"Keeping an ancient game alive: Bob Byrne creates a billiards tournament in Dubuque"

http://www.thonline.com/article.cfm?id=285817

A quote from the article:

"It's being kept alive similar to how monks kept the Bible alive in the Year 400," cracked Bob Byrne, a Dubuquer, member of the Billiards Hall of Fame and author of "Byrne's Standard Book of Pool Billiards" and "Byrne's Wonderful World of Pool and Billiards." "It's an elegant and a beautiful game, and if you play it well, you're no longer interested in anything else."

Thank you Mr Byrne for providing interest in the game.I always like your comments on the 3c videos.You are the person that can spark a new interest in this game.I wish I lived near Iowa.
 
Fred Lamers 1st place also High Run (8) and Best Game (1.25)

Lupe Cruz 2nd place with 2 losses. The Championship match with Lamers and some
bumb got lucky and squeaked past 25-24.

Nam Cho took 3rd.

By the way the venue is superb.

Great writeup int the article Rethunk posted, Tom. But did you video any of the tournament, per Deek-A-MoM requestzzzzz???
 
Sorry, we didn't have a camera. Mine was in use and couldn't bring it.:angry: It may have been distracting in this room if I did have one.

They'll be more tourneys besides the annual Open, it was discussed. We'll figure it out.

By the way the Masons are offering a "Sporting Membership" for $100/year. Anyone near Dubuque or that travels there should consider it. There's 3 9' pool tables also in the room that match the carom tables.
