DAVENPORT, IA (5/5-9/87) - N i c k V a r n e r
and Jean Balukas reclaimed their titles
of 1 9 8 3 , T h e M c D e r m o t t M a s t e r s
Championship. Nick Varner posted an 8-0
record thus preventing Mike Sigel from
winning his fourth major title in a row.
The race to eleven, double elimination
event drew a hundred men and women
players from across the nation building
p u r s e s of $ 3 3 , 0 0 0 and $ 8 , 0 0 0
respectively. Varner won $10,000 while
Balukas cashed in $2,000. In addition to
the finals, there were many exciting
matches, particularly Varner over Reyes
11-10, Mike Sigel's .988 TPA, and Dallas
West's and Jimmy Hodges' .950 pluses.
Miller Time Billiards of Iowa hosted the
PBA sanctioned event and stayed open 24
hours a day.
Jim McDermott of McDermott
Cue Mfg. and Steve Thorns of TPC Cash &
Carry were the major sponsors adding
Sigel
$20,000 to the prize fund. Pat Fleming
directed the event with Scott Smith.
The tournament arena housed six Gold
Crown pool tables with bleacher seating
on three sides. Of course, Accu-Stats was
there with several cameras installed in
the ceiling grids for reviewing matches.
Accu-Stats was in the capable hands of
Dennis McGimpsey of Moline.
Scott Kitto appears to be recovering
quite well from a triple bypass heart
In fact, he defeated Wade
operation.
Crane and Jimmy Reid in style, and
averaged an .865 TPA for the tournament,
In fact, he shot so well, there may be a
run on triple bypass heart operations by
pool players who don't need them. We
sincerely wish him well.
Past winners of this event were Gary
Nolan, Earl Strickland, Lori Shampo and
Margaret Schmittau. See you next year.
Notable Matches
One of the earlier matches proved to be the match
that exhibited the best play of the entire
tournament. Mike Sigel (,988) shot a near perfect
match defeating Chuck Absher (.474) 11-4. Sigel's
only error during the match was a scratch on the
break. At this time, .988 is the highest recorded
Accu-Stats average for a race to eleven. Despite a
high TPA, Sigel only made a ball on the break
three times.
Takeshi Okunuro (.888), the finest player in
Japan, played his debut match against veteran
Howard Vickery (.759). Okumuro broke and ran out
five of his eleven breaks to win 11-5. It was soon
apparent that Okumuro can play!
Matt Mattille (.643) opened up his session
indicating possibly that he knew something that no
one else knew. He pocketed the nine ball on the
break on his first two breaks. But from that point
on, Jinny Hodges (.957) dominated the session and
never missed a ball. Final score: Hodges 11,
Mattille 3. Incidentally, Hodges' .957 was not his
high TPA of the tourney.
After trailing the entire match, Ken Cross (.778)
finally closed the gap, although still trailing
6-7. His fatal mistake was a bad safety. Jia Wetch
(.882) ran the next thirty-five balls to run out
the set and win 11-6.
k.
Paul Brienza (.841) opened up with a 3-0 lead but
after failing to pocket a ball on the next break,
he never had a chance. Jimmy Hodges (.973) ran out
each of the eleven opportunities he had and won
11-3.
Ironically, despite a .973 and a .957,
Hodges finished out-of-the-money.
Buddy Hall (.974) broke and ran out five times and
missed only one ball while defeating Willie Munaon
(.818), 11-4.
From the onset, Grady Mathews (.872) played
catch-up with Ron Doboaenaki (.872).
Finally,
Dobosenski missed a 9-ball bank shot allowing
Mathews to pull ahead 8-7. Unfortunately, Mathews
then scratched on the break. From that point on,
he was only afforded the benefit of racking as
Dobosenski ran out the set to win 11-8.
In a most heartbreaking match, Mark Wilson (.947)
played a superb session of 9-ball. While on the
hill at 10-6 against formidable Takeshi Okumuro
(.893), Wilson was only afforded kicks and
safeties. Okumuro was fortunate in that he kicked
two balls in with reward and missed two shots
without penalty. Final score: Okumuro 11, Wilson
10.
Bob Willises (.867) set an Accu-Stats record for
pocketing the most balls on the break in one
session. With his opponent Dick Spitzer (.862)

pocketing a total of thirty balls on the break. On
each break, he made: 4+2+4+5+4+4+3+3+1=30! Spitzer

It was a rather uneventful match for the first
seventeen racks. David Nottingham (.738) kept a
small lead over Garry Drennan (.780) throughout
the match and at 10-7 missed an easy shot. The
match would not have been his had Drennan not
scratched on the S-ball at 10-10. Final score:
Nottingham 11, Drennan 10.
During three separate times at the table, Danny
Hedins (.911) ran an 18, 25, and 37 for a total of
80 balls in three turns. Jia Mataya (.756) was the
victim. Final score: Medina 11, Mataya 5.

After Nick Varner (.944) missed a shot while
trailing 4-5, Efren Reyes (.916) extended his lead
to 7-4. From that point on Reyes shot a .950, but
Varner shot a 1.000 to edge Reyes 11-10. This was
the best match played by both players.

Bowling Green Open
BOWLING GREEN, KY (3/24-28/87) - Jimmy Hodges, owner of
Cue Time Billiards & Cocktails staged The 3rd Annual
Bowling Green Open recently and generously added $6,000
to the prize fund. Forty-one professionals entered the
event posting $200 apiece for the chance of sharing in
the $14,000 purse.
After four days of intense
competition (as evidenced by the player list below) on
three Brunswick Gold Crowns, Earl Strickland emerged
champion. In races to eleven, he defeated Keowen (6),
Maryo (6), Varner (6), Parica (8), Reyes (3), and Varner
(9). Runner-up Nick Varner was exceptional, his only
losses being at the hands of winner Earl Strickland.
Mark Maryo also played exceptionally well posting the
high run of six racks. Joe Kerr (Joker Promotions) ably
directed the capacity crowd event and anticipates an
even bigger event next year. The final standings follow:

Jarvis Succumbs to Sigel In Finale
Balukas Outlasts Mataya
ST. CHARLES, IL (4/7-12/87) - T h e
6th Annual 9-Ball Classic was
clearly a showcase event.
The
$15,000 added tournament was held
in the ballroom of the Pheasant
Run Resort Hotel and featured four
beautiful Soren Sogard pool tables
with heated slates and Granito
Tournament Cloth 2000. The double
elimination black tie event was
directed
by
Joe
Kerr
and
sanctioned by the PBA and WPBA.
Mike Sigel continued his winning
ways, but Mark Jarvis received
most of the attention, and rightly
so, for he was the remaining
player in the winners1 bracket
after defeating Buddy Hall, Earl
Strickland, and Efren Reyes. He
couldn't hang on as Mike Sigel
beat him twice for the $6,000
first prize. Jean Balukas won the
women's division title suffering a
single loss to Ewa Mataya. Jean
also played in the men's division
and scored an impressive victory
over Mike LeBron. Incidentally,
the biggest winner of the event
was the person who won the $22,000
classic 1966 Mustang convertible
raffled off by Jim Willard.
