Most Memorable Thread: JAM's threads about Keith actions and her reports on the tournament trail. Thank you.

Best New Product: Well, of course the X Breaker! :D :D It is impossible for me to give an unbiased opinion.:D :D And Jack Justis's light weight case.

Poster with Best Avatar(s): I like Tanner's new avater. It shows his home table with a lot of his nice trophies in the background.

Best Pool Seen on TV: WPC, Amway Cup.

Regional Tour of the Year: I think the tiger planet pool tour has the best regional tour web site I have seen. I have heard lots of excellent things about the Viking tour, but unfortunately, I have yet been to one.

Pool Event of the Year: US Open, it is a very special event because it was the first time I have been to VA, where I met a lot of players and made a lot of friends. Everyone was extremely kind to me and it makes the memory very positive.
