Or to the One Arm Turkey 3C Player that played a few year back in a Carom Cafe Tournament. In fact to anyone that Physically Handicaped. Isn't it about the comrade and just enjoy the game,

But Billiards/Pool is truly,if not the only through its History never turn a person away from the table.

And I APPLAUSE the USBA on this one issue ..USBA never [to my little knowledge] separated a player because of their Physically Handicaped or Gender in any Tournament.... as some sport/game have, Which show the different in Billiard and Pool competition.:thumbup::thumbup: USBA!!!!

I have to posthumously thank Steve Elzinga for all his tireless effort during the streaming of this tournament. And Dennis Dieckman for being an excellent tournament director. And my friend Gary Scharf for working with me to make this tournament a success.
 
Thanks for reminding me Bob. Erdem Kilicoglu is a good guy and a very good carom player. I am told that the 1st Olhausen Open was also the first USBA live-streamed 3 cushion tournament. There is video of the Kilicoglu match with Sonny Cho but I can't make it play. Almost everyone is smarter than I. Can you make it play?

I Believe Jan 2009 come before Oct 2009.

If there any earlier Live Streaming of USBA 3C Tournament... excluding Caromtv ... Carom Cafe Room video Camera... otherwise we both wrong.

Hopefully this clear this one issue. I believe Curlycue would also tell you that billiardshot was one of many supporters during SDE/ MI-Billiards earlier startup for 3C live streaming.

Zensteve .... if we were to say "1st Olhausen Open 3C Tournament " was the 1st USBA Major Sponsors [Olhausen Tables] 3C Tournament to be Live Stream, then your comment would be True.

I Think we both will agree... with this statement,,, That Michgan 3C Players or Michigan were the first to use Live Streaming Knowledge for the 1st 3C Regional Qualifier Tournament and the 1st Major Sponsor [Olhausen Tables] 3C Tournament in USBA History of Live Streaming.

The three winners are Michgan, USBA, and 3C Players in America.

BTW ... Nice Photos of those Events
