That's the dirtiest word I ever heard...
I had planned to be there, but that disgusting four letter word (work) got in the way. Gotta work all weekend. {sigh}
Isn't that always the way.

Ray wins the challenge! I'll admit I was humbled last night! 
We played 10-ball, race to 6 first.
Ray wins the lag!
I ran it up to an almost straight in 10-ball and then proceeded to dog it. It was downhill from there for me. I also left a 10-ball jawed. Ray made a 9-ball and scratched 3-rails to give me one as well. At 5-4, I broke and left the 10-ball near a corner pocket. It went back and forth a bit before Ray was left safe on the 1-ball... and Ray proceeded to jump it, hit the 1-ball and run his cueball uptable for a double-kiss on the 10-ball to win the first set!
I picked One Pocket race to 3 next... figuring I had the nuts in this game. I won the first game and got up 4 balls or so in the second. With a medium long straight in shot on the 5-ball, I miscued leaving Ray a wide array of shots. I think he got 5-6 or 6 balls from there and I never recovered. Ray shot well in the games afterwards, making many banks and showing no fear. In the last game, I had another unfortunate miscue which might have turned the game as well, but it may not have mattered. Ray won the second set 3-1!
We also played a race to 2 in short rack banks... guess who won? Yep, Ray did!
Congratulations to Ray on a well-played evening of ping-pong, pool and flipping coins! $100 will go towards a worthy cause.
I got ran over by a Big Truck!
Ray should have bought a lottery ticket last night... or at least entered a Chow Yun Fat look-alike contest vs. me. I know he would have won!

Help
Sometimes it helps to get in a little action the night before!
I have to commend the Billiard Den folks, Larry & Marci Rothberg, for their continuous improvement efforts. The a/c was blasting cool air the entire event. The service was still lacking, but seemed a little better than in the past.
Thanks again to everyone for coming out and having a little fun!!

Good to see you Juan! If we had played even, I'm sure you would have won! Ray must have moved me down a rating after he kicked my @$$ on Friday.
Thanks to Ray and the The Billiard Den for hosting such a nice event. Diamond tables are still a little tough for me, but they play great!
It was great to see so many familiar faces!

Ratings
One thing I really liked about the way we did the ratings was, after the computer suggested the spot we were able to make judgements with the 3 tier system.
Thanks should go out to Big Doc for assisting!! Without him, things would've been crazy!!!
Thanks Doc!!!
