Ginky touched our lives and I am honored to send you this press release to announce this special event. Please update your calendars as the Predator Tour originally had this stop scheduled for June 18-19 and has been changed to June 25-26.

Tournament Director Steve McDonald had a busy weekend as 83 open division players and 27 ladies division players showed up for the competition that was held on 7-foot Diamond Smart Tables with Simonis Cloth. With 28 Diamond Bar Tables, JOB’ provides the perfect venue for the event, as they can handle a large number of players with ease.

And this was one of the strongest fields ever for this event in both the Open Division and the Ladies Division.

Steve Roy wins Rolling Rock Challenge
After seven weeks of qualifiers Snookers Sports Billiards Bar & Grill of Providence RI held the finals of the $5000.00 Rolling Rock Challenge on August 28th and 29th. The only way to play in the finals was to finish in one of the top three positions in a qualifier. Players were divided into 3 classes “A”, “B”, and “C”. Players ranked in the “A” class raced to 8, “B” to 7 and “C” to 6. There were separate qualifiers for each class so you only had to compete against equal skill levels to qualify. Once 64 players qualified (21 for each division and one random draw from non winning entrants) they held the finals doing a random draw for all 64. Each player in the finals raced to the level as used in the qualifiers (6,7 or 8).

BRUMBACK STILL THE BEST BANKER

Brumback repeats as bank champion at the derby city.

A field of 356 bankers started the event, with all the big names.

John Brumback came through the field as he beat; Shannon Daulton, Rafael Martinez, Efren Reyes, George Breedlove, Glen “œpiggy banks” Rogers, Shane Van Boening, Sy Brown, Baeu Runninger, Ed Deska, Scott Frost, and William Hash.  It was no walk in the park for John, as he had to get by Efren Reyes twice in the semi’s and the finals.
