Billiards Supplies Tips and Info.

I just found myself playing pool - billiards in the summer time, more than I did in the winter. I said I was going to slow down the pool playing a little and take some time off. Now I find myself playing more leagues than ever and my APA Masters team just one the city championship on Saturday.

This means I am headed for Las Vegas in August where we will play in the APA National Billiards Tournament.

I will be posting on the blog from time to time about how we do and so on. Our BCA nine ball league is in full swing and our team is just a couple of games out of first place and we are battleing hard.

The BCA Nationals 8 Ball Tournament is over.

I have been back home for over a week now. The tournament went OK. We were missing one of our best players and our team fell 1 match short of the money.

I played in a couple of mini tournaments between the team matches to loosen up and get in stroke. I finished 2nd in one of them, being beaten by one game from a player out of the Philippines.

We had a good time and played several matches and all is well.

I watched a few matches in the pro event and Ralph Soquet played an almost perfect game against the Lion. Dennis Ocollo then turned around an beat Ralph for the championship.

I am writing this post from my room in the Riviera Hotel and Casino, home of the National 8 Ball Championships. I am playing in the team event this year and we have a match coming up in approximately 2 hours and 13 minutes.

Other years this blog has been more active in the Eight Ball tournament reporting. This year I decided to focus on playing while we are in the tourney and writing about the results after the fact.

This is a great time and anyone who loves the game would have to agree that this is exciting. (At least I would think so)

We (My team mates and Myself) watched a session of the pros the other night. We saw some great action. Alison Fisher, John Schmidt, Alan Hopkins, Kim Davenport and Tony Drago were there just to name a few. A couple of us have VIP tickets for the finals Saturday night.
