| On
April 5th, 2003 a long overdue tourney was played at Horseshoe Billiards in
Duluth, MN. A Top-16 invite-only 'King Of The Board' |
|
| tourney
was the brainchild of Smitty and Ryan Williams. The idea was to have a
one-on-one, 501 DI/DO & Cricket format to see who |
|
| could
lay claim to 'King Of The Board' - best of the best. After warm-ups and
sign-ups the tourney began at about 2:00pm with several |
|
| big
upsets in the first and secon rounds even though the top 4 players remained
in the semi's. In one of the biggest upsets of the day, |
|
| Lopez
beat Brett to move into the 'winners of the winners'. I almost had the match
of my life in taking 'The Great One' to game five |
|
| only
to be eliminated in a 4.6 to 4.3 Cricket game. The tourney results were as
follows: |

I thought this was a
great tournament. I enjoyed the singles competition with so many great
players |
|
|
| |
in
attendance. Special thanks go out to Ryan for adding in money for the
tourney, to Smitty for organizing |
|
|
| |
the event, to Horseshoe
Billiards for having a great location for a big tournament, and to TPA for
also |
|
|
| |
sponsoring the event and
supplying the boards. -Mark Wagemaker |
