2nd Annual 14and1.com National Championships May 29-31

[selftaut]

I want to give a shout out to all the hundreds of players and also special thanks to several tireless league operators that participated in our 2nd consecutive successful year for the 14and1.com nationwide straight pool leagues!

This season we introduced many many players to our time honored game of straight pool. My mission is to keep the great game alive by providing a format for players to get involved in 14.1 in a level handicapped format that allows any skill level player to compete, and to constantly introduce new players to the great game to grow 14.1 over time.

Below you will find a list of players that qualified for the upcoming May 29-31, 2009 14and1.com Nationals by finishing in a top spot in their local 14and1.com sanctioned league, a few AZer's in there

The 14and1.com National Championships will once again be held at the beautiful Atlantic City Billiards Club in Egg Harbor, NJ on 10 designated Gold Crowns. Thank you once again Ernie Arcaro for being such a gracious host!

Looking forward to the tourney! It will be my first time to the East Coast actually, and first time in a large 14.1 event.

Hey John, thank you for the kind comments my friend, always nice to hear from you and looking forward to the tournament! Say hi to Mickey for me, I know he is struggling right now and I hope he pulls out of it to better times.

Right now, I don't have the funds to goto Latham, although I am hoping to get some business to be able to go.

I will let you know.
