First of all, we would like to thank our sponsors, without whom, we would not get the opportunity to see all this great 14.1

Diamond Billiards, Simonis Cloth, Aramith Balls, Bob Jewett, Stu Mattana, Rich Klein, and Stan Haines.

I probably do not have to mention one of the hardest working men in show business, Bill Maropulos, who does a lot of the heavy lifting and guides us through some tricky situations, when needed. Dana Stephenson, as always, provides all of the video support. All we need to do is remember to turn on and off the cameras which sometimes we do. Stan Haines in addition to his monetary support gave us many many hours of his time and helped things run smoothly. Rich Klein was not able to come this year but he was there in spirit. We certainly missed him.
Edgar (or Bernard) Schuck was always ready to lend a hand. We had some help from three new guys scoring this year, Boyd Porter-Reynolds, Ned Reddick, and Kim "I forgot your last name but you play in a league with Bob Jewett". Thanks for all your help. We were going non stop from 9 am until about 2 am all 4 days of the qualifiers and lunch breaks were a luxury we could not always afford. The extra volunteers helped us get a little breathing space.
