Hello players,
Congratulations to Jeremy Sossei for winning stop # 13 and to Justin Muller for winning the BCD event. Big congratulations to Teddy Cook for finishing in the money at 9th-12th place and Erin McManus for winning the highest finishing C/D. Teddy Cook forfeited his highest finishing C/D prize by finishing in the money. Great shooting!
I am very proud to announce stop #14 as the Seminole Tribe of Florida 2009 Empire State 9-Ball Championship which will be taking place this Saturday & Sunday September 12th-13th at Raxx Pool Room, Sports Bar & Grill in West Hempstead, NY and as always, we will be using the beautiful Delta-13 racks provided by www.delta-13.com. Please read through the BCD information below and the Attire Request!
NYCGrind.com will be covering the event & Go4Pool.net will be streaming the Matches LIVE from Raxx!!
This will be a $6,500 added event!
This is the first time our two tours have joined forces to create a tournament that will count as points towards both tours! I would like to personally thank the Seminole Tribe of Florida for adding $5,000 and Raxx owner and player Holden Chin for adding $1,500!
The champion of this event will make New York history and enjoy the continued recognition of their championship win with a banner placement bearing their name and year they've won. It will hang in Raxx Pool Room, Sports Bar and Grill for years to come.
I consider this a special event because when I was a teenager, I always read a lot about players that had won state championships. I always said to myself how great it would be to win a New York State Championship. Little did I know that a pool room in upstate New York had one for many years but I unfortunately discovered the tournament after it ceased to exist.
I've won two Ocean State Championships in my career and I can honestly say it was one of the best experiences I've encountered as a pro.
In our effort to spread the game of pool to as many rooms and areas as possible, we must manage the capacity limits of each room. We will be under extreme time constraints at some of the rooms and thus, on a stop by stop basis, we will have to adjust the races accordingly. With the expected turnout for this event, race adjust will inevitably be made.
We are expecting 90-100+ players for this event! The field for this tournament will be limited to 128 players. Since we expect a large turnout, we will close the field at 12 noon and start play at 12:30. I suggest that everyone get there by 11am or earlier to guarantee their spot.
B-C-D Players!
We are not sure if we will host a B-C-D event on Sunday, September 13 at Raxx. Given we don’t know how many players from the Open will come back on Sunday, we should have a better idea late Saturday night. Please feel free to call Tony Robles at 917-202-2750 or William Finnegan at 917-232-5069 late Saturday night for more information.
Very Important - Remember collared shirts required! No T-Shirts! We are requesting a more professional look for this particular tournament as it is the Empire State Championship. Slacks & Dress Shoes would be appreciated.
C/D Handicaps - The top finishing C/D handicap player will receive $100. (Note: Minimum 10 C/D players must participate in the tournament). Player must get past first 2 rounds. In the event of a tie, the fewest racks earned by the C/D's opponents will be the winner. Reporting scores to the tour director is the player's responsibility. Please be certain Finnegan records your score.
For the Ladies - Again, we will also be awarding the top finishing female an additional $100 so ladies, come out and represent! (Note: Minimum of 6 women must participate in the tournament. Not applicable to Top 10 ranked WPBA members. Women can only win the highest finishing female or highest finishing C/D. Not both).
Note: Finishing in the money, disqualifies a C/D and/or a female from receiving the highest finisher award.
Looking forward to seeing you all there!
Tony Robles
