With the Singles competition in the history books, the VNEA was well prepared to recognize them at the ever-popular VNEA Team Opening Ceremonies Celebration. Gary Benson, Tournament Director and emcee, was welcomed by over 3,000 players attending this incredible show which opened with a colorful parade of flags from around the world, and the Singles Awards Presentation to honor the top players accomplishments. Once all of the states and countries were acknowledged and the Singles winners were presented with their coveted Charlie awards, the VNEA had a drawing for a Valley Home Pool Table. The lucky winner was Michael Hou from Albuquerque, New Mexico and was awarded the table by Valley’s Dave Courington. With 85 members already enshrined in the hall, it was time for the VNEA to add 5 more names to the prestigious “VNEA Hall of Fame”. Receiving this tremendous honor, along with a beautiful Hall of Fame jacket, certificate and limited edition VNEA Hall of Fame trading card set, were the following inductees: • • • • •
Roger Anderson - Inglis Coin Machine (ID) Bill Breuer Sr. - Tri Valley Vending (AK) Barb Carr - SML Entertainment (Alberta) Donavon Mickelson - C & N Sales (MN) Mick Storey - BMW Billiards (CO)
When the 2011 “Charlie’s” had all found a home, it was time to “kick it up a notch” with some serious VNEA flair starting with an incredible fireworks celebration that would make most country fairs green with envy. And then as the last fireworks exploded over the Vegas strip, the rock & roll sounds of “The Crush” filled the desert air. This popular, high energy band rocked the lot well into the night entertaining the crowd with their flashy, Vegas style show. The Team competition kicked off Tuesday morning right on schedule. Nearly 600 teams participated in the Team events at this 31st Annual Championships. Results of the Intermediate, Regular and Sports Team events were as follows:

VNEA President’s Reception. Charter Holders and special dignitaries were invited to the annual President’s Reception earlier in the week in honor of VNEA President Mike Fowler from Springfield, Illinois. An entertaining pianist from a nearby “Dualing Piano’s” Bar warmed up the “Top of the Riv’s” crowd during the events popular Cocktail Hour. His music served as a relaxing backdrop for the evening. The VNEA also made available four tables stocked full of VNEA “Silent Auction” items. The guests love purchasing these unique treasures and the VNEA Junior Program loves the generous donation. Thanks to everyone who participated. 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 Chris Warren (Century Gaming - MT), Bruce & John McKaskill (Bannock Music - ID) and outgoing President Mike Fowler. Congratulations to these deserving individuals. Also highlighted at the reception was the presentation of the 2011 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 was two longtime friends of the recipient, Anthony Falcigno (FL) and Dave Warner (PA). Accepting the award at this years ceremony was Ed Borgia from Warner Coin in Erie, Pennsylvania. Congratulations, Ed. The President’s Choice Award, presented by current VNEA President Mike Fowler, was awarded to longtime OCMA Executive Director David Corey and his beautiful wife Kim. Mike honored his friends for all of the work that they have done with the Ohio Association and the VNEA. Congratulations David and Kim 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 strong which made it very difficult to pick a winner. The ultimate winner was 8-Ball Swirl from Union Music in Harper Woods, Michigan whose members included Shannon Tonjes, Sherryl Gipson, Rebecca Venson and Gwen Kelly. On the men’s side, Hole Hunters from WalMac Amusements in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada captured first prize. Team members included Sunjeev Paul, Andreas Eichmuller, Andrew Yaworski, Jeff Wanless, Adam Lohan and Scott Atkinson. Free “Team Photos” were e-mailed to
8-Ball Swirl every entry and the winners were given “Free Show Tickets”. 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. Tom “Dr. Cue” Rossman brought his Artistic Pool show to the big VNEA show. The Doctors fast-paced, energy filled shows always draws a crowd as he grips you with his highly skilled pool artistry and witty lingo. The 17th Annual VNEA International Artistic Pool Championship created quite a stir as hundreds of entries from around the world embraced the idea of the Dr. Cue Classic Artistic Pool Tour with its low entry fees, guaranteed prize fund, and an opportunity to become part of a much bigger picture for this growing sport. Players have long expressed a desire to take their passion for “Artistic Pool” to the next level and beyond. In this regard, a new format was designed by the Doctor... a simple LAG CONTEST. By simplifying the contest, everyone in the tournament could take a shot at the title and have a great chance of winning. When the final playoffs were done, we had winners in Shootout #1 (during Singles) and Shootout #2 (during Teams). Congratulations are in order for all players that “took the Artistic Pool challenge”. Those players capturing titles were as follows: Shootout #1: 1st - Isaac Ossoric (Madrid, Spain) - $200 2nd - Jerrod Frideres (Ft. Dodge, IA) - $125 Shootout #2: 1st - Jim Stoner (Brownsburg, IN) - $200 2nd - Jerrod Frideres (Ft. Dodge, IA) - $125
On Wednesday, June 1st, the World’s #1 Exhibition Pool Player Dave “Ginger Wizard” Pearson attempted to break a Guinness World Record by clearing 10 racks of 15 balls in less than 8:51.1 seconds. With a nice crowd cheering Dave on, he gave several gallant efforts toward breaking the record although he came up just seconds short on his best attempt. The crowd loved it and Dave was incredible.
included: Connoisseur of Custom Cues, Discount Custom Leather, Fisher Cues, Frank’s Center, GW Collection, J & J America, Omega Billiards, On-Site Stress Relief, Palmer Cues, Pechauer Cues and The Custom Cue Connection.
Another very worthwhile event took place during the 31st Annual event - The VNEA “Cues For Kids” Program. Many gracious companies donated cues, cases, clothing, etc. to be raffled off during the tournament with the proceeds going directly to the growing VNEA Junior Program. Thank you very much to the following companies that donated merchandise:
On top of everything that the sponsors do for the tournament, nothing is more rewarding for the players than the Daily Cue Raffles that take place on 6 different occasions. Thousands of dollars of cues are given away at this event thanks to Tournament Sponsors Valley and Omega Cues.
VALLEY Connoisseur Of Custom Cues Discount Custom Leather Fantom Cues Fisher Cues Frank’s Center GW Cues J & J America OMEGA BILLIARDS Palmer Cues Pechauer Cues The Custom Cue Connection The Team competition concluded in the early afternoon on June 4th. It was now time to start preparing for the highly anticipated 31st Annual VNEA Awards Banquet and Entertainment Extravaganza. When the doors opened at 5:30 that evening, the players were greeted to a stage and surrounding that looked like it came from a Hollywood set. With an ultra-modern look, constantly changing strobe-type lighting and a fog-machine puffing at every award winners entrance, the set stole the show from the get-go! As always, the players were treated to their pick of over a dozen beverage stations, and the great sounds of the Blues Brothers. Also, an incredible buffet style dinner was served to the party-goers. The act entertained the crowd throughout the hour long cocktail party and then hung around to greet the players and have their pictures taken with them. Once again serving as the 31st Annual emcee was VNEA’s Director of Marketing & Promotions Brian Elliott. Brian made sure that each and every award winner received their accolades and with the brilliantly lit set, everyone who stepped on the stage knew that they were part of something special. An incredibly entertaining slide show of the weeks activities was compilated by Britt Pearson Photography of Las Vegas which documented a lot of the weeks tournament festivities and this was shown to the party goers to great crowd approval. Gregg Elliott, VNEA Executive Director, acknowledged the remarkable Manufacturer/Supplier members that help support the growth of the VNEA International Championships by displaying their products during the tournament. They
Sponsoring this years championships were: Valley • Omega Billiards
Every year the VNEA acknowledges some special people behind the scenes who work incredibly hard throughout the tournament. The following people were awarded beautiful plaques for their hard work: • Statistician Of The Year - Barry Cooper • Set-Up Person Of The Year - Chuck Kiss • Referee Of The Year - Amy Roche Valley continued their support of the Annual VNEA Championships by giving away a phenomenal Valley Home Pool Table at the banquet. Jarmo Huovineu, from Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada, was the lucky winner of the beautiful table. If the audience wasn’t entertained enough at this point, then they were certainly in for a big, jolt of funny which came in the form of professional comedian Alonzo Bodden. Alonzo is the winner of the hit television show “Last Comic Standing” and he was also a winner with our pool playing crowd. His material was hilariously fitting and his interaction with our crowd was priceless! There could not have been a better way to end the show! Another successful event was in the books and all of us at the VNEA would like to thank every one of our players for their continued support and we promise the future of your Association is going to be
GREAT!
