2009 Speed Pool Preperation
Our city tournament is this next week and my favorite event is again here this year... I've got 3rd in speed pool the past 3 years, usually takes around 60-65 seconds to qualify. This one below took around 54-55 seconds...

2008-2009 Final Pool Stats
Finished out the season with both my pool teams and this week is the city tournaments.
Sunday night we took the cake with a 4 round win against Risky's in a long fought 2 team race....beat them every time this season which was definitely the difference.
Won individual honors on Sunday with a 67-13 record, 7 EROs, a 9.10 average and 4.10 power average... hope I don't get a coaster like the City Single's champions are getting!
Everyone on my team played well this season and I'm looking forward to refining a team for the fall!
One my Wednesday master league, our team finished 6th out of 12 teams. I ended with a 57-63 record a 6.77 average and 9 EROs
Hope we can fare better in the tourney coming up!!

League Update
Haven't talked much about our pool leagues...but the seasons are nearly wrapped up.
First I'll talk about my Sunday Night league, below is the standings...
Our team is Incognito, and is in 1st by a few rounds with 2 weeks left. Our last two matches is the 3rd place team (Firesticks) and a position round against the 2nd place team (Who Cares). This season we have beat the 2nd place team 5-1, 5-1, & 4-2...so hopefully we can finish this league off. My record is 59-11 with 6 EROs, probably my best record ever. My team consists of a 7 man rotation including my wife, dad, and a 4 of my friends.
----------------------------------------------------------
My other league on Wednesday Master league is going pretty well, a couple days ago our team beat the 1st place team 4-2 with an awesome MUST RUN-OUT by our last shooter. I know I'd choked on this run...and another inch of roll would probably resulted in going 2-4 instead.
Then this next shot wasn't easy with the match on the line...but I guess that's why I don't play last.
This maintained our team in 5th with 4 weeks left, we have the last place team in the league, the 2nd and the 8th place team left, then a position round. We're the Smooth Stones...
Only a couple rounds outta 3rd...which is still in reach, especially if we get to 4th for the position round against 3rd!

2009 Great Plains Tournament
Our team played in an open handicapped tournament today at Pershing Auditorium here in Lincoln. We started off really hot, beating up on the first team we played pretty handlely (Rumored to be Iowa team champs). But we played pretty well. Then we lost to the next team we played...but gave them a nice head start, giving them the first 5 8 balls. We had a couple hour wait so we headed to Duggan's for some grub and caught some 3 card monte...this guy is from Omaha and has some pretty good slide of hand! He took a few buck and put on a profitable show for himself.
In the loser bracket, we won our first match easily, then started off horribly with 6 straight losses out of the 16 game format. Then we went on to win 7 straight back to make a good match of it. Our last player played a perfect safety with his 5 ball, blocking him from the stripe.
Then he managed to get a hit with a lucky, but good kick off the titty... er corner of the pocket.
That was the end for us in that tournament...that kick shot cost our team $60 minimum since we missed cashing by one team win. All-in-all it was a fun day though.

2009 Heartland Tournament
Our team started off badly losing 2 out our first 3 matches. But this made us eligible for the "Second Chance" Tourney. There were 22 two-time losers eligible for this tournament...we won 3 matches and ended up getting 3rd for a $60 payout.
After this we took off to pick up our kids from the grandparents. It was now midnight already!! Our first match was at 9am...needless to say my wife and I are now tired of pool!
I got pulled over on my way to get the kids and got lucky with just a warning! Got home with the kids at around 2:30 am....not sure I wanna do this again, but it was fun.
