I then lost 5-3 in the first set of the final match to Keene native, DJ Hopkins, and that was that.

Hey, way to go, Fred!

I have to ask though - were you wearing that sissy glove in the tournament?

Hey, way to go, Fred!

LOL!!! Yes I was! It is the summer afterall.

If I ever lose that glove, I don't know what I'll do.

The Sir Joseph ones aren't bad... I ordered a dozen from Meuller's at about $4.95 each. They aren't as fancy as yours though - it's a pity they stopped making them...

Congratulations Fred!

Be honest. Are you playing more safeties compared to a couple of years ago? Or just running more racks.

For this tournament, the tables were tight, so the safety game came up more. But, my opponent who I said wasn't matching my safety game turned to an all-offense strategy which helped him to win.

In the end, the two best runout players and the six best runouts players took the appropriate spots.

Nothing has changed. 8-ball is a run and gun game. The top players at the tournament will always be the ones who runout best.

Hey Rodney. I was thinking of you guys at this tournament. It would have been nice to have some other players from my area up there.

Fred

I haven't been playing much for a couple of years, but if you here of any other tournaments, just let me know, and most likely i can make it.

The city tournament at St. Joe's in fitchburg is usually short a few people. If you're interested i can probably get you in, but it's only in april. It's a very well run tourny. Ref's, shot clock, scheduled matches, and limited to 32. I'll let you know when it comes up.
