Speaking of Mr. Putnam

I just saw that Shawn got the spot on the Mosconi Cup...
Congratulations Big Guy - and yes, even though the players won't miss the competition, we'll miss having you there.

Thanks everyone for the notification! It was a big surprise to make the list, I thought I missed my chance. And Shawn, let's not bring the helicopter, OK? You can skip one of these and leave it for us "little" guys

I will see you all out there manana. It's a long drive, but hopefully I'll get more than 5 hours sleep and be ready for the big ring game! I suck at ring games, but I won't say that 'cause Timberly will make some smart comment about "confidence" and the effect of statements like that on my play...

I've got to stop talking to you people... you're starting to get to know me too well!

Ya'll have fun. I've got to work tomorrow so I won't be able to make it out there. Besides, I need a break from driving....Cambridge, Chesapeake, Cambridge is a little much for me anyway.

Good luck to everyone in Cambridge this wkend!

I'm back I did manage to win 5 games this time, and that kept me alive for awhile. When I left 2 hours ago, there were 12 people left. Shawn Wilke, Jim Parks, and Brandon Shuff were all stringing wins together in the 10 ball ring game, and seemed to be leading the pack in chip-count. It was a strong, but small field (around 22 from my group [the 9-ball tour ranked players]). They'll finish up tonight, so we might hear the results in a couple hours if Andy, Nick, or Ceci have internet access.

Hey Beetle,

You had some really good shots this weekend. It sure was a tough format. I didn't think I played that badly but only won 3 games. The second round I had 3 shots in 8 games and only one with any real chance. Shaun Wilkie was in both of my groups which didn't help.

Both events finished around 9:30 with the "ante" at 40 chips.

8 ball tour
----------
1st Josh Brothers
2nd Stacey Sudler
3rd Jim Parker
4th Brandon Shuff
5th Trevor Dentz
6th Michael Moran
7th Thuan Bui
8th Steve Luskey

9 ball tour
----------
1st Shaun Wilkie
2nd Brett Stottlemyer
3rd Nick Prinsloo
4th Walter Koch
5th Chris Comstock
6/7th Kevin West, Jeremy Montgomery both eliminated on one 10 ball break
8th Joe Cataldi

The event was well received so look for more of this format in the future.

Yeah, I think everyone had a great time. Thanks to everyone for organizing it. I did have a few good outs, and a few opportunities to take the early 10 ball off caroms that thankfully didn't hang up. However, I'm still hurting after I sized up perfectly a bank into a table length combination on the 10 that went right in! Unfortunately, I also scratched...

No need for the sad the face, I think you did a great job. Sounds like you had some jam up shots along the way but a couple of bad rolls to follow. The biggest thing is.... did you have fun???

Yep, I (almost) always have fun! It's more fun to get into the money, but it feels good to have hung with the pack for as long as I did. The last ring game tournament I played in I didn't win a single game!!!

Beetle,

I have a memory of the ring game event that still makes me smile. I was watching from the door and you had just won a game in the second or third round. Watching you collect poker chips being thrown on the table from (I think) Shaun Wilkie, Kevin West and Jeremy Montgomery! Priceless!

Thanks for that memory! I believe that was the first game win of the 3rd round. Shaun Wilkie, Joe Cataldi, and Jeremy Montgomery were on my table. It felt fantastic to run out after the 2 or 3 ball for the win with those greats looking on!
