Who's Going To Apa Nationals

I am going out for a week. Just playing the Masters and minis as well
as watching my buds play.
Nationals is always fun no matter what.

Congratulations to everyone that make it out to Las Vegas. Be prepared for lots of fun. I have been out there for several years now, but I still enjoy it a great deal.

We will be setting up a booth in the Mini-Mania room under the name "Omega Billiards". I hope to see and meet other AZers there.


Hey your raffle girl owes me. She told me if I bought her last 2 tickets in a raffle at last years team tourny she'd buy me dinner:mad:

:smile: Going. Team - Buzzed B's (from the B's Nest in Fall River, MA). Hope to see you guys there. Slop counts ? Yes, because a 3 has to compete with a 6 sometimes. The only rule that makes no sense to me is the 23 handicap limit. Bumping to 25 (5 5's can play) is such a problem ? Heck, even 24 wouldn't be bad. Opinions ??

Tim,

Did you play at Accu-Billiards to make it? If so, we made it on the same day at the same place.

Regards,
Koop
 
Yes, we played at Accu. Who did you beat on that Sunday ? You don't have a Hoppe Webb cue (coco), do you ? I thought I knew most of the teams who made it. Wasn't the $4800 fiasco something? I'm reading all these other teams who got all this extra cash to go and good old dave gives $500 to the losing teams ???? WTF????

I will certainly mention it to her.

Just to be certain, was it "she'd buy you dinner" or "you'd buy her dinner"? ;)

I know that she gets A LOT of offers for free dinners/drinks. Probably enough to last her for years. :D

LOL, that's me buddy. Yeah, that $500 is completely useless when you figure you're splitting it between 8 guys. Would have been better to just add it to the winners, I agree.

We beat a team out of Fall River I think? Brian B is the captain. A REALLY good 5 that recently went to a 6.
 
Oh no it was she'd take me out and buy me dinner. I already had a ticket and was waiting for the draw and she said if I bought the last to two tickets she'd buy me dinner so it wouldn't be like I was actually spending another $40 more like $20:cool:

We were knocked out in cities. That sucked. Anyway, if any of you want team-logo shirts for Vegas, hit me up. I'd like to get some exposure out there. I'll do the design for free.

For example, this is my APA team shirt:

Team name is Felt, from Washington, DC.

When I went to Vegas in 04 I tried to set up an AZB meet and greet at the Peppermill (Splash bar sucks), but only me and Dogginda9 showed up. Might be worth another shot this year.

Thats a great offer, we are getting shirts from from the pool hall that we play at (not with our team name on it though) and getting strokeit shirts. I'll ask everyone if they want team shirts also.

Do you just do the design and send it to me and I get the shirts made?

If you are serious, we could use some work. Can you do collared shirts ???
Turn around time ??

Didn't we talk ? U military HC with glasses ? Wife (and teammate ?) was a tallish brunette, short curly hair who kinda looked like that actor in Gilmore Girls series ? Am I remembering this correctly ? I recall you had quite the dogfight on Sunday in that last match!

Count me in..........again.
 
I went in 2006 with my 9-ball team from Huntington Beach, CA. It was a lot of fun and the competition was great, imo. We placed 9th overall out of 100+. This year I will be in Vegas for the Nationals but for a different reason.

August 15-23, I will be there demonstrating The Laser Rack, booth "S" in the Pool Emporium. Please stop by and say hello. I'd like to meet more AZB'ers and put faces to the screen names. :)

See ya there!

Holy crap, that was you? Small world man.
Yeah, I was playing real good and somehow he got to the hill before me. I ran the last two for the win but he pushed it closer than I liked.
My wife was actually the one who won the double hill set to propel us to Vegas.

We definitely need to hook up in Vegas for a drink. After the matches of course :-)
 
That'll do fine. I'll pm you a cell. BTW, I am very jealous. A dead ringer for the immortal Earl Anthony (of bowling fame), as you get older, you'll get better looking, just like Earl. Dangnabbit! See you out there Koop.

Shoot me that number and we can definitely hook up out there.

Cory,

Drop me a PM, I'd love to meet up with you guys.

I'll be there. Come stop by the PoolTees booth in the mini-mania tournament room and say hi.

Sounds like we can get more than 2 this time around. I'll post a new thread as the time draws closer, maybe around the 14th.

Any ideas for times? My thinking is that matches are at 1:00 and 6:00, so a 5:00 meeting would let people come after their 1:00 match or before their 6:00 match. I'm a big fan of Peppermill, but I'm open to other ideas (but not Splash bar).
