“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.” T. Roosevelt

Any updates on who won Teams Level 1 and 2?
So, you got your ass kicked?

Thanks Jeff -- remind me to run up and kick you in the shin next time I see you.
We got double dipped -- last match came down to last game(s). It was fun to play, but the results just didn't happen. They played good and got some rolls and we didn't do either. Que sera sera.
QC Team - Startin from Scratch won the Open Level 1.
DM's DANG pool team was in second set of Level 2 Finals when we left. It was 3-4 or something but early in the match....
I will say that getting done at 10-ish and driving home last night SUCKED. Driving while tired is excruciating. We even stopped to switch three times. The ISPA needs to look at that a bit - start the team brackets on Friday afternoon / evening so you don't play out so late on Sunday. JMO
On another note -- it seems rather ironic that the best pool is getting played on Sunday afternoon / evening and NO ONE IS THERE!
They were seriously breaking down tables in the next row -- I felt bad I wasn't stacking chairs while i wasn't shooting to help the crew out. The venders were pulled out by Sunday AM. Goofy to me that it was over before it was over.
FWIW
Trust me, it sucked more driving home Saturday night after getting beat by a team that shouldn't even come close to beating you.....:banghead:
On a side note.... I dropped a bunch of cash at Jacoby's booth, so now I'm an exclusive Jacoby dealer. If anyone is in the market for anything from a custom order to one of the best jump cues made I can provide you with a great price on everything Jacoby makes.:thumbup:
Brother you are speaking the truth here. I got a speeding ticket at Newton and he was nice enough to knock it to 10 over. Some of us have to work Monday morning (730) and don't want to waste another vacation day because it gets done so late. I don't even care about the ticket really. If I didn't speed I might have had to pull off the road to nap.
Congrats to our team for getting 2nd. We didn't have our best game in finals and yes they did get some good rolls for sure. Still, we beat some real good teams to get there. Congrats to the other Des Moines teams who did well.
To the guy who clapped when Brad got hooked on his 8 ball in the last two games, I know you apologized afterwards and it is the heat of the moment, but that was not classy. None of our team clapped or cheered when the other team missed or got hooked and I thank them for that, we were very gratious in defeat.
I grew up in Newton and got stopped 25 times in high school...and never got a ticket! ture story.
And I have no tits!
World record beater, that's me.
Jeff Livingston
Sounds like a great tournement for everyone and congrats to all. I wish I could have been there.
Midwest this weekend.

Ya, I wish.... Thursday night a guy did buy the $9500 Egyptian themed one he had though. No, I only spent $3000ish.:wink: I have a couple of real nice customs, 6 or 8 jump cues and a handful of the new "Edge" performance shafts......and of course they are all for sale....:woot:
Thanks for the news. Congrats to you guys.

Maybe it was just me, but this year seemed like a really bad year for '$hitty' team behavior...:scratchhead:
A little decorum will go a long way. Gracious in victory and generous in defeat.:yeah:
I will say props to Jamie Bowman. He did some correcting IMMEDIATELY of the offending behavior. "We don't clap for bad, just for good" and he wasn't even on the team; just spectating some hometown guys. Moves him up a notch in my book. TAP, TAP, TAP.:clapping:
I used to think the level 1 Open was a fairly 'good' type of player and maybe 'above' the petty cheering of poor play - especially since I always thought Level 1's realize that its not the top of the ladder by any means. This year seemed to fly in the face of that...
I guess you can't teach class...:shrug:
Sorry Bruce That stinks. -- I probably would have speared him with a cue... :nono:
After one guy about had a coronary celebrating his open table 5 ball run after my failed RO; I merely commented, "First time playing pool?"
