The Mizerak Cup? If you're looking to name it after a late great champion of straight pool there you go. However, maybe it should be something that speaks more to the midwest roots of this challenge match.
Inter-City Challenge Match - Columbus vs. Indy
- Thread starter Williebetmore
- Start date
Well, it's on. This Saturday at Chalkies in Indy, matches start at 3 PM (I'm not sure there will be network coverage, so interested spectators should just plan on attending).
Indy team = Jeanette Lee, Jeff Beckley, Don Wardell, Bob Planalp.
Columbus team = Mike Thornton, ?, ?, and ?.
Good luck to the Columbus Ohio team - it should be a very nice competition.

I like the I-70 14.1 Challenge (Columbus vs. Indianapolis) -- has a ring to it and can be used else where, I-66 14.1 Challenge etc. Later on there could be the Interstate Championship between two cites that have "won" a challenge -- hey you might have something there.
If its a "team" thing then I would suggest total points as the deciding factor for the Challenge. This might include awards for high run, most fouls, and the list goes on.
Definitely need a cup that can be paraded around the room and stored for bragging rights. I’d keep it a little light. The seriousness will build. I vote for The Mizerak Cup.

Joe,
We have decided to kick in $50 per man, the cash goes to the winning team. Winner to be determined by # of match wins (with ball count as the tiebreaker).
We will have a high run prize of $20.
I hope to have the trophy ready by Saturday ("I-70 Straight Pool Challenge, C'bus, Ohio vs. Indianoplace").
We will have a door prize of a world famous "Joe W Portable Counter"; which was VERY GRACIOUSLY DONATED by the renowned JoeW. Many thanks.
I'll be coming by Chalkie's with a couple of friends tomorrow evening/night (we'll see when my tournament ends), see you there. Someone save a game of 14.1 for me.
mthornto: they ARE going to spot you a ball or two, aren't they? I mean, pro's vs. joe's is gonna want that footage.

Steev,
You are insulting them by suggesting a handicap. "They don't need no stinking handicap." I will apologize to them for your ridiculous idea...I hope they will forgive you.
P.S. - Now if they want to give us a bit of a spot, I'm not too proud to take it.
