How to claim your prizes
The Grand Prize winner is The King.
You get to choose a J.Flowers case in any size and color, with your name tooled onto the back if you like. There are two design patterns to choose from - the flower design shown below on top or the cigar design shown below.
You can also choose to have the Ultra-Padded interior or the Tube Style.

The winner of the random draw is Cocobolo Cowboy. Quite fitting as he is arguably a huge cue case fan in general.
Cocobolo Cowboy, you get to own the first ever 1x2 J.Flowers case that we make. As above you can choose the color, pattern and whether it should be tooled with your name or not. You can also choose the interior, tubes or Ultra Padded.
These are the cases that the runners up have to choose from:
These cases are part of a new line that we debuted at the BCA trade show in June. They enjoyed a great reaction there and now they are about to hit the market in time for Christmas.
These are original John Barton design. These cases were a year in the making starting with more than 8 months of development time on the interior alone. Each one has the JB Organic Rebound interior that I have been delivering on JB Cases for several months now. I thought it fitting to show off the newest design and what has taken a year to create alongside my tribute to Jay Flowers.
I hope that you like them.
You can choose any of the three sizes listed.

So, please choose your case and give me your address. The case will be delivered as soon as they reach the USA. With the exception of Anito Kid, yours I will send from China to you directly.
For those interested in such things, the value of the prizes is as follows;
The King's case is worth $250-$450 depending on what he chooses.
Cocobolo Cowboy's case is worth about $250-$300 depending the options he chooses.
The Wave cases given to the runner up winners are worth $125-$150 depending on the size chosen.
How the winners were chosen: I recruited my friends and family who have nothing to do with pool to read the entries and vote on them. After we tallied the votes and argued a little we reached a consensus and that's how it went. I was going to recruit my friends on AZ but several of them joined the contest so it was a conflict of interest.
Lastly, I have decided also to give a Wave Case to the AZ Pro Player fund to be sold or auctioned.
Once again thank you for playing. Got to get busy on all these free cases
