Brickyard people

Beckley and Nesli were giving 3 to 10 I believe. Lost the first set but looked to be in control of the next when I walked away. I was setting there watching that and the JL match for quite a while next to Big Steve.

I didnt realize that was you playing Bobby, I was there waiting for the table when you guys finished.

I also heard someone joking about you getting the bye, I think the words were "like he needs it" LOL :D

Knifley won his match with JL, he played strong. He also crushed me in the first round of the tourney. I never really got a chance to get anything going, hung one seven ball but other than that he really controlled the match to the point that I couldnt do much LOL.

Tom D'alfonso was in the hot seat. Brian Groce and Dee Adkins were playing for the right to play Tom when I left last night around 10:30.
 
Thanks

That would explain why Mac ain't called me back yet. I left a voicemail at his office. He must have slept in this morning. My guess is, the finals went 2 sets and lasted til the early morning hours. When it gets down close to the end, and all the cash is on the line. I like Brian in this format. Guy has played some great pool over the years I've known him.

Man, did I pick it wrong. Apparently, Dee played a really good set, {he usually does} and beat Brian in the finals of the loser side. He needed to beat Tom D'alfonso twice. Dee won the first set 9-2, and Mac said they both started to unscrew their sticks. So, they have a co-champion for this year. They made an agreement, and I am sure they got the ok from those involved in the calcutta, to split if Dee won the first set.

Mac also said, that with 9 less players than the one in spring, Brian Groce managed to raise the same amount in the calcutta. With only 12 players remaining on Sunday, the 2nd calcutta was roughly $2000 total. Congrats fella's on some great play.

I'm sure they will. Still turned out pretty good though. Around $9000 in calcutta money, plus, I think they added the full $1500 even though it was 9 short of full field.
