I had a great time in Houston. I loved the format racing to three games. I read some of the commentary and it seems that several of us want the old guys to shoot faster, play with the "Grady Rule," or just speed up play. Really, make the old guys play a game that is geared toward viewership not the players themselves? For me, I'd have been happy to be playing at 3 AM in the finals no matter what. Those that complain about the format didn't play or got knocked out early. I call that "Sour Grapes," to say the least. First off, the staff and ownership at Bogies were most gracious and provided an excellent venue and added money to the event. They bent over backwards for us even providing lunch and free practice for the seniors. Let's give them a big THANK YOU. Jeff Sparks was instrumental in starting this shindig and John Henderson for his support and work behind the scenes for making this happen. Steve Booth needs a shout out for keeping this site working as I know it's a labor of love on his part. He certainly isn't getting rich keeping this site functioning. I don't know who won as I had to leave early sunday night for an early morning flight. Just rambling here but I'll just put a few more points out there. I wish Frank Almanza was here and I hope he is OK. I enjoyed watching Sammy Jones play again in a tournament. Ike Runnels is a monster and plays very well. Dr. Bill still plays very well. Tommy De Lorenzo came out and played well. Bob Herchik has the patience of JOB. His match with Skitto was was a real marathon. And lastly, WHO WON?
