VNEA = POOL = FUN.
Press Release Dated June 10th, 2003
By Brian Elliott
VNEA = POOL = FUN.
Players Have Time Of Their Lives
At The Riv.
The 23rd Annual VNEA
Int’l Championships in
Las Vegas, Nevada.
Nearly 3,000 VNEA Pool
Players Packed The Rear
Parking Pavilion For The 2003
Opening Ceremonies!
If you ever wondered what the most impressive Pool Tournament setting in the history of
the game looked like, the 23rd Annual VNEA
Championships which ran from May 22nd
through the 31st, 2003 was the place to see
just that. As players entered the first Grand
Ballroom of the Riv, you could see an instant
smile on their faces and more often than not,
their first words were “WOW”, come here,
you’ve got to see this! Players travelled to Las
Vegas from Australia, Bahamas, Bermuda, Canada, Croatia, Finland, Germany, New Zealand, Portugal and Spain.
That’s 10 countries not including 6 Canadian Provinces and 39 United States. When entering the room, the VNEA
wants the player to feel like they’ve entered their own pool planet. They are greeted with Dave Pearson’s Speed Pool
arena which coincides with Tom “Dr. Cue” Rossman’s Artistic Pool setting. A bit farther lies the coveted VNEA Finals
Arena where colorful, spandex kites cover 8 prestine tables which await the outcome of some of the tournaments
biggest matches. A practice facility fittingly called “Charlies Pool Palace” will shortly catch your eye as well as an
abundance of freshly set Valley pool tables (250 in all) comfortably decorated around the rooms floorspace. Pleasant
event banners line the open air spaces while gobo’s of colored light embrace the ballroom walls with event locations,
sponsor names and artful VNEA logos. Further into the room you find several mini-bar stations as well as a mini-food
court to tantalize the players taste buds. A critical part of the main room revolves around the ever-busy VNEA Booth
which offers the players as well as Charter Holders and spectators a place to get VNEA questions answered, pick up
tournament souvenirs, get team pictures taken or enter raffles galore with all monies going to the incredible VNEA
Junior Program. Also located in the VNEA Booth was the very popular “Rack-A-Round” competition which tested the
players cue ball control as well as ball-clearing efficiency. Competition was fun and great times were recorded. At the
end of the room was the VNEA Control Stage which was ran with impeccable proficiency throughout the entire event.
This is just what you saw when you first got to the tournament. There was still another ballroom as well as
siderooms, a Vendors Arena (filled with pool paraphernalia to meet every players needs), and countless other
side events. From two fun-filled pool parties (swimming pool), to an incredible Opening Ceremonies, to
Certified Instructor and Referee Courses, to an elegant President’s Reception, to a show-ending Awards
Banquet, the VNEA travelling extravaganza is the greatest “Pool Show” on the planet.
Oh Yeah! There was plenty of pool competition as well. From 8-Ball and 9-Ball Singles to Scotch Doubles to
Team events, the VNEA kept its players busy playing pool for as long as they wanted every day of the tournament.
Also, for the convenience of friends, family and press back home, the results of this tournament were reported,
as events unfolded, live on the internet at www.vnea.com.

by Amusement Companies around the world to
conduct leagues on their tables alone. In this
regard, 205 amusement companies were represented at this years event sending either the winners of their leagues or anybody who qualified
that wants to be a part of the VNEA experience in
Las Vegas. At this 23rd Annual event, the players
were offered the following 19 events to display
their talents:

As an added bonus at this years championships,
James Peterson from Jumpin’ James Cues, graciously donated personally engraved jump cues to
the winners of the Singles and Scotch Doubles
events.
With the Singles competition concluded, it was
time to bring on the teams and what a better way
to do so than with the world renown VNEA Team
Opening Ceremonies Celebration. Over 3,000
eager pool shooters attended this incredible show
which opened with a colorful parade of flags from
around the world, and the Singles Awards
Presentation to honor their fantastic feats. Once
all of the states and countries were acknowledged
and the Singles winners were all acquainted with
their beautiful Charlie awards, the VNEA had a
drawing for a beautiful El Tigre Home Pool Table.
The lucky winner was Stu Watt from Valley Pool
NZ Ltd. in Pukekohe, New Zealand and was
awarded the table by Valley Vice-President of
Sales Dave Courington.
Also, with forty-five members already in place, the
VNEA Amateur Pool Player “Hall of Fame” was
ready to induct its next deserving fivesome.
Receiving this tremendous honor, along with a
beautiful Hall of Fame satin jacket, certificate and
limited edition VNEA Hall of Fame trading card
set, were the following inductees:
•
•
•
•
•
Denise Belanger - Ontario Skill Games (Ontario)
Lorna Duprel - Hills Vending (SD)
Donna Grass - G & G Enterprises (Ontario)
Kathy Hayes - D & R Star (MN)
Rick Tonjum - D & R Star (MN)
As in years past, the VNEA asked its players if
anyone would like to display their talent at the
festive mixer. This years highlights were given
by professional pool personality Mike Massey
singing his new release “Pool Hall Junkies” from
the hit movie of the same name. Also, a zany
duo from down under (Australia) performed
their rendition of Steve Irwin’s Crocodile Hunter.
Fortunately, in this skit, the extremely dangerous,
stuffed koala bear didn’t take off anyone’s finger.
When the last award was handed out, the show
kicked into high gear with a barrage of incredible
fireworks which lit up the sky and alerted the city
that the VNEA was in town. As the last firework
shot into the air, the great sounds of the fabulous
band THE ZIPPERS brought the capacity crowd
to its feet. The rest of the evening consisted of
laughing, dancing and meeting new friends.
Coming off a night of incredible entertainment,
the Team competition kicked off Tuesday morn-
ing right on schedule. Over 700 teams participated in the Team events and the battle to the finals
was long and hard-fought.
In the 8-Ball Open Team Regular Division, it was
Planet Pool from Town & Country Amusement in
Windsor, Ontario, Canada taking home the title by
defeating Long Lake Has Beens from Gregory
Amusements in Battle Creek, Michigan. Planet Pool
grabbed the grand prize of $10,000 while Long Lake
Has Beens pocketed $8,000. Congratulations to
both of these hard playing teams. What an accomplishment.
In the Women’s Team Regular final it was H2O
Vision Quest from Wal-Mac Amusements in
Edmonton, Alberta, Canada and Got Shape? from
High Country/TD Rowe in Ft. Collins, Colorado
who battled for the $5,000 first prize. After some
great play, H2O Vision Quest captured the title.
Got Shape? received $3,000 for their second place
finish.
Before the finals of the Masters events got kicked
off in “The VNEA Dome”, hundreds of spectators
gathered for the inaugural playing of the newly
introduced “Valley Cup” annual competition.
With a coveted, shiny silver chalice and bragging
rights for a year up for grabs, 5 randomly selected
VNEA Hall of Fame Members would wage pool war
against 5 randomly picked VNEA Tournament
Referees. Final match-ups were drawn and five 9Ball, race to 2, battles would begin. With competition as exciting as anyone could imagine, it came
down to the final ball of the final match to decide
the winner. With nerves of steel, Joe Fazio from
the Refs team, pocketed the 9-Ball finishing off a
competition that will burn in the stomachs of the
Hall of Famers for an entire year until they can try
to regain “The Cup” in 2004. Valley Cup participants were as follows:
The Refs: Joe Fazio, Al Jarvis, Roy Alicea, Rick
Goodman and Nils McConnell.
The Hall of Famers: Ed Borgia, Shelley Hudson,
Dave Everett, Dennis Favero and Blaine MacNeil.
The finals of the Masters events were next to take
place in The Dome which sported 8 comfortably
placed tables with arena seating with over 300
spectators in attendance and an overhead projector
displaying an up to date scoresheet for each match.
For the second year in a row, it was a battle of
Alberta for the 8-Ball Open Team Masters championship title. Wayne’s Grumpy Old Men from WalMac and Good Question from Challenger squared
off for the prize. Wayne’s Grumpy Old Men
walked away with the title and a check for $8,500.
Second place finisher’s, Good Question, earned
$5,000 for their successful play.
It was also an all-Alberta match up in the 8-Ball
Women’s Team Masters event. Again, it was the
Ashton twins and Back For More from Challenger
Vending 2000 defeating Q-Club Pure Instinct from
Wal-Mac Amusements. The champions pocketed
$4,500 while second place received $2,600.
With the addition of the third team division, teams
are virtually guaranteed the possibility of playing
at least 4 and possibly 6 team matches. This division has been a huge success.
Australia #2 from Amarda Holdings Pty. in Australia
took home first prize of $1,000 in the Sportsmen’s
Division with a win over Sidepockets from United
Distributors in Wichita, Kansas who took home a
respectable second place check for $800.
Two more Alberta teams, both from Wal-Mac
Amusements, also made it to the finals of the
Sportswomen’s Division. It was Snifters Stirred
Not Shaken who defeated Rosario’s Bustin’ Loose
in this great match. Snifters captured $500 while
Rosario’s settled for $350.
The “Hardluck Competition” also had some
great play for teams that were unfortunately
knocked out in the early rounds of the
Tournament. First place winners of beautiful

Trying to add to the already entertaining tournament schedule, the VNEA incorporated 2 exciting
pool parties for the players to enjoy and participate
in. Two playful parties featuring “Party Music” and
everything from a watermelon eatin’ contest to a
bikini contest were offered. There was even a
temporary tattoo artist available to decorate your
body and an incredible magician walking around
to amaze the crowd. Everyone in attendance had
a ball, and a load of prizes were given away to the
winners of the numerous contests and games.
Charter Holders and special dignitaries were invited to the annual President’s Reception earlier in
the week in honor of VNEA President Tom Elum
of Elum Music in Massillon, Ohio. Lifetime
Sanction Cards were presented to four VNEA long
time contributors. The cards exemplify a lifetime
of commitment to the VNEA and were issued to
Tom & Marty Rossman (Dr. Cue Promotions),
Viking Cue (accepted by Dennis Coulter) and
President Elum.
Reception guests were treated to the talents of an
incredible “slight of hand” magician who travelled
from table to table with his awesome acts.
Also highlighted at the reception was the presentation of the 2003 Warren Kelley Meritorious Service
Award. In memory of Warren Kelley, a great
believer in the VNEA, this is the highest award
given by the VNEA. Presenting the award were
VNEA Executive Director Gregg Elliott and longtime friend Mike Fowler from W-K Music &
Vending. Accepting the award at this years ceremony was Jerry Dunbar from Columbus, Ohio.
Congratulations Jerry. Your enormous commitment to our Association over the years is greatly
appreciated.
The President’s Choice Award, presented by
current VNEA President Tom Elum, was awarded
to Dave Courington of Valley for his dedication to
the VNEA and his continuous efforts to make our
association the strongest of its kind in the world.
Congratulations Dave for your many contributions.
Another unique feature of the VNEA
Championships was the Team Uniform Award.
This award was named the “Red Jones” Team
Uniform Award in 1997 after Mr. Pool, Red Jones,
passed away. Red was always known for his
classy wardrobe around the tournament room and
it was an honor to keep his name alive by permanently affixing it to this award.
Many teams, from all over the world, concentrated
hard on having a unique tournament look. Several
interesting and one of a kind fashions were
unveiled. The women’s competition was topped
by Viking Vixens of Challenger Vending 2000 in
Alberta whose members included Tracey Charest,
Gen Gingras, Pat Coninx, Bobbi Gill and Tara
Weiss. On the men’s side, Wild 8 of Aactive Coin
in Manitoba captured first prize. Team members
included Kevin Lansard, Patrick Bonneteau, Dan
Pelland, Anders Prokopowich, Ken Bernstein and
John Harrison. Beautiful V-neck sweatshirts were
awarded to the members of these festive teams.
Professional Pool Instructor Mr. Jerry Briesath was
on hand throughout the week to give instruction
and answer questions. Briesath, taking his Pool
School on the road, is always a crowd favorite as
he teaches his techniques in a very intimate setting
which makes him very understandable and in tune
with the players. Jerry’s room was filled to capacity
throughout the tournament week.
With his venue just feet from the ballrooms
entrance, Tom “Dr. Cue” Rossman brought his
Artistic Pool show to the forefront. The Doctors
fast-paced, energy filled shows always draws
tremendous crowds as he grips you with his
highly skilled pool artistry and witty lingo.
Again this year, Dr. Cue held his Artistic Shot
Making competition culminating in the 8th
Annual World Artistic Pool Championship. The
first challenge Dr. Cue held attracted a record
109 contestants with cash and a unique Artistic
Pool trophy up for grabs. Mike Stuart from
Edmonton, Alberta captured first place, $230 and
an acrylic award in this first event while Jason
Duff from Calgary, Alberta captured second
place which paid $160 plus a trophy. Robert
Rodriguez from Denver, Colorado beat out 88
other participants in the second Artistic Pool
event pocketing himself $175 along with a beautiful trophy. Stan Tourangeau from Vancouver,
British Columbia, proudly finished in second
place pocketing $125 and a trophy. The third
event was to decide the World Artistic Pool
Champion. With 3 countries ready to do battle
in the finals, competition got underway. With
some great scores being recorded, and over 100
spectators, everyone anxiously awaited the outcome. In the end it was a battle between Canada
and the U.S. with the Canadian Jason Duff from
Calgary, Alberta capturing the title and beautiful
Artistic Pool award. Mark Dimick, from
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, finished second.
Also, $520 was collected throughout the event to
be given to the growing VNEA Junior Program.
Sharing the spotlight with Dr. Cue was one of
the VNEA’s greatest attractions... Dave “The
Ginger Wizard” Pearson. Dave ran several
Speed Pool events with daily winners receiving
beautiful cues. He also collected an incredible
amount of money for the VNEA Junior Program.
The VNEA is fortunate to have Dave as a partner in pool. As an added treat, Dave decided
that on Thursday, May 29th at 6:00pm, he would
attempt to set a new world record for clearing
10 tables of 15 balls in less than 8 minutes, 57.1
seconds. With hundreds of well-wishers in attendance, Dave wound the crowd into a frenzy
with his attempt at pool history. With 8:48.1
showing on the Speed Clock, Dave sunk ball
#150 setting a new World Record and astonishing the crowd with his endurance and extreme
ball-clearing ability. With local and national
news media in attendance, Dave thanked the
audience for their support and praised VNEA for
all they do for amateur pool. Congratulations,
Dave, on this enormous accomplishment.
The VNEA Booth welcomed the addition of the
“Rack-A-Round Competition” (conducted by
Sandy Chamberlain and Mr. Keith from R & M
Music in Oklahoma). The men and women of
the VNEA had their ball control skills tested
daily with this unique and exciting side event.
Daily winners received cash for their efforts.
This competition was tons of fun and enjoyed
by all participants.
Another very worthwhile event took place during the 23rd Annual event - The VNEA “Cues
For Kids” Program. Many gracious companies
donated cues, cases, clothing, etc. to be raffled

With the Team competition concluding in the
early afternoon hours of May 31st, it was time to
start preparing for the much anticipated 23rd
Annual VNEA Awards Banquet and
Entertainment Extravaganza. When the doors
opened at 5:45 that afternoon, the players were
treated to their pick of over a dozen beverage
stations, the great sounds of The Blues
Brothers Tribute Band and an incredible buffet style dinner that made your mouth water.
The band rocked the house throughout the hour
long cocktail party and then hung around to
greet the players and have their pictures taken
with them. Also in the crowd was a balloon
artist as well as a photographer who captured
special moments at each table and instantly
framed the photos in a beautiful 23rd Annual
Banquet paper frame.

in hysterics. What a show!

VNEA ALL STARS. What an accomplishment! When you consider an Association with nearly
100,000 players, 6,000 of whom attend the VNEA International Championships, it’s impressive to think
that just a handful of these skilled shooters can call themselves VNEA All-Stars.
Based on a point system awarding excellence throughout the week of the tournament, All-Star Teams
are selected to represent the cream of the crop at the tournament.
The following teams were selected for 2003.

AMATEUR POOL PLAYER
HALL OF FAME
The heart-pounding excitement of the Opening Ceremonies at the 23rd Annual VNEA International
Championships in Las Vegas, Nevada was the perfect setting for the induction of the newest members of the VNEA Hall of Fame.
With players gathered from all over the world and all of VNEA’s dignitaries in attendance, the stage
was set for the introduction of the 2003 VNEA Amateur Pool Player Hall of Fame inductees.
Receiving this prestigious honor, along with an exclusive Hall of Fame Satin Jacket, Certificate and limited edition VNEA Hall of Fame Trading Card Set, were the following players:
•
•
•
•
•
Denise Belanger - Ontario Skill Games (Ontario)
Lorna Duprel - Hills Vending (SD)
Donna Grass - G & G Enterprises (Ontario)
Kathy Hayes - D & R Star (MN)
Rick Tonjum - D & R Star (MN)
At the conclusion of the induction ceremonies, the new Hall of Fame members cordially mingled with
admirers and signed autographs for those seeking keepsakes. The “2003 Class” brings the VNEA Hall
of Fame Membership to 50 players. Our congratulations to these very special players.
Lifetime Members
At the Annual President’s Reception, held at the scenic Top of the Riv, during the 23rd Annual
VNEA International Championships, a very honorable presentation took place for four very special
long time VNEA family members. These four people have performed their duties and carried themselves in such an honorable fashion throughout the years that the title Lifetime Members seems to
be a perfect match. For their remarkable efforts, Viking Cue (presented to Dennis Coulter), Dr.
Cue & Ms. Cue (Tom & Marty Rossman), and Tom Elum (Elum Music) were awarded beautiful
hardwood encased, etched brass Lifetime Sanction Cards.
Exemplifying ingenuity, longevity, adaptability, creativity and many other attributes, these remarkable
people have earned their standing as VNEA Lifetime Members. Congratulations!
