TEAM IRRESISTIBLE WINS ULTIMATE POOL PARTY
See Hohmann, Villareal and Williams on ESPN in September
Colorado Springs, Colorado: At the recent Billiard Congress of America [BCA) event in Baltimore, the trio of Thorsten Hohmann, Vivian Villarreal and Charlie Williams came away the winners of the promotional 8-Ball "Ultimate Pool Party". Early on in the taped-for-ESPN playoff, the threesome had dubbed themselves "Team Irresistible".
The "Irresistible force" squared off against early-round opponents "The Favorites" Johnny Archer, Karen Corr and Julie Kelly in the first scheduled semifinal. Elsewhere on the set, the remaining teams also adopted their own monikers, and in the second semi-final, the "Dream Team" of Corey Deuel, Jeanette Lee and Ralf Souquet advanced to the final with a win over "the Tag team" of Alison Fisher, Gerda Hofstatter and Tony Robles.
In front of packed studio audiences, all three of the team 8-ball playoffs were taped for later ESPN broadcast, on a set designed to look like a well-appointed home game room.
