This year, we used new software at the DCC for giving the players scheduled match times. For the most part, it worked pretty well. We had a few problems with the hotels computer that fed information to the hotel room TVs. Also, we had numerous power failures that finally resulted in losing the...

The numbers for this year's DCC were up slightly from last year. 386 in Banks, 317 in One Pocket, and 293 in 9 Ball. We increased the entry fees several years ago.

Jasmine's performance was outstanding. It does make her the best all around player in European Womens Pool. However, there are a number of Asian women that would give her a run for the money: Yu Ram Cha, Xiao-Ting Pan. American Jeanette Lee should also be in the running, as she is excellent in...

I was this years Senior Tournament Director at the DCC. From a scheduling standpoint, this was our best year ever. We had the fewest forfeits ever. Having the tournament schedule displayed in as many places as practical helped a lot. Having said that, I agree that scheduling additional events...

The computer program at this years DCC was much improved over the past. We had minimal problems and were able to display the tournament schedule in the main room, out in the lobby, in the hotel rooms on channel 15, and on the internet. The comment about people standing around is due to the...
