Turning Stone Classic IX - $25,000 ADDED – August 16-19, 2007

[pushinfaders]

Can we see a complete list soon Dana?

 

[juegabillar]

Thanks Harold.., someday I hope to see names like Alan Rolon, Efrai*n Morales, Edgardo Ramirez and other great players from the Puerto Rican contingent on that list!

Who knows; however, Efrain Morales is retired, Alan is semi-retired, and Ramirez is still around....

oh.... but there is a good new contingent that will hopefull make it in the near future......

 

[JAM]

I don't know how many spectators actually had drinks during the matches..
To be honest, I never paid much attention to it..

We will see what the future holds for that..

But then again..Look at all the great players coming to this..

I think it is going to be better than ever this year. I think the alcohol drinkers are in the minority as far as tournament-goers, and I can think of only one pool player who drinks during competition at Turning Stone Casino -- well, maybe two!

hey Jam...

Tell Keith Ted says "Hi"

Please send Ted our regards. The whole staff at the Turning Stone Casino gives everyone first-class service. The rooms are so comfy and clean. Ted, in particular, makes Keith's visit fun and enjoyable, and I know Keith appreciates it very much. Ted is 'da man!

Of course, Team McCready appreciates Victor as well. He treats us like we're royalty, and everybody at the Turning Stone seems to welcome the pool players whenever they compete at the Joss Northeast 9-Ball Tour event. Every player I know likes going to a pool tournament at the Turning Stone!

Thanks, Tony. Keith sends his regards. Good luck with the StrokeIt booth. I think you will see many pool enthusiasts and fans at Turning Stone who will enjoy seeing your wares. Clothing is always something that I tend to go towards when I am at a pool event.

Good luck to you. This looks like a good field of players. Get plenty of rest, and I wish you a great tournament! The payouts are paid in cash there, too!

JAM

P.S. BTW, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, TONY!

It sounds like Mike had really "stacked the deck" for the tourney..

It should prove to be quite interesting.
Every year there is a few surprises..

Some one you expect to do well...falters early..

and some one that you didn't consider..does really well..

It looks like I'll have my work cut out for me with the camera..so many good player to capture.

I do feel like my skills have improved since the last event, so hopefully, I'll shoot better pictures.

I have never seen such a collection of beautiful photographs. I really mean this. These photos are phenomenal. I looked at just a few of the groupings and was amazed. Pool is cool, but I truly enjoyed the others just a much. Thank you for sharing these.

This tournament will be well captured with your eyes. I can't wait to see them. Thanks!
