Nice report SJM, who do you feel deserves a spot on the Mosconi team based on Derby?

SVB, Hall, Dechaine and Sossei all showed just how strong they are as competitors. All four of them would make the team if I were choosing it.
 
Like I mentioned in other threads you're the best of the best with your reports. I tried to foil your concentration when I visited with you but it didn't work, your great at multi tasking. Was a real pleasure sitting with you, hope to see you again.

Great report as usual...but if I had known I wouldn't have made it into it; I woulda gave you a shove down the escalator when I said, "hi". Kidding....

Thanks Billy. Enjoyed having you at my side for a few matches.
 
Stu, you nailed it again with all the highlights of a long nine days. You may be the Pool world's number one sweater! :thumbup:

Great seeing you again, Jay. Few will forget the performance Shane gave in the Bigfoot. Congrats on putting on such a memorable show!

Not sure if I can make it to the Super Billiards Expo but it is a chance. Assume you're referring to the Make it Happen 1-pocket in June. Not sure I can make that one either, but I'm sure our paths will cross one of these days. Until then, take care.

It was nice seeing you, Chris.

Can anybody fill in the blank? I never found out who won the 9-ball mini. Nick Vandenberg told me he came third, but I never got the final result.
 
Nicely done Stu! It was great to get to see you again! Sorry we couldn't play craps again. Marco Teutscher won the nine ball mini. Steve Flemming second and Nick Vanden Berg got third.

Ruben Bautista. Results are up now on the DCC website: http://www.dcctickets.com/

Edit -- Thank you Palmetto cue; I read 2nd place (Bautista) instead of 1st (Teutscher)!

Yeah, only made it to the casino twice in nine days and not for long. I'll update my post to include Marco.

It was nice seeing you.
 
You write good reports of your own Freddie! It was good to see you and meet Gideon. Always nice to enjoy a meal together! I saw Stu every single day, but never got a chance to break bread with him (well, I sorta did, since we were all at the HOF dinner...LOL)...maybe next year! I always enjoy his reports too! I'm going to make a concerted effort to come play on your new Diamond, when I get back home.

Thank you, SJM.

Someone complained in a thread that he wasn't seeing enough coverage.
I told him that I kept seeing SJM on the stream so just give him time to get home.

You delivered, sir.

Posted my trip report one day later than usual as I spent an extra day in the Louisville area. Anyway, glad you liked it.

Yup, Teutscher 1st (I had misread the list). But Bautista 2nd, Fleming 3rd, Van den Berg 4th. Are the mini's open to everyone? What time of day (or night) are they played?

Actually, the minis are single elimination, so Fleming and Vandenberg tied for third as losing semifinalists.

As the minis have as many as 64 players, they require the use of most of the roughly 40 nine foot tables used for the primary Derby events. Hence, the minis must be held after hours. They typically start between 11:00 and midnight and go into the wee hours of the morning.

Thanks. I see it's the same money -- 3rd/4th tie. Is everyone eligible to enter?
