The Dr. Cue Classic Artistic Cup III

Special thanks to Ray and All Sponsors!

Marty and I want to thank Ray Hansen, aka, Big Truck for his streaming expertise and ALL the "stream" and "event" sponsors. We are expecting a great response to our events thanks to these heartfelt media and donor support items.

The Cup III Pro-Am is a proven competition in which pros and amateurs play together in a golf course group format shooting the high make rate challenges on 7 foot tables for guaranteed prize funds.

Note: We have 9 champions in our Cup events -- 1 for each discipline (8 total) and 1 overall champion. In the past 2 Cup events 8 out of the 16 discipline champions have been amateur players, and one of the 2 overall champions has been an amateur; thereby, giving everyone the opportunity to win and grow the magnetic sport of artistic pool via the grass roots league and junior movements, along with the bonded support of the professional side of our sport.

The Cue-Dean-E International Talent Search is a "not to be missed" event with a direct focus on the "show" side of artistic pool. 8 audition finalists will compete on Saturday night doing comedy, magic, improvisation, billiard skill shots, and singing expression. This event is in honor and memory of Dr. Cue's best friend David Dean Edwards, who passed away several years ago from brain cancer. Anyone wanting to contribute to this special cause may do so by contacting us for donor information.

Everyone - pro and amateur alike, plus all of those in attendance watching will share in special moments in billiard history via this final tour stop for 2009.

We encourage anyone that wants to be a part of our events as player, fan, or sponsor to contact us via email -- drcue@artisticpool.org or by calling us at 765.760.7665.

Hope to see you at The Bank Shot Bar & Grill in Laurel soon...

Dr. Cue and Ms. Cue, Event Promoters and Tour Administrators
