There is a tournament scheduled for the Bicycle Club between the 6th & 11th of Jan in the L.A. area. Anyone out there know who is scheduled to appear or what vendors are supposed to be in attendance? I was told that Efren has already confirmed. Just curious as I plan on going no matter what as it has been forever since they had a major in this area.
L.A. Tourney
- Thread starter Gerald
- Start date
Efren is coming.
Expect Parica, Paez and Dominguez as well.

It's the UPA Tour Championship - it's a terrific field. Here's the web site info.

I checked with the Bicycle Club - tickets are sold at the door only. I suggest callng them for seating times.

This field should be worth watching!(From the UPA web site):

(Also see the above players in Las Vegas at the MGM Grand for the 2003 Mosconi Cup in USA versus Europe team event filmed live on TV around the world Dec 18-21 and re-shown on ESPN at the end of Dec )
This event will also have several top international players including:

There will also be a strong cast of local LA and California players such as national ranked pros like Jose Parica, Morro Paez, Tang Hoa, Ernesto Dominguez, and Dave Hemmah.
How's that???

Thanks for all of the info! I imagine that they will probably go to Hardtimes at least they did 8 yrs ago. By the way , Hardtimes has a 1 hole tournament Sat (sombody said that the entry was $350.00?) followed by their 1st Sunday of the month tournament that consistantly draws 90+ players. Then the Bicycle Club tournament starts! Pool Heaven!!
Ah...the pool world at it's finest....
Who knew about this tourney , how long ago?
It's pretty hard to get decent priced airline tickets at the last minute to go to an event.
One good event in the LA area and that's all.
With an area like LA, there should be at least one or two more events scheduled near this date so the players and fans could save a few bucks and fill up on pool!

Wher is this bibycle club??I only live an hour and a half from L.A.
Raphael Martinez won a few hundred $ winning the Hard Times one hole tourney - he beat King Kong in the finals. They both passed up the Pechauer Tourney at the Break Zone also being playede on Saturday. Santos was there at the Hard Times also.
Paul Poitier from Canada and Tony Annigoni are vistors here to the Break Zone (Torrance, CA) Tourney and may also play at the Bicycle Club.
Many of those knocked out of the Break Zone Saturday will probably play at the Hard Times $1,000.00 added Sunday 9 ball tourney today.
There used to be an annual Bicycle Club, LA Open, and Hard Times Tourneys that drew the top 32 men and women to the LA area but when the no smoking law was passed several years ago - it all but dried up.

Thanks TATE! I'll check it out.
The Bicycle Club is right off the Florence Ave. offramp and the 710 (Long Beach Frwy) Freeway. You can't miss it from the freeway. I did't know about the event until a couple of weeks ago. The 1 pocket match between Santos and Rafael , at Hardtimes, was a
great match to watch!! Their strokes and ball speed control were really something to watch. Santos was shooting with a gorgeous Purpleheart and ivory cue, I was told that it was a Southwest. It was as pretty as his stroke.

Gerald, Santos shoots with a Paul Drexler.
Curly purpleheart forearm with stunning ivory inlays.
Hits like a dream. He's been offered 6K for that cue.
Drexler is one fine cuemaker and very very generous with his knowledge.

For posting on a EIGHTEEN YEAR old thread maybe???
I wasn't aware that was a ban-able offense.
