Chris,

We have at least 3 USBA directors at this tournament. Why would anyone want to keep our members or anyone one interested in a USBA Tour Event informed or give updates.

Your expectations are way to high.
 
I called Merrill Hughes, USBA board member, who drove to MGM to gather some intel. He called back while driving home on the Long Island Expressway. The connection was bad and the traffic drowned out much of what he said. He spoke in clipped sentences but in a calm voice, like Murrow in London as the bombs fell. I pass on what I can.

He said that Pedro Piedrabuena is now playing Michael Kang in the finals. Pedro had not suffered a loss throughout the tournament, and Michael had just one. Miguel Torres faces off against Sonny Cho for third place. Other finalists included Mazin Shooni, Hugo Patino and Jim Shovak.

Merrill hopes to have complete charts up on his Face Book page later this evening or early tomorrow. Look for the Three Cushion Players group on "Merrill Hughes" Face Book. If he sends me any more info, I'll pass it on.
 
Thanks for the update, Andy!

And woohoo for Shovak!!
