“CLASSIC” CHAMPIONS CROWNED ON DR. CUE ARTISTIC POOL TOUR

     The Dr. Cue Classic Artistic Pool Tour completed its first 4 events for 2007 with a record 500+ entries, guaranteed payouts of $13,200 and a sundry of award presentations to the top finishers.  It all started with the BCAPL National Artistic Pool Championship in the middle of May followed by the VNEA International Artistic Pool Championship in late May / early June, the ACS National Artistic Pool Championship two weeks later, and the APA National Artistic Pool Championship in late August.  All events were held at the Riviera Hotel / Casino in Las Vegas, NV.
 
     At each event the top 9 scoring men and the top 3 scoring women from the preliminary rounds competed in playoff rounds to determine the final 12 positions of finish and respective monetary payouts.   All tour stops were done as part of a multi-faceted schedule of four foundational league events and the signature “grand finale” on January 5, 6, and 7, 2008        in Louisville, KY called the Dr. Cue Classic “Artistic” Cup.

      Each of the league stops guaranteed $1000 for 1st place, awards to the top 4 positions of finish, and an honorary designation to each participant as an APPA (Artistic Pool Playing Artists) player.  4 players from each of the 4 league affiliations received a reduced entry option to the Dr. Cue Classic “Artistic” Cup by virtue of their respective positions of finish and a specific entry timeline process.

     The “Artistic” Cup event presents a guaranteed prize fund of over $20,000 with $5000 paid out for 1st place and $100 minimum for finishing in last place.   Special player and audience prizes / give – a – ways, along with entertaining surprises for everyone attending, highlight
the special amenities of the artistic pool experience in Louisville.

     Marty and I want to thank each league that worked with us in association with our tour and for contributing monetary support ($500 added to respective prize funds) and for provision of venue / award services…all a huge factor in making this tour concept a resounding success.
