 Info: August 15th event is last chance to qualify directly for a spot in a 2009 WPBA event
West Palm Beach, Fla. - July 06, 2009 - The new Flamingo Billiards Tour, a Women's Professional Billiards Association - Recognized Regional Tour, will host its premiere event on August 15, 2009 at Ultimate Billiards in Fort Pierce, Fla. This women's 9-Ball tournament is open to all professional and amateur players and is a one-day, modified double-elimination event.
The tournament marks the last opportunity for players to qualify directly for a 2009 WPBA event. The winner of the August tournament, or highest non-exempt finisher, will receive an automatic bid and paid entry to the WPBA Colorado Classic in September.
At least three more Flamingo Billiards Tour events will be held in 2009, with specific dates and locations to be confirmed. Beginning with the August event, players will accumulate points based on their tournament results, with the highest points winners being invited to the WPBA National Regional Championship in January 2010.
The Flamingo Billiards Tour is Florida's only WPBA-Recognized Regional Tour, filling the void left by the Ladies Spirit Tour, founded by Heather Barkley and Bonnie Coats. Mimi McAndrews, a Spirit Tour player, is the coordinator of the Flamingo Billiards Tour.
"We were all sad to see the Spirit Tour close," McAndrews said. "It won't be easy to fill Heather's shoes, but I am going to do my best to keep women's 9-ball and the WPBA-qualifying process alive and well in Florida."

| You Don't Know What You Don't Know - Back in the early 60's, when I began playing pool, there wasn't much help available. Mosconi had a little book out, and that was about it. Just like today, there were lots of great players around, but the unspoken attitude of that time was "I ain't tellin' nobody nuthin'." Many players felt that if they taught you their "secrets" you'd use that knowledge to take their money. Others felt that... |
What Matters? - Let's look at some of the vital qualities of better players. What does it take to get better? Beyond knowledge, technique, and experience, what matters? What might you change or improve that will raise your game - or at least raise your enjoyment of the game? Intention: To me, this is the number one ingredient in getting better at pool (or anything). You have to want to get better, and clearly intend it to happen. The more clear your intention, the more clear your results. Expect to improve and to play well. Plan for it. Doubt is the enemy... |
| Run The Rack - Recently, a player asked for advice on reaching his goal of running his first rack of balls. He has not been playing very long, but has been to pool school, so he has a fairly clear understanding of ball behavior, and his ball pocketing skills are coming up. Naturally, he wants to run some balls and see some improvement. To help reach this goal, and to become more comfortable running balls, here's the approach I outlined: I suggested he set the goal as "run a random rack... |
