$1,500 Entry Progressive Ring Game
The $1,500 Entry Ring Game was played Saturday Night following the first round of the 9-Ball Open. Several players either failed to show or withdrew for one reason or another and we ended up with four players and it lasted about 5 hours. The game values started at $50 per game and increased every 10 games or every hour which ever came first. The game value increments were: $50; $100; $250; $500; $1,00; and All-In. The shooting order was also redrawn every 10 games with the winner of the last game retaining the break.

Payout is the dollar and the number in brackets is the game the player went out on.

2nd or Last Man Out- Jonathan Hennessee, Manchester, TN - $2,000

I will make a separate post on this form that may help others avoid the problems we encountered with players failing to show for the ring game and to specify the procedures that we will use in the future.

Personally, I think most people thought it was a great weekend. There were some outstanding shots made, some good action matches, and many friends made. I look forward to the Fall Follies, in fact I am trying to nail down the date now. Hope to see you in the fall.
