Congratulations To Tri-State Tour Purse Splitters Ted Lapadula and Tom McCloud!!

With 54 entrants in the February 13 Tri-State Tour stop at Castle Billiards in East Rutherford, NJ, the finals ran a little late; so late, that the two competitors, Tom McCloud and Ted Lapadula, opted to forego playing the true double elimination match (which would have required Lapadula to win twice) and split the first and second place winnings.

Congratulations Lucasi Hybrid All American Tour 29th Stop Winner Ryan Robinson!!

The twenty-ninth stop on the 2009-2010 Lucasi Hybrid All American Tour (produced by the American CueSports Alliance – ACS) was hosted in E. Moline, Illinois, on Saturday, February 5, at Leisure Time Billiards. The $500 added event featured a full field of sixty-four players in a double-elimination, “No Masters” 8-ball format on 7-foot bar boxes.

Anthony Garcia (Cedar Rapids, IA) swept through the A-side undefeated, topping his victories off with a 4-1 domination of Ryan Robinson (Davenport, IA) in the A-side semi-finals and a 4-1 run over Mike Peiffer (Washington, IA) in the A-side finals.

On the B-side, Robinson recovered to eliminate Don Grawe (Moline, IL) at 5th place by a 4-2 margin, while Dean Fuller (Davenport, IA) tied Grawe when he fell at the hands of Steve Westlin (Davenport, IA) 4-3. Robinson then ended the runs of Westlin at 4th place by a 4-2 score and Mike Peiffer at 3rd place by a 4-2 margin. In the tournament finals, Ryan Robinson took full advantage of another opportunity at Anthony Garcia by claiming two sets 4-2, 4-3 for the title!

By virtue of Ryan Robinson being the highest-finishing ACS member in the event, he qualified for a free 8-Ball singles entry into the 2010 ACS Nationals in Las Vegas – courtesy of the ACS.
