"Can't believe what just happened...playing in a handicapped tournament at Castle Billiards in NJ...I'm at the highest handicap....Lost my first match yesterday and won the next 5 on the one loss side...came back today with 8 players left...the tournament director decides that I play too good and kicks me out, giving me my entry back...ain't that some B.S???"
Personally can't believe this happened. First the CSI scandal now this. There were a bunch of comments on this from to players such as Appleton and shaw etc saying things like welcome to the US pool world and yes this is normal by other players.
This is normal? Even worse many were indicating that race had something to do with it or the TD had a stake in someone else. First was $1700 I think.
wheres johnny t now?

Oh, Danny Boy, the racks, the racks are calling
All the balls, goin' down a ball return,
If I can hide the speed I’m playing,
This could be my tournament to burn.
Signed up and paid my spot at Castle,
Told ‘em I suppose I’m about an “A”,
I think TD Scott, took it line and sinker,
Oh, Danny Boy, oh Danny Boy, how I love myself this day
But when ye came, and watched me shootin’,
And it looked a lot like I had lied,
You did some diggin’, and said I’m done here
I knelt and begged; even softly cried....
Oh Danny Boy, Oh Danny Boy . . .
best,
brian kc
So you tried to rob a tournament and got caught and you're going to blame the TD? hmmm....
Question. Why were there other open players there allowed to play?
Question. Why were there other open players there allowed to play?
The issue is how do you deal with the players he beat before being kicked out? Do they get their entry fee back also? Give them free or 1/2 price entry to the next tournament? Do nothing?
He won 5 on the losers side which means 5 people got sent packing by a better than A level player.
Seems from the tournament rules they were right for kicking you out, although an A player can be very hard to tell apart from an Open on any given night.

Ramesh "Danny" Gokhul was the champion this weekend. Winning both the 8 ball and 9 ball events. Friday night he went undefeated and Saturday night he came fighting to earn the hot seat against Jason Klatt. Klatt defeated Gokhul in a fantastic match that ended 7-6. Also Saturday night, the young gun Martin Zavala Jr. took on Donny Thompson for the right to play Klatt in the hot seat. Zavala defeated Thompson 7-4. This set up the matches between Stephen Boucher and Donnie Thompson along with Gokhul and Ike Runnels on the one loss side and Zavala Jr taking on Jason Klatt in the hot seat. Boucher took on Thompson and defeated Thompson 7-3 and in a two hour spectacle, Gokhul defeared Runnels on the hill, 7-6. In the hot seat Klatt took on Zavala jr and was victorious in a 7-2 margin. The next match Gokhul took down Boucher in a 7-5 fashion. Zavala jr had a shot at redemption to face Klatt but Gokhul would have none of it, defeating Zavala 7-3. The main event was set up as Gokhul returned to take on Klatt. In order to win Gokhul had to defeat Klatt twice. Gokhul hit a gear spectators hadn't seen all weekend and defeated Klatt 7-2 and 7-1 to become the Final Destination 8-ball Champion!
A special thank you to everyone who attended.
