Johnny at Kolby's LAST NIGHT Who went

[bfdlad]

Cowboy, I was put in a bit of a spot with this one and so I want to make sure that I can make it happen without being rushed. The next event is not 100% done yet. There are a few tournaments that players will be going to I believe and so it's a matter of timing. The next event is going to be good as long as it works out. It will be a challenge match between two top players in the sport. Like I said before I don't want to say yet until I know for sure that it will be on. HOWEVER it will be a really good one,

I'm thinking about putting a thread on here asking the Phoenix community who they want to see, what game, etc. Hopefully thats what I will do. What you guys think of that idea? Please let me know.

Think you did that.

How was the Archer Exibition?

How was the Frost v/s Archer Match, and who won?

How about an after action report?

I was there for half the Frost/Archer match and little afterwards. The match was played well. Scott got out to an early lead but then Johnny was able to claw his way back. Overall, the level of play was excellet, with both players getting out when they should have. Very few misses on both parties... Scott just had one or two more misses than Johnny and that was the difference.

I would have preferred to see them play winner breaks though. They played alternate breaks and that format prevents anyone from keeping control of the table. Although I guess the promoters were trying to make the game more even versus someone running away with it by stringing some racks together.

The table they were playing was not breaking well. Both players were unable to consistently make balls on the break. Archer tried both sides of the table, but it didn't matter. But he still does have an incredible break... a lot of power with fantastic cue ball control.

Nothing much seemed to be happening after the match as Johnny was suited up and ready to go after a few more one game challenges and some picture opps. I was hoping he would stick around to play, but it didn't seem he was interested. Maybe he had a flight to catch... not sure.

Thanks to the promoters of this event. It's nice to get some of these types of events in Phoenix. Hopefully, next will be some tournaments that can draw some of the top players to Phoenix.

Hi Ray, Thank you for your kind words. You are right the alternate break was to make it last a little longer and give people a show.

The owner and myself had a bit more than 100. I think 130 or something so not bad considering. Lenny did you get my email? Thank you again for your help.

Yeah i just went and read them smart ass,lol,yeah there was a good turnout and im sure the next one which will be bigger and even better will have more people.As for a challenge match i would like to see SVB as im sure many would.maybe against the last winner Rodney Morris.I think it would be awesome but the game would have to be something other then 10 ball because i think SVB is too strong of a favorite.

I could be 9 ball instead of 10 ball. I will have to take a look at film and see if either of them go with the soft break. Thats the reason we went with 10 ball. Maybe have them shoot out of the box. I think that would be worth seeing myself,

I think 8 ball would be interesting and a more even match,as for 9 ball neither soft breaks,they both hammer the balls.
