OK all...don't be too disappointed in me! I lost the finals and ended up finishing second. I played extremely well in the quarter and semi-finals...but ran out of gas in the finals!
My sincerest thanks to Taz who came out to Hollywood to be our tournament director. She is wonderful...and I just wouldn't have been as happy with anyone else in charge.
And huge thank yous to each and every one of you who purchased raffle tickets to support this tournament. Unfortunately, it was not an APA member who won the custom cue...but as a thank you, we did a second drawing so that an APA member could still receive a free lesson....and it was Ann Kato's name that was pulled out of the bucket. So congratulations to Ann!!!!
