Everyone,
Congratulations to Stop # 5 winners Jonathan Smith ($1,000) & our $1,500 Joss Cue raffle winner George Florides
Stop # 6, the 8th annual Al Conte Memorial tournament will take place on November 5 & 6 at Hippo's The House Of Billiards in Yorkville NY, just outside of Utica. Our host Andrea Duvall deserves our thanks for generously adding $2,000 and allowing us the use of her room for the weekend. Since taking over at Hippo's Andrea has added her own touch with a new web site www.hipposyorkville.com, a new Facebook page, delicious homemade food specials and now free Wi Fi. Hippos has 12, 9 foot Gabriel tables and 8, 7 footers, all covered in 860 Simonis (The Cloth Of Champions). She has made Hippo's a true family fun destination spot, and has even held many events and functions for our junior players! So come to Hippo's to show your support and be treated to yet another great 9-ball event. You may even win a $1,500 custom, engraved Joss Cue in Hippos cue raffle, Anyone can participate and you do not have to be present to win! We will draw the winner of the cue on Sunday just before the final match. The Joss raffle cue can be viewed here:
