Hi Folks,
Just got home from Vegas. It was HOT!!!!. Watched some great pool over two nights at Griff's. Was kind of concerned about viewing areas. Not really a problem. $10 at the door. $10 coupon for food and / or drink or pool time. Awesome play from some great players. Congrats to Shane. Somewhat overlooked was the performance of Max Eberle Went a long way in a field of champions. Well done Max!
Got to meet several AZ'ers. Fred Agnir was a commentator on the CSI stream. Purchased a new 3 x 5 Ultimate case from John and Karen Barton. Spoke with Bill Stock, Mark Griffin and Amy Kane of CSI. Got to play Frank "Dabarber" Almanza and Tom "Tommy D" Dilorenzo. Spoke with Scott Lee and Randy Goettlicker who were giving FREE pool lessons at the Rio. Also finally got to meet "lamas" at Griff's. Great to finally put a face with a screen name.
Only complaint was the match scheduling. With the exception of the first match on Monday, every other match ran late including my first match with Ed Borrego which was three hours behind! Bad Boys has to make some changes. One and one half hours for races to six is difficult specially in the lower divisions.
Going to start another thread to discuss the ramifications of Fargo ratings on the event. Still honestly think adjustments need to be made. Glad to see CSI deleted the Fargo information on the score sheets. Players really don't need to know their opponents number if no handicap is involved.
