This Tournament is changing its name and adding more dates for 2008.
I got this off the BCAPL site and some of the details for the 2008 season are contained in the story
The Texas Open Players Tour, soon to be known as Southwest Amateur Tournaments, hosted their Texas Open II at the Amarillo Convention Center in Amarillo, TX, Nov 2-4th.
Playing under The Southwest Eight Ball League and BCA Pool League rules, 88 players in all drove from as far afield as Colorado and Oklahoma to compete. And let's not forget Texas. San Antonio, Austin, Odessa, Dallas-Ft Worth were well represented as 20 Scotch double teams, 22 women and 64 Men played their hearts out on the Diamond 7? Smart Tables decked with Simonis 860 Tournament Blue cloth. Tight, Pro cut 4-1/2? pockets and Red Circle cue balls with Super Aramith Pro balls comprised the best equipment in tournament play today. The new BCAPL table lights, complete with scoring beads, kept track of the action.
Men?s division-Matt Valdez of Colorado made it worth the visit as he conquered Dallas' Clay Renfro in the finals from a field of 64 men. Jim Ryan, also from the Dallas The Southwest Eight Ball League, welcomed third.
Women?s division--Our congratulations to Nina Stillwell from the Metro Pool League of Arlington, Twila Horne from Odessa/Permian Basin Pool Players League, and Kellie Beard from the Amarillo Lone Star Eightball League who finished first thru third.
Up coming events at the E-Center in Harker Heights, TX next year will add two new divisions -- MASTERS and SENIORS. Dates are slated for Feb. 8-10th, July 18-20th, Oct. 17-19th, and a 9-ball event, Nov. 27-29.
