The Eleventh Annual George Fels Memorial Straight Pool Challenge at Derby City will be taking place January 24, 2016 to January 30, 2016. The qualifying attempts will take place Sunday through Wednesday.
For every $100 paid in, the player gets 12 chances. There is no limit to the number of times they can enter. They rack 14 balls and take the 15th ball in hand and cue ball in hand and see how many balls they can run . The three high runs for each of the first 4 days are paid $300, $200, and $100 respectively. The high run of the event gets an additional $1,000.00. The high runs have been as follows:
2006 High Run: 139 by Danny Harriman;
2007 High Run: 160 by Mika Immonen
2008 High Run: 147 by Mika Immonen;
2009 High Run: 154 by John Schmidt https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fpYppApyHhQ&list=PLfaC80gLaoP97nH829eMTqmpoXyaK95q6&index=1

The players with the top eight runs of the four days then have a single elimination tournament. We will be filming all of the attempts and all of the matches. The qualifiers and some of the matches will be streamed by TV Mike at http://www.tvmike.tv/premium.html. It will be available under his premium tab. You will need to become a member which costs $7.99 a month but that will get you access to the live stream and much more. Usually the semis and finals are filmed by Accu-Stats, if they can be scheduled properly. A lot depends upon who our finalists are and where they are in the 9 ball event.

There is now $12,000.00 committed in added money this year, the most ever.
We would like to thank our sponsors Diamond Billiards, Simonis Cloth, Aramith, Bob Jewett, Rich Klein, Ted Antle and Stan Haines.
We will be upstairs in the large room overlooking the arena that we have been using for the last three years. Stop by and say hi. If anyone wants to volunteer to help for a while as a scorekeeper, let me know. It is a great opportunity to watch how these monsters take apart some racks..
