Minneapolis Billiard Club

Fall Classic Billiard Tournament

 Sept 19-21, 2014

10-Man Round Robin Format

Fred Lamers wins the 2014 Fall Classic by one point !!!

The Fall Classic billiard tournament held at The Minneapolis Billiard Club was living up to the hype on Sept. 19-21. Some of the best players in the midwest were here to do battle for the top prize and maybe some bragging rights. The players list for this 10 man round robin was a familiar one, with local players John Logan, Mickey Campbell , John Zech and Fred Lamers. Also from 4 other states were Gary Eake, Nam Cho, Travis Gallup, John Jacobson, Lupe Cruz and George Ashby.

As the chart began to fill out it was clear that Ashby, Cruz and Jacobson were in the drivers seat without a loss going into Sunday. Lamers had suffered a loss in his first match of the tournament on Friday 25-24 to local legend John Logan. Sunday's games for Lamers were not to be taken lightly, needing to win all three games to have a chance to win the tournament wasn't going to be easy. The first game against Cruz found both players struggling a bit but Lamers was to prevail 25-23. John Jacobson couldn't quite find his stroke in his match and fell to Lamers as well. That left only Ashby who picked up a loss from Cruz in the previous game 25-22, it was down to George and Fred in the last game of the long weekend. A very well played game by both players. The game was never really out of reach for either player but Lamers was not to be denied and beat Ashby to win this years Fall Classic.

MBC would like to thank all the players for coming out to play in this years event and would also like to thank those who supported our tournament, Greg Vavra, Mickey Campbell, MBC, David Levine and everyone who helped running this great event.
