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 Wal- Mac 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
