Randy “Nice Try” Smith Took’em All Down!
The Pool Players of The Brookes’ Billiard Club (PPB) hosted an 8-Ball Singles tournament on Saturday November 16, 2024 in HOA1’s Catalina Recreation Center (CRC) Billiards Room. Thank you PPB for sponsoring this tournament. The format of this 8-Ball Singles Tournament was double elimination. This is the second in a series of five PPB 8-Ball tournaments used for qualifying into the PPB’s first 8-Ball Club Championship.
Tournament Director was Joe Giammarino. The following field of fifteen players showed up to compete in the game of 8-Ball singles. Lowell “8-Ball” Hegg, Randy “Nice Try” Smith, Dick “You’re Not Going To Like This” Dunbar, Tony “The Snake” Cardillo, Bill Webster, Joe “Ball Breaker” Vidmar, Dan “Rambo” Sollin, Fred “The Baker” Dianda, Rodger “Pocket Dodger” Beard, Russ “Long Shot” Doering, Steve Wiley, Phelps “Montana” L’Hommedieu, Dominic “The Doctor” Borland, Dave Parker, and Ted Duma.
Results:
1st – Randy “Nice Try” Smith – Never Lost! 5 Wins 0 Losses
2nd – Dave Parker – Nice 2 Ball Kick Shot! 6 Wins 2 Losses
3rd – Tony “The Snake” Cardillo – In the Chase. 3 Wins 2 Losses
4th – Joe “Ball Breaker” Vidmar – Still in the Picture! 3 Wins 2 Losses
Recap:
Randy “Nice Try” Smith bulldozed through a field of fifteen on his way to victory by defeating these five PPB members in this order Steve Wiley, Fred Dianda, Dick Dunbar, Tony Cardillo, and finally Dave Parker. In the finals against Dave Parker, Randy watched as Dave ran down to the eight-ball only to end up with difficult shot on the eight ball and barely missed. This left Randy with four of his object balls and the eight left on the table. Randy flawlessly ran out for the win. Congrats Randy “Nice Try” Smith!
Sponsor’s Gift Winners: Tony Cardillo and Dan Sollin.
