Well I played a challenge match, a King of AZ challenge match with another forum member back2good1. In our state we have ratings from 4 to 10-2, Frost is the only 10-2 and Mitch Ellerman is the only 10-1 I believe. Me and back2good1 are both 8's making us B players.
We each pick a game, I chose one pocket which I won 4-2 and he chose bar table 8 ball and he wins 8-6. The decider is me and him write 2 games on a piece of paper and put it a pitcher and had the girl working in the poolroom pick a game out of it, he wrote 9 and 10 ball and I wrote 14.1 and banks, I wanted golf not 14.1 but he said it was not in the BCA rule book.
We end up playing 14.1 which neither of us really play. I am down 25 points at one time going to 100 which is a big margin playing someone who is equal and possibly a bit better. I get back in the game down a few balls but find myself trailing mainly because I was missing easy balls in open racks.
The score is 98-79 in his favor and I get to the table and run 21 and out! Even though the match was over I kept running balls and ended up with a run of 35 but got too straight on my break shot and the run ended, wished I got better on the break ball so I could have run 40 or 50.
My previous was 31 so I am glad to have played well and won, I cannot imagine how he felt sitting there thinking he had it all wrapped up waiting for me to miss but I did not. :smile:
