Alex Pagulayan won the one pocket tournament last year making him the only player in history to ever win all 3 discipline plus master of the table.

AtLarge...Maybe I'm missing something, but my math says that if the first year was 1999, and this is 2016, that would make this the 18th year, not the 15th. Were some years skipped?

On a couple of streamed matches at the Derby City Classic this year, the commentators were discussing, with some uncertainty, whether any player had won all 3 of the primary events at any time in the DCC's history (not all in the same year).

Since the DCC website lists all past winners, this was easy to check, and here's what I found.

This was the 15th year of the DCC. The 3 disciplines or events I am talking about are 9-Ball Banks (B), 1-Pocket (1P), and 9-Ball (9B). So I am excluding things like ring games and the recently started invitational 10-ball, as well as the All-Around Champion. The total number of events being discussed here, therefore, is 45 (15 x 3). Sixteen players have won a single event and 10 players have accounted for the other 29 events by winning 2 or more. The 10 multiple-event winners are as follows:

Players who have won 2 events:
  • Brumback -- 2009 (B) and 2010 (B)
  • Miller -- 2004 (B) and 2006 (B)
  • Pagulayan -- 2011 (B) and 2013 (9B)
  • Price -- 2002 (B) and 2008 (B)
  • Parica -- 2001 (B) and 2003 (1P)
  • Varner -- 1999 (B) and 2000 (1P)

Players who have won 3 events:
  • Daulton -- 2000 (B), 2001 (9B), and 2003 (9B)
  • Souquet -- 2004 (9B), 2006 (9B), and 2008 (9B)

Player who has won 4 events:
  • Van Boening -- 2009 (9B), 2011 (1P), 2012 (1P & 9B)

Player who has won 7 events:
  • Reyes -- 1999 (1P), 2004 (1P), 2005 (1P & 9B), 2006 (1P), 2007 (1P), 2010 (9B)

Of the 10 multiple-event winners, 4 players (Brumback, Miller, Price, and Souquet) won all of their titles in the same discipline. Six players have won titles in 2 of the 3 disciplines. No one has won titles in all 3 disciplines.

With the 2016 event now in the books, here's an update on multiple-event winners at the DCC.

The 3 disciplines or events I am talking about are 9-Ball Banks (B), 1-Pocket (1P), and 9-Ball (9B). So I am excluding things like ring games, 14.1, and the invitational 10-ball, as well as the All-Around Champion. The total number of events being discussed here, therefore, is 54 (18 years x 3 per year). Sixteen players have won a single event and 11 players have accounted for the other 38 events by winning 2 or more. The 11 multiple-event winners are as follows:

Five players have won 2 events:
  • Jason Miller -- 2004 (B) and 2006 (B)
  • Dennis Orcollo -- 2011(9B) and 2014 (B)
  • Larry Price -- 2002 (B) and 2008 (B)
  • Jose Parica -- 2001 (B) and 2003 (1P)
  • Nick Varner -- 1999 (B) and 2000 (1P)

Two players have won 3 events:
  • John Brumback -- 2009 (B), 2010 (B), and 2016 (B)
  • Ralf Souquet -- 2004 (9B), 2006 (9B), and 2008 (9B)

Two players have won 4 events:
  • Shannon Daulton -- 2000 (B), 2001 (9B), 2003 (9B), and 2015 (B)
  • Alex Pagulayan -- 2011 (B), 2013 (9B), 2015 (1P), and 2016 (1P)

One player has won 6 events:
  • Shane Van Boening -- 2009 (9B), 2011 (1P), 2012 (1P & 9B), and 2014 (9B), and 2016 (9B)

One player has won 8 events:
  • Efren Reyes -- 1999 (1P), 2004 (1P), 2005 (1P & 9B), 2006 (1P), 2007 (1P), 2010 (9B), and 2014 (1P)

Of the 11 multiple-event winners, four players (Brumback, Miller, Price, and Souquet) won all of their titles in the same discipline. Six players -- Daulton, Orcollo, Parica, Reyes, Van Boening, and Varner -- have won titles in 2 of the 3 disciplines. Only one player, Pagulayan, has won titles in all 3 disciplines. Only Reyes and Van Boening have won two events in the same year.

Shane won the 9B in 2016, too lazy to check if that was a typo on the years or an omission making it 7 titles for Shane.

gr. Dave

it is a typo but on the year, he meant to put 2016 instead of 2015 because Warren Kiamco won the 9ball in 2015, so it's correct in that Shane has won 6 events

I have corrected the typo on Shane's latest win. Thanks to those who let me know.

Another way of looking at the possibility of a Triple Winner is "What player has to win which event?"

Pagulayan needs One-pocket
Parica needs 9-ball
Varner needs 9-ball
Daulton needs One-pocket
Van Boening needs Banks
Reyes needs Banks

My impression is that Parica, Varner and Reyes are no longer competing in the events they need. That leaves Pagulayan, Daulton and Van Boening.

Which one has the best odds of winning in his needed event?

Tough call.

Efren plays in all 3 events. Came in 12th this year out of 475.

Yes, but Orcullo has won 9-ball, 10-ball, 14.1, banks and has two top 5 finishes in one pocket. Almost a clean sweep

SVB almost won all three events at one Derby. He was 2nd in the bank pool, 1st in One Pocket, and 1st in 9 Ball.Until last year, no one had completed a career grand slam at the Derby until Alex won the one pocket in 2015.

With the 2017 event now in the books, here's an update on the event winners at the DCC.

The 3 disciplines or events considered here are 9-Ball Banks (B), 1-Pocket (1P), and 9-Ball (9B) -- the 3 events that are used to determine the All-Around Champion. So I am excluding things like ring games, 14.1, and the invitational 10-ball, as well as the actual All-Around Champion. The total number of events being discussed here, therefore, is 57 (19 years x 3 per year). Sixteen players have won a single event and 12 players have accounted for the other 41 events by winning 2 or more. The winners of the 57 events are as follows:

Sixteen players have won 1 event:
Troy Frank -- 1999 (9B)
George San Souci -- 2000 (9B)
Buddy Hall -- 2001 (1P)
Cliff Joyner -- 2002 (1P)
Mika Immonen -- 2002 (9B)
Danny Harriman -- 2003 (B)
Dave Matlock -- 2005 (B)
Stevie Moore -- 2007 (B)
Niels Feijen -- 2007 (9B)
Gabe Owen -- 2008 (1P)
John Schmidt -- 2009 (1P)
Scott Frost -- 2010 (1P)
John Morra -- 2012 (B)
Corey Deuel -- 2013 (1P)
Warren Kiamco -- 2015 (9B)
Billy Thorpe -- 2017 (1P)​

Five players have won 2 events:
Jason Miller -- 2004 (B) and 2006 (B)
Larry Price -- 2002 (B) and 2008 (B)
Jose Parica -- 2001 (B) and 2003 (1P)
Nick Varner -- 1999 (B) and 2000 (1P)
Francisco Bustamante -- 2013 (B) and 2017 (B)​

Three players have won 3 events:
John Brumback -- 2009 (B), 2010 (B), and 2016 (B)
Ralf Souquet -- 2004 (9B), 2006 (9B), and 2008 (9B)
Dennis Orcollo -- 2011 (9B), 2014 (B), and 2017 (9B)​

Two players have won 4 events:
Shannon Daulton -- 2000 (B), 2001 (9B), 2003 (9B), and 2015 (B)
Alex Pagulayan -- 2011 (B), 2013 (9B), 2015 (1P), and 2016 (1P)​

One player has won 6 events:
Shane Van Boening -- 2009 (9B), 2011 (1P), 2012 (1P & 9B), and 2014 (9B), and 2016 (9B)​

One player has won 8 events:
Efren Reyes -- 1999 (1P), 2004 (1P), 2005 (1P & 9B), 2006 (1P), 2007 (1P), 2010 (9B), and 2014 (1P)​

Of the 12 multiple-event winners:
• Five players (Brumback, Miller, Price, Souquet, and Bustamante) won all of their titles in the same discipline;
• Six players -- Daulton, Orcollo, Parica, Reyes, Van Boening, and Varner -- have won titles in 2 of the 3 disciplines;
• Only one player, Pagulayan, has won titles in all 3 disciplines; and
• Only Reyes and Van Boening have won two events in the same year.

Nick Varner was the king of multi-discipline world titles in his day.
These figures show, to me, who was the king in his day...Efren.
Who is going to be the next?...my money is on the guy in my sig line.

Thanx, AtLarge, for your work....I read all your posts.

You made that tag line prediction four years ago, and I missed it last year when he did it.

My biggest surprises in looking over the list of DCC winners were that:
  • Bustamante was winless until this year;
  • Immonen has won only one event (9-ball in 2002); and
  • Daulton has won 3 times, but never in what many people consider to be his best game (1-pocket).

I think if I had to pick the guy who will be first to hold a title in all three disciplines, I'd pick Daulton.

But...SVB is the closest to winning the triple crown by coming within one game of winning the banks, thus sweeping the DCC.
