Players & Fans,
Congratulations to Stop # 13 Winners: Lukas Fracasso-Verner ($1,000 main event), Steve Edmiston ($300 second chance) & $1,800 Joss Cue Raffle Winner, Suad Kantarevic.
Stop # 14 of my Joss Northeast 9-Ball Tour's 2025/2026 season will take place at Utica Billiards on the Boulevard in Utica, NY on Sat. & Sun. March 7 & 8. This will be the second of three stops this season in this beautiful room owned by our good friend Andrea Duvall. Andrea has created a modern, bright and welcoming room featuring 10 Brunswick Gold Crowns, all covered in 860 Simonis ("The Cloth of Champions"), that will be used for our event. There is also a 10-ft billiard table, a 12-ft snooker table, a 9-ft tight pocket table, a ping-pong table, 5, 7-ft tables, darts, foosball and video games making for a varied and fun recreational experience for the family and entire community. There is a wide range of menu selections and snacks as well as a pro shop with a large array of billiard supplies, cues and cases. So come on down this weekend to compete or just watch another great tournament. Be sure to take a chance on winning a beautiful, $1,800 custom engraved Joss cue in the cue raffle. Anyone can participate and you do not have to be present to win! We will draw for the cue just prior to the finals of the main event on Sunday.
