Mike Zuglan's Joss Northeast 9-Ball Tour and Turning Stone Resort Casino are proud to present The $25,000 Added "Turning Stone Classic XXXVIII 9-Ball Open" on January 4-7, 2024. The beautiful and spacious Event Center at Turning Stone is most definitely one of the best arenas in the world. There is not a bad seat in the house and multiple matches can be viewed comfortably from everywhere. The intimate layout in this world class arena allows you to mingle with your favorite players and lets you feel like you are a part of the action as well. Turning Stone Resort Casino is a full-service resort with everything needed for a relaxing, fun filled and enjoyable experience. Check them out at www.turningstone.com .
This 38th Turning Stone Classic will once again have a full roster of 128 players competing for the title. The field will include a wide range of talent from our regular tour players to some of the best in the game. Currently, Jayson Shaw, Fedor Gorst, Johnny Archer, are scheduled to compete. These are just a few to be in attendance along with many other notable and not so notable but great players nonetheless. This promises to be yet another memorable event in our long running Turning Stone Classic series. If you would like to know if your favorite player will be here, please contact me directly at 518-356-7163 (no text).
Our $25,000 added "Turning Stone Classic XXXIX 9-Ball Open", Season Finale is scheduled for August 29-September 1, 2024. I will begin taking entries for that event in January at TS but not before. FYI, there is every reason to believe that the 2024 Season Finale will fill to capacity many months prior to the event, so seriously interested players need to sign up early to avoid being shut out. Our complete schedule can be found at www.joss9balltour.com .
Once again at Turning Stone there will be a second chance tournament on Sunday January 7th at 10AM. This is an event for those Non-Pro level players (I will decide) eliminated from the main event. The event format will be as follows: $60 Entry Fee - 32 Player Max - same rules as main event - Single Elimination - Races to 4, best 2 of 3 sets, with the deciding set being a single game sudden death. This means that if each player wins a race to 4, there will be a lag for the break and a 1 game playoff to determine the match winner. Entries will be taken for this tournament as players are eliminated from the main event and will be treated as first paid - first in until the event is full.
The equipment for our world class event will once again be 16 Diamond Smart Tables covered with 860 Simonis ("The Cloth Of Champions") tournament blue cloth. We be using the Aramith Tournament balls. Once again only the best equipment in the world will be used at our event!
As always, fans coming to Turning Stone for our event will be treated to Free Admission, Free collectible posters (while supplies last) and some of the best pool you will ever see. All of this is brought to you courtesy of Turning Stone Resort Casino and the Joss Northeast 9-Ball Tour!
Included in the Event Center at Turning Stone is a full-service snack bar serving all of our favorite foods and adult beverages. There will be billiard product vendors and on site cue repairs available for all your needs. Mike Burton of www.josscues.com will have a wide range of Joss Cues and Joss Northeast 9-Ball Tour Shirts. Andrea Duvall of Utica Billiards on The Boulevard will have her extensive cue, case and billiard supplies display. Mark Rosner will be on hand doing expert on site cue repairs. Feng Zhao of www.lite-systems.com will be there with his custom LED billiard lighting and other billiard products.
Debbie and Stephen Janes of Joss Cues, have once again provided us with two gorgeous, custom engraved Joss cues for raffle. These cues are valued at $1,500 Each and will be raffled off on Saturday just before the 8 PM matches, and the second will go on Sunday immediately prior to the final match at approximately 7 PM. Tickets for these beautiful cues will be on sale at TS throughout the event.
