Now that Amsterdam Billiard Club's Fall Season in well underway, we are happy to say that this season has set a new record. The 2010 Fall season is Amsterdam Billiards' largest ever! Big ups to Greg and Ethan Hunt, to league directors Chris Lynch, John Leyman, Danny Barouty, GM Ben Soltz, managers, AGM, Steve Lay, Damien Milit, Michael Yednak and the entire staff at Amsterdam for all they do to make our leagues one of the best in the nation. Now lets acknowledge all of the league and winners from the summer sessions.
Team 8 Ball League - League Director: Chris Lynch
The ever-strong and by the way largest of the leagues at Amsterdam, saw the "Pocketeers" take the title. Team members were: Julio Pena, Tom Mulane, Hal Klinger, Magaly Ramos, and team Captain Vince Ramos.
Runners-Up, were "More Cowbell" with team members: Tom Ellis, Eddie Chan, Dave Friedman and team Captain Cho Yeung.
The final was a closely contested battle as both teams were tied up 12-12 as the last match was being played and won by Julio Pena!
3rd/4th places: "8 Balls" and "All Chalked Up"
5th-8th: Pocket Rockets, Rack'n'Break, 4Q2 and Snookers
Individual 9 Ball League - League Director: Chris Lynch
This fall saw a very large group in the intermediate group requiring three sessions on Sunday afternoon and evening. The summer session again saw the intermediate players knocking off the advanced players as league rookie Drew McCalmont took out seasoned veteran Jeremy Gourd.
3rd/4th places: Luis Novas and Robert Kabakow
5th-8th: Taryn Kosviner, Sean O'Sullivan Darby, Edwin Camejo, and Michael Carrano.
Team 9 Ball League - League Director: John Leyman
This league has set a new record as it has fielded what maybe the strongest players yet. Will make the run for the $15.000 first prize a very exciting one indeed. Not taking anything away from the action of the past summer session that saw the four man rooster of "Do The Hustle" take the title! Team members: Tony Englesias, Stuart Mickle, Robert Hom and team Captain Javier Colayco.
Runners-Up honors went to "The Dementers" with Team members Daniel Dugan, Peyton McGinnis, Josh Nudell, Steve Wade, Ben Caetaneros, Michael Miller and team Captain Yusuf Khan.
14.1 (Straight Pool) League - League Director: Danny Barouty
The resurgence of this league at Amsterdam truly shows how the leagues are able to spark an interest in getting players to play all games. Danny and Greg have been instrumental in nurturing this league to over 111 players. We now see a Masters division that includes, players such Former, World's #1 and Player of the Year, Mika Immonen, Tony Robles, George "Ginky" Sansouci, Danny Barouty, Zion Zvi, Steve Lipsky, Chris Lynch and Holden Chin!
Level playing in all division (no handicaps) and regular clinics by Danny help make the Amsterdam 14.1 league the place where Straight Pool is not only alive and well, but growing! The summer session winners were Steve Lipsky and Rich Novacs.
The action in the fall season is really heating up at Amsterdam, so we will be posting more updates as the season moves on!
