Diamond Jim’s APA (American Pool Players Association) Masters team took first place in the National qualifier pool tournament the week end of June 7th and 8th 2008. Our team won $3,000.00 in cash and an entry into the Las Vegas Masters tournament August 18th 2008.
The match was tight and it came down to the last ball. Mike played our last match and managed to pocket the final nine ball barely missing the cue ball scratch on the last game. This final shot made us the Champions of this Billiards tournament and set us up with a pile of cash and secured our entry into the Vegas pool tournament.

We had our second week of 9 ball billiards action last night in Pueblo Colorado. Our team (Diamond Jim’s) matched up with the Classic Cue 1. This was a tough match and our team pulled it out with the score of 19 to 16.
We enjoy the summer pool league and nine ball is much more fast paced than eight ball which is the game we play all winter.

I skipped the first match last week but I was present and accounted for last night. The first week of play for me is always a shock because it doesn’t seem natural to start playing pool league while the sun is still shining. We start the match at 7 PM in the winter for 8 ball and in the summer for 9 ball. During the fall and winter, it is already dark here in southern Colorado by 7 PM.
