LMFAO!!!! Yeah...I designed the shirt with Dea's formating skills. Dea has has design skills I tell you. Dea was also a great help in making a non-word a word. The shirt would have never been a reality with out Dea...so props to her!!! Well day to is starting, so I gots to go watch some pool. :D

Richard you are here now??? Where??? Maybe I will get a chance to say hi! :)

Thanks for the kind words...*EVEN THOUGH* I should really kick both of your butts! LOL I think I still will actually...lol..beware! haha

Oh come on! You made the word, I just figured out the best way to spell it! Don't give me so much credit, ya nut(:
I had fun working on it, and anytime I need a good laugh, all I have to do is open up the file, haha.

Take care,
Dea
 
Melissa Herndon defeated Jennifer Barretta. I must add that this is the first match that I ever watched Melissa play. She has said before that she is very animated, and she did not lie. Everyone will enjoy seeing her play on ESPN in Jan. (form the Open.)

Kelly Fisher has just begun her match.

I wanna say Sarah Ellerby won against Vivian...last I was paying attention Sarah was on the hill.
 
Here are some updates.

Dawn Hopkins Beat Julie Kelly 9-4
Big Upset of the tournament today.

Jeanette Lee Beat Hsin Huang 9-5
Tough loss for Hsin. She will be playing on the B-side.

Jennifer Chen Beat Seaver 9-8
Jennifer was down 4-1, Seaver reached the hill first at 8-6, Jennifer came back 8-8. Seaver scratched on the 2 ball after the break and Jennifer ran out to win the match.

Vivian was playing Sarah Ellerby when I left and the score was 4-1 for Sarah.

Ask Sarah and she will point me out to you if you want to meet. I will be there tonight at 9pm.
 
Jennifer Baretta beat Helena last night while Dawn Hopkins was playing the last match of the night on the next table. It was a tough loss for Helena. Congrat to Jennifer Baretta, she will make her first TV appearance today.

Ms. Seaver has also made the TV round. I believe this is also her first TV appearance but I am not 100% sure.

Kelly Fisher also lost a tough match against Karen Corr hill hill. Karen made a very touch shot on the 8 ball to get to the 9 ball to win the match.

This tournament has a new format in which the final 16 players on the A-side play single knock out with the players from the B-side bracket after a draw. Some of the players who had never lost a match got knocked out of the tournament in this stage. The pressure was very intense last night.

Jennifer Chen actually played the same player, Ms. Seaver twice--Jennifer beat Ms. Seaver on the A-side, and then played her again right in her next match.

Jennifer Chen will go to Europe for the world championship right after this tournament. After the world championship, she will go back to Taiwan and start filming a TV series in China on National TV. She will play the role of a blind girl from a poor Chinese village in this love story.

Jack Justis and his wife, and Alan McGarty came on the first day of the tournament. Alan flew in after attending the tournament at the Hilton. I am sure more familiar faces will show up in the TV rounds today and tomorrow.

Steve is back on running the tour from day 1 and he is doing a great job as usual.

I will try to post more updates later.

Melissa Herndon beat JennBarretta and Monica Webb and will play Julie Kelly on ESPN. I will go out on a limb and predict Melissa will win that match.

JennBarretta plays Corr on ESPN


It's good to see Dawn Hopkins back on tv. She plays the Black Widow.
 
Thanx Richard for the updates, I have determined that I suck at it. :( It was nice meeting you. I have a few more pics that I will post later.

Landshark you did a very fine job!!!!!!!! We appreciate all of your input. Can't wait to see the pics you have post them soon please.
 
Oh yeah, just so everyone knows, because Karen Corr has been eliminated from the tourney, no matter if Allison wins or loses she will finish the year at #1.

I went over to the WPBA site and got lost. LOL Geez LS you don't have to feel bad about remembering stuff!! Thanks for the updates LS and all. This tournament is shaping up to be very interesting.

Under the highlights page at WPBA that look on Melissa's face is worth a thousand words. It wiil be great to see all the new faces on ESPN since I've seen few of them play. LS why didn't I win a trip to the tournament insead of that deserted island!! LOL

It was a pleasure meeting you, Sarah, and your better half ;) . Well, you have my card so feel free to e-mail me.
I am talking off now. The only match I watched was the one when Jennifer beat Karen. Jennifer was up 6-2 and ended up winning 7-6. What a match!
Hope to see you again.
Best wishes,
Richard
 
Thanx Richard, the pleasure was all mine. :D

For everyone, here are some terrible pics form the tourney!! I'll do this as individual posts so you know what you are looking at.

Here are some of Melissa Herndon at the ProAM...for some reason these are the best pool playing shots I have taken. My hand tends to shake, as I guess I am nervous thinking I will mess them up with whatever they are doing.

The first one is Melissa and Romana Dokovic.
The second is Melissa and the rack.
