Ed Tomlinson traveled to the Serbian Social Center in Lansing, IL in early October to compete in the Regional round of the National Singles Tournament. Ed won rackless matches to make it to the semi-final where he was defeated. We're glad he had the opportunity to experience Regionals and bet he's planning on attending next time around. Congrats!
Congratulations to Jeremy Check and Justin Pence for great shooting in the APA US Open Pool Tournament. They played at Cuephoria in River Grove, IL. This site was one of 22 sites across the US holding the Open Tournament. Both has strong showings in 8-Ball but neither could seal the deal when it came to 9-Ball play. Those players that did win qualified to move on to the US Amateur Championships in Atlanta, GA in November.
