I got back rather late last night. But wanted to Thank the staff at Coonies for all their efforts this weekend. Rob's wife and I think he said his sister, went to local businesses and got them to sponsor this event. Part of the money raised was to benefit the local Big Brothers Big Sisters programs.
The tournament was an ABC rated event and had about 64 players in it. First place in the tourney alone was $1400. Not too bad for a $50 entry and they paid down 12 spots. Plus the auction, which I'm not sure what the payout was. But I think Jason Kirkwood sold for the highest at around $325. When I left last night, it was Brian Groce and Jason Kirkwood left on the A/B side and I didn't notice who was left on the C bracket.
I finished in 5/6th after losing to Jason in the finals of the winners side{on the A/B board} and then to Brian Groce in the finals on the loser side.
I suspect one of these 2 won the event, but if someone would let us know, it would be appreciated.
Today they have B/C tourney going, and a 10 ball ring game tourney on the 9 foot Gold Crowns. $100 entry and a 12 player limit. I'm not positive which players will play, I planned to but had to return home. My guess is Jason Kirkwood, Brian Groce, Steve Oaks, Brian Gregg, Jeff Beckley, Evert Snow, and it should be a prttey good tourney. If anyone happens to be close to there, it would be worth the trip to watch.
Thanks again to the staff, they all did a great job.
