2009 APA National Team Championships

 

We hope you enjoy these photos, taken at the 2009 National Team Championships - the theme this year was "Self Image"

First, the teams.  Gotta get photos of the teams before they've been in Vegas too long, right?

         

 

We then asked each team to come up with a single word that describes their team, and portray that word in their pose.  The words they chose were:

  1. Thinkers

  2. Focused

  3. Drunk

  4. Family

  5. Horny

  6. Cheers

How many of these descriptions can you match to the photos below?

         

 

We made them do these poses, so they would have something to talk about as they met each other.  We got them to do it by holding their travel money hostage.  The 9-Ball teams hit it off real well, and ended up following each other's progress through the tournament...

 

 

Some of these players worked hard on their self image all week long...

                                         

 

This is where they played...

 

You can't tell in the photo above, but there were a LOT of people in the room!

 

Let's hope the camera doesn't always catch a player's TRUE self image, though...
