JAM,
Thank you so much. Thank you for your time and your wonderful writing style. I have such a great time reading your posts.

We should have someone print up a decent azbilliards.com shirt and sell it here so we can raise funds to equip JAM with what she needs to keep posting from tourneys.

Maybe she could print up a shirt of Keith. The right picture on the shirt and you could have an instant classic.

A lot of players I know would buy it if it turned out cool. How 'bout a photo of Keith in his stance on the front and "RACK 'EM, JACK DADDY!" on back?

I would buy. I like 'RACKEM"

Black-balled, you need to go to this Skins tour. Man, it's fun.

Anyways, my man Santos won beating Delicious in the Sudden Death Final game.

The Final game was worth $73,500.00!! Santos broke, made a ball and it was all over except for the shouting.

And I also won! I won the Viking cue they had on raffle. It was worth $1400.00. Before you enter the theater, the door person hands you a complimentary ticket for the raffle

He gave me the winning ticket!! A beautiful five point ivory, curly eyed maple with a matching irish linen wrap.

I love it!!

Well, well, well, Mel, you told me I may not know who you are on AzBilliards, but I do now!

BTW, that was an unbelievable finish, and I was happy to see Santos take it off. He's a trooper, and when the pressure is on, Santos was able to keep his cool and win. Bravo to him.

See you on the tournament trail, Mel! Congratulations on winning that beautiful Viking cue, too.

Can you tell me how the Skins tournament works? I played in a small one in CN once.

Linda,

Each rack is worth a certain cash value. The racks increase in value as they progress. I believe there are something like 13-15 racks (remembering from the televised '04 tournament).

In order to win a skin, a player must win 3 consecutive racks. After he wins his first, the next player (of 4 total including himself) comes to the table and breaks. If he wins the 2nd, the next player steps up and breaks. (You see here how it's difficult to win 3 straight). Basically you have to beat everybody once.

If nobody wins 3 in a row, the money stays in the prize pool for the next skin. (This is how there was a $54,000 skin at the end) If nobody wins a skin by the time the last game is played then there is a mini-tournament...single elimination...for all the cheese. This is what Santos won.
