MAX EBERLE WINS INAUGURAL CALIFORNIA POOL PLAYERS TOUR EVENT 
 
It was an exciting weekend in Mountain View, CA as California Billiard Club hosted the first stop on the California Pool Players Tour the weekend of June 12-13.  Forty-six players from as far as Grants Pass, Oregon, Fresno and Los Angeles came to compete for a share of the $3700 prize fund. 

 The dual bracket format had an even mix of Pro/A and B/C players racing to 7 in 9 ball.  The top 16 who returned on Sunday for a redrawn, mixed final money bracket were (A)J. Gregory vs (B)E. Urbano; (A)R. Mistica vs (A)M. Eberle; (B)T. Ansari vs (B)K. Koo; (A)A. Kang vs (B)E Ramos on the winners side, and (A)D. Alpajora vs (B)C. Robinson; (B)O. Perez vs (A)R. Aldana Jr; (A)B. Crockett vs (B)E. Diwa; (B)H. Spenea vs (A) J. Orque on the one loss side.

Deo Alpajora had a strong third place finish with wins over Changa Robinson, John Warren, Rylan Hartnett and Ramon Mistica, before falling to Amar Kang.

 In the end, Max Eberle of Los Angeles went undefeated with wins over Ed Ames, Ryan Long, Jaynard Orque, Jeff Gregory and Amar Kang for the hot seat.  Amar’s path included wins over Colin Mazaika, Bonnie Plowman, Robert Aldana and Ramon Mistica.

 In the final race to 9, Amar led early but Max was never too far behind.  He took control after Amar missed the 9 in game 12 and tied up the match at 6.  Max won the next 2 games to reach the hill.  Amar broke in game 15 but scratched.  They traded shots on the 4 until Max pocketed the ball and easily ran the rest of the table for the win.

 Said Max:  "The new California Pool Players Tour has a great format that will spark the participation of all levels of players in California. It's a great way for amateurs to have a fair shot at a strong finish, and for the stronger players to test themselves and win some decent prize money.  I plan on playing as many CPPT stops as possible!"

 Tour founders Vincent Paul Bramwell, LouAnne Laflamme and Christy Hawley extend their gratitude to California Billiard Club for hosting the first stop, to all the players who competed, and to all the fans who came to watch the action.  The Tour cannot be successful without you! 

 We’ll be back with more 9 ball next month at Break Time Billiards in Modesto on July 17-18.  Advance registration is being taken at our website  www.CaliPoolPlayersTour.com.  Southern Califoria Tour dates for this year will be announced soon - check our website or AZ Billiards for updates.  TAR will be live streaming all events, so make sure you sign up, stop by or tune in!

Barlow Wins the California Billiard Club Classic Snooker Tour Stop

A small but fervent band of snooker enthusiasts met on Saturday,
March 13th at the California Billiard Club in Mountain View,
California.  The event was sponsored by CBC with a very generous
$300 of added cash.  Aramith donated two sets of championship
snooker balls and the cloth on the tables was Strachan 6811, the
same all-wool napped cloth used in the world championships.

The eight players were grouped into two groups of four, with each
player in a group playing each of the other three.  Each match
consisted of three frames (racks) of snooker.  At the end of Saturday,
the Group A leaders were Andrew Barlow and Ajeya Prabhakar and the Group
B leaders were Bob Jewett and Chris Zhou.

On Sunday the 14th, the play changed to single elimination with
four players returning.  A1 played B2 and vice-versa.  In the
best of 3 matches, Barlow and Prabhakar dominated and both won
their matches 3-0.  The finals were a race to 4 and just as
lop-sided as Barlow white-washed Prabhakar.

On the way to his Tour victory, Andrew Barlow posted the high
break of 57 points on the very difficult 6-by-12-foot equipment.
This was worth $50 extra for the highest break prize.

Payouts were: 1. Andrew Barlow $225; 2. Ajeya Prabhakar $125;
3-4. Chris Zhou and Bob Jewett, $75 each.

This event was part of the US Snooker Association Tour.  For information

in Southern California, visit the USSA website at www.snookerusa.com.
