But,
before

some
very
important business had t o be taken care o f . At the

By popular demand, the p l a y e r s chose t o rack

Matches
"Notable Matches" has become a very popular segment of Accu-Stats. Here, we review
matches worthy of note. The number in parentheses is the player's TPA for thst session.
In a first round match, Earl Strickland (.945) got
off to a good start by drubbing Danny Medina
(.313) 11-0. Earl held Medina to pocketing just
five balls for the entire session.
In another first round contest, Efren Reyes (.864)
proved to be more than a match for Woody Woodhouse
(.525) as he chalked up his third shutout of the
year.
What a finish!
John Brinkley (.780) took a
commanding lead, 10-5, over Ralph Curry (.805).
Although Curry had missed nine shots already, he
would miss no more. He made his drive and closed
the gap applying unneeded pressure to Brinkley. At
10-10, with three bslls on the table, Brinkley
missed an easy shot setting the stage for a Curry
victory. Curry ran the last three balls without a
hitch. The crowd applauded, Brinkley and Curry
approached each other for the customary post game
handshake, but wait...the cue ball did not stop
rolling yet and may scratch in the side pocket.
The handshake was put on hold for just one more
second as everyone watched the cue ball disappear.
The players completed the handshake but for
different reasons, Brinkley 11, Curry 10.
While defeating Pete Taacarella (.618) 11-4, Louie
Leake (.861) caught a stroke and ran forty-three
consecutive balls without leaving the table.
In another hard-to-believe shutout, Jinny Reid
(.901) crushed Dave Bollnan (.500) 11-0.
Steve Mizerak (.892) came out second best in one
of the best played matches of the tournament.
Howard Vickery (.912) was trailing 8-10 with
Mizerak breaking. Mizerak didn't make anything on
the break and Vickery proceeded to run the next
three racks which included a kick-in during the
case game!
Although Don Polo (.843) pocketed 102 balls and
Danny DiLiberto (.746) pocketed just 53, Polo just
barely edged out DiLiberto 11-10.
In the best played match by both players, Earl
Strickland (.902) fell victim to Efren Reyes
(.927). Both players pocketed a total of 176 balls
and missed just two shots apiece.
Mike LeBron (.830) and Efren Reyes (.841) won the
Most Exciting Session Award.
With only three
players left in the tournament, Reyes jumped ahead
of LeBron 5-2. LeBron then never missed a shot as
he took the lead 10-6. (Now the fun began.) At
10-6, it appeared that LeBron was running out but
miscued! New score: 10-7. It now appeared that
LeBron was running out again but missed a very
easy shot. New score: 10-8. Once again, it
appeared that LeBron was running out but hooked

The tournament arena featured three tight pocketed
Gold Crowns with bleacher seating for about 200
spectators. The director and producer of "The Color
of Money", which is the sequel to "The Hustler",
along with star Tom Cruise were in attendance. They
came to meet players and experience a genuine
tournament.
Accu-Stats was on hand "sweating" matches and
showing off its new LED message display. After 1,696
racks and 13,675 balls pocketed, the results were
in. The U.S. Open produced fourteen "wire" matches,
three shutouts, and twenty .900 TPA's. Honorable
mention goes to Efren Reyes who continues to play
exceptional
9-ball by posting
the high TPA
tournament average of .879 which included five of
the tournament's twenty .900's.

the first match but needed another win to clinch the

Belinda Wins Again
Q-Master B i l l i a r d s added $2,000 t o the women's
d i v i s i o n o f the U.S. Open which was h e l d p r i o r t o
the men's event, November 1-3, 1985. Twenty women

himself and tried a masse1. New score: 10-9. Reyes
then made the 9-ball on the break! New score:
10-10. Reyes didn't make anything on the next
break and LeBron did run out. LeBron 11, Reyes 10.
What's Next?
Both Jimmy Reid (.948) and Mike LeBron (.843) had
one loss and were forced to play one last session
for the championship. With the score knotted at
5-5, LeBron (.843) missed a bank shot and never
stepped up to the table again! Reid (.948) ran the
rest of that rack and then very skillfully broke
and ran out the next five racks for the U.S. Open
victory!
The next Accu-Stats issue will feature "The North
Carolina Fall 9-Ball Classic" hosted by Rob's Roost
in Charlotte, North Carolina. The $10,000 added
event immediately followed the U.S. Open on November
12-16, 1985. Earl Strickland defeated Filipino Jose
Parica in the final match. For all the details, see
the next issue of Accu-Stats!
