Louie Roberts Award and J. Lee

Fred,

Based on your posts about the DCC and the action award, it sure seems like your swingin big time. And in this case swingin doesn't mean switching sides.

No consideration whatsoever. The award is completely separate from the tournaments. In years past, I believe that Scooter Goodman is the only winner of the Action Award that didn't play the tournaments. And, honestly I have no idea if Scooter played any of the tournament at all.

In case anyone was wondering, Jeanette played in the tournaments.

Jeanette

She's one tough nut!

I saw her give up 10-8 in a 1P match, race to 4. She drilled balls in from all over the table. She can fire lights out!
I want to say she won 4-2? Not sure what the bet was.

Regards,
Roy

The night after they agreeded to stop the first match, they played the game they had arranged. After the 8-hour time limit was up, Jeanette was 2 games up. They were supposed to play again later that night, but I had to leave town. Does anyone know if the second set went off and if so, any details?

Since you said PLEASE...

earlier in the thread, Cornerman, (Fred Agnir), mentioned that the winner should be announced sometime next week in a press release.
 
speaking of Ricky Byrd, I had read where he got kicked out of the DCC. Why was that, if anyone knows?

And what was up with him getting 8-6 from Scooter and losing so quickly? Did he only win 1 game in a race to 5 or 6?
 
The year that Chris Bartram won the Louie Roberts Award, he did not play in the main tournament at all. The idea of this award is to recognize the person created the most action and entertainment. This could be a player, a stake horse, or a sweater. It has no bearing on whether they won money or if they played in the main tournament.

Admittedly, this is a subjective judgement. However, each year we seem to get a consensus on who should win. Whether they played their matches in the TAR pit is also not important. There were plenty of tables available to match up on outside of the TAR room.

Jeanette played in the 9Ball Banks only this year.

One year I would have voted for Efren because he matched up in 9 Ball, One Pocket, chess, and 3 cushion billiards. Basically, if someone offered a match he agreed to play. In this case, I placed a higher value on the entertainment part of the award.

true the year i won i did not play 1 tourney.
 
Read it on some thread here in the main forum or the action room... will look for it later if someone else doesn't find it first. Or else, the drugs I took for all those years, before drug testing at work became the norm, is affecting me:grin:

I think you are forgetting the who the this award is named after?

1. Louie Roberts would have partners and backers make games for him as well make his own, with the ones he made often being the worst ones.

2. Louie Roberts would give and get weight depending on the situation.

3. Louie Roberts would play on anyone's money and even hocked his cue to like three people at once to keep playing.


Fred cleared this up but I want to say that Larry Price didn't HAVE to play. He could just as easily have told JL that he would play later, or he could have made a stipulation for a time window to get the match started in. The fact is that JL did show up and they played and she won. And EVERYONE is still talking about it - that's entertainment.

And what did she do? She made a game with Richie Rich right away and they teed off and then she got teed off and they MUTUALLY AGREED to do it the next night. Which they did and she PLAYED for 10 hours.

It's funny, when JL lost to Chris Gentile getting weight no one was on here complaining about a "hijacking spot". When she played Larry Price no one in the building wanted to bet on Jeannette. One guy on AZ even offered to bet 2k on Larry, and I don't think anyone took him up on it.

She played Larry twice, once ending up one game ahead after like six hours. Once winning after four hours. She played Tedder GIVING UP WEIGHT in a set for so much that no one could figure out how much was in action. That set was as exciting as any we have seen with two major swings in it and a dramatic conclusion.

So to me there is no way that she can't in the running here. I don't how it all works exactly but lets not forget that it's the PLAYER who provided the "action and entertainment" in honor of the great Louie Roberts. Louie would play on a corporation's money, he would pull people off the street and play on their money, he would of course play on his own money, but the main thing is that he, the player, was the ACTION and THE ENTERTAINMENT.

In fact, Billy Incardona, while commentating on the JL/Rich match was saying that Richie and a few other players had been in steady small action throughout the week and he didn't see why they didn't form corporations and get some bigger action happening.

Entertainment? What other player besides Efren has generated so many threads this DCC than Jeannette?
