All the servers have the same #69 on their shirt. You would think they would each have their own #. It would help the drunks find their server quicker. Johnnyt

At each Viking Tour event we do a Viking Cue Raffle. The tickets are sold for only $1 per ticket.

Winner of Saturdays $390 Viking Cue Raffle was Mr Hagar and on Sunday Andre Dussan won a $360 Viking Cue.

Pic of Andre with his new Viking Cue - Andre only purchased 3 tickets and is a local league player here in Cape Coral

Correction to results

Sorry Guys and Gals I made a huge mistake with the reporting of our results (there's a 1st time for everything..). Our Amateur division last weekend whent into late night overtime due to the huge amount of players at the event. Unfortunately this caused the TD's (Mike & Terrie Janis) to make a BIG mistake. Anyway, we mistakenly reported that Jeremy Bell won the Amateur event when in fact Jeremy took 2nd place and Chris Traux won the event.

I have made the appropriate corrections below and highlighted them in RED .


Humbly yours,

Mike Janis

They have a very friendly elevated bar and a full restaurant that serves items from finger foods to top quality Steaks or the latest catches from the local supply of fresh sea food. From the moment you walk into the this well thought out sophisticated designed room it shows why its the best in Florida's SW. The floors in the raised bar area are black Granite with an impressive white Onyx diamond in the center to help set the ambiance. To add the experience there are 24 flat panel televisions strategically placed through out the entire 10,000 square foot location. The walls are pleasantly decorated with timeless billiard room colors that feature framed in neon billiard themed art work. The facility is owned by AZr's own James Oswalt ( Az Forum name Biggame) and Ward Huey. The two of them share an unparalleled passion for the our sport with an eye for detail and welcome everyone to stop by and make your best game.
