Well let me start out by saying i was robbed bye Jose Burgos and his phony blaze 9 ball tour. I went to Comet billiards on Sunday for the 9 ball event. and saw the laptop computer that Jose uses for the draw by itself, I went over with Jonathan Smith to look at the draw and I saw I was playing trick shot champion Steve Lilis from New
Jersey in the first round. I went to practice as the matches were called they called out Frankie Hernandez and Carmen Lombardo I said wait a minute that's wrong!!! So I went to the tournament desk and told Jose I was playing Steve Lilis not Carmen how was I switched? and his answer was I switched you I dont want two pro's playing each other first round. So my question was how come you didn't change me when i played Santos Sanbajon first round two tournaments ago? He said there were enough pro's there and I am the tornament director and I do what ever I want. I said what kind of nonsence excuse was that? They moved me so i could play Mike
Davis second round when I complained they moved me back. Every player that was there saw them fix the draw. I played two matches and went outside where I ran into Jose Burgos he said to me why are you dogging my tour? I said why are you fixing the draw? Then he said here's your money back I am disqualifying you. Then he went inside and told a worker to call the police that he wanted me off the property. The police came and the manager told the police I did nothing wrong I didn't have to leave. Jose disqualifyed me because I caught them fixing the draw and exposed his tour. He even put a very attractive female player in the tournament for free and set it up so he can play her first round. Now you tell me is that fixing the draw? I noticed every tournament I had a world class player first or second round. I was a few hundred points behind his friend Matt Krah for player of the year which earns you a free 5000 thousand dollar spot in the skins tournament. So they were setting up the draw so Matt could have easy matches and I could have tough matches where I can have a chance to lose early. By Jose disqualifying me on Sunday garanteed Matt the free entry to the skins game. Jose has a players auction where he buys players with his fixed draw. When all was said and done Sunday the police apoligized to me in front of about 10 people.Even the manager of Comet Billiards said Jose was dead wrong and he would talk to the owner about not hosting another one of Jose's fixed tournaments. and I say anyone who plays or host one of Jose's fixed draw events should have there head examined. This casts a shadow of doubt on all the tournaments has Jose has run in the past, including the Big Apple last year where there was $6,600 cut out of the prize fund. Which many players noticed and complained about. What Jose has done is put a dark cloud over our sport which is begining to see the light of day with the upcoming IPT Tour.
Truly,
Frankie Hernandez
