke and ran and Jimmy was still playing. Jimmy finally gets out and then they realize they won the Championship, it was a funny moment. From what I saw they were all playing pretty well and Tony/Jimmy were grinding out wins while the rest of the crew was freewheeling runouts. They deserve a lot of props because they earned it and stuck together like a good team does. No one was running outside smoking cigs, pouting off to the side, or sitting tables apart from their team...I learned a lot watching those guys play as a unit and not 5 individuals.

I went to smoke a few times, and got upset a couple times, didn't stop us from winning...just saying.
 
We have chemistry, which will win you more tournaments than a powerhouse team of all-stars. I think the finals of the Masters proved that!

I hope those guys keep playin together if possible. They do play good together!!!

100% right, it's huge in those tourneys. Those guys believed in each other, even when the matches went hill-hill all they talked about is how they were able to pull it out and never said bad things about their team members dogging it. They're all pretty tight in daily life anyway and I think that carried over into the tournament...after the tourney was over however I did hear once the alcohol got mixed in all hell almost broke loose lol.
 
Can we talk about the term $1000 added guaranteed for a second?

It doesn't make sense at all. For a tourney to guarantee $1000 they are basically saying they will add the difference to get the prize pool up to a grand and nothing over that.

$1000 added with no qualification of a minimum field means they throw in a grand no matter what.

All I am saying is with 40 players in this tourney Dogs wouldnt have to add a dime and the flyer would be right...I hope its $1000 on top of everything!

Supposed to be $1000 added to the top. not sure if there is a min. entry.
 
Team Chemistry is huge!!! That's how 2 master players and 4 open morons you wouldn't trust with a potato gun won the masters division in bca a few years back! :-)
