Desert Classic Tour

AZPoolScene@hotmail.com — Sat, 05 Nov 2011 15:16:00 GMT

Just a reminder that the final stop for 2012 DCT is this weekend at Stingers. It will be $1000 added bar table 9-ball. Sign up at 11am, draw and tourney starts at noon.

Also, the 2012 DCT Finale will be December 2 - 4. It will be a big table 10-ball event at Bullshooter's. I'm aware the website has the wrong date; however, it will be corrected shortly.

In addition,players will only need to have played in ONE event throughout this year in order to qualify for the finale next month. There are reasons for this change. 1.) Over the years, we have held at least 10 stops and required players to play in two events. This year, it was lowered to 8 events, meaning less events to get qualified. 2.) Several players had expressed their desire to play in the Tucson event (when it was originally scheduled). Due to a family emergency, I had to reschedule that event which made it impossible for some to get their second event in. So, with that being said, if any players (who have not played this year) still desire to play in the finale next month, they can play this weekend and become qualified.

Hope to see you all Saturday at Stingers and/or at Bullshooters for the finale!

Thanks for supporting the DCT!

Rebecca Wagner Wins at Stingers

AZPoolScene@hotmail.com — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 03:57:00 GMT

By Tres Kane, October 14, 2011

Saturday, October 8th, at Stinger’s in Glendale, was the place to be for women's 8-ball on the ten Diamond 7’ tables. It was the fifth stop on the 2011 Arizona Women’s Billiard Tour, but the first time that Stinger’s had held an event. Owner's Dale Hanson & Dana Micelli and staff, were more than willing to accommodate all of our needs. Stinger’s is a very spacious room with twelve 7’ tables, great food and a full bar to settle the nerves. In addition, between matches, you could partake in off-track betting, social poker, or watch sports on the many large screens throughout the bar.

STACY ALLSUP WINS HER SECOND AWBT EVENT!

AZPoolScene@hotmail.com — Tue, 20 Sep 2011 03:05:00 GMT

September 16, 2011 by Tres Kane

Stacy Allsup defeated Kristin Haney 9-8 to win Stop #4 at Bullshooters in Phoenix. This was Stacy's second tour win and along with fellow Las Vegan, Rebecca Wagner, they have won all four AWBT events this season. For Kristin Haney, of Prescott Valley, this second place finish, along with a fourth in April, proves she is still a woman to be reckoned with in the Arizona pool scene.

Play began Saturday with 26 ladies from the southwest and Wisconsin. After the computer draw, one bracket in particular, was loaded with AWBT point leaders. Susan Williams had a first round win over Susan "Madhatter" Mello 7-2, but in the next round she lost to point leader, Rebecca Wagner, 7-5. Then Rebecca lost 7-5 to Kristin Haney who had just beaten Sara Miller. Just like that, four of the tournament favorites were in the loser's bracket. Only Wagner and Mello would make it out to play on Sunday.
