Superb Event

Forty-six players arrived in Virginia Beach from all

parts of the country to compete in the 1st Annual

Gibbs Billiards 9-Ball Shootout and share in the

$22,700 purse. Denton Gibbs, Jr. produced,

sponsored, and hosted the major event and provided

every amenity possible for both the players and

spectators. Gibbs Billiards sweetened the pot by

$7,425 and stayed open 24 hours.

The event charged a $325 entry fee, paid twenty-four

places and provided excellent conditions. The

tournament arena featured four Gold Crowns with

bleachers running parallel. A restaurant was on the

premises serving food and drink.

Vi

Mathews Strings Nine

Grady Mathews lost his first match and lost his last

match, but strung nine victories in between! He

defeated LeBron, Williams, Davenport, Vickery,

Parica, Mizerak, Reid, Sigel, and Strickland. It

looked like he was ready to take it all but it took

a Buddy Hall to stop the fueled charge. This was

Hall's first major win of '85 after finishing second

in both Ohio and Atlantic City earlier this year.

His .899 TPA is this year's highest recorded

tournament average.

NOTABLE MATCHES Once again, as with each major tournament, we

The number in parentheses is the player's TPA

Grady Mathews (.727) got off to a good start for

after winning the lag, he broke and ran out the

first two racks. David Howard (.908) then kept

Mathews busy by serving up balls that Grady was

forced to kick at. He defeated Mathews 11-3 and

held him to pocketing just four more balls for the

rest of the session. Note: Mathews proceeded to

win the next nine sessions in a row!

While trailing 9-10, Mike LeBron (.841) made the

nine ball on the break, but scratched. LeBron

still won that rack and at 10-10, he made the nine

ball on the break again, and scratched again! Jr.

Harris (.802) won 11-10.

review the exciting matches worthy of note,

for that session.

Edgar White (.812) upended Steve Mizerak (.866) in

an 11-10 photo finish. As White made his charge

while behind 7-10, Mizerak missed one combination

and one bank, but it was just enough.

Paul Brienza (.820) won his first "wire" match of

the year over formidable Efren Reyes (.796),

Brienza had previously lost all five of his

sessions that were decided by one game.

Although he defeated Woody Woodhouse (.814) by an

11-5 margin, Bob Williaas (.861) had the dubious

distinction of scratching on the break four times

in a row.

Players' Preference A p o l l was taken to f ind out what b i l l i a r d c lo th tour ing 9 -ba l l professionals prefer red. The question that was posed to each of the f o r t y - s i x pros at the Gibbs Shootout was, "What b i l l i a r d c lo th would you prefer to play on in tournaments?" Simple enough, r i gh t? The responses were varied wi th comments pra is ing several types and brands such as, "This c loth r o l l s more t r u e . " , or "This i s the c lo th that I am used to and most confident w i t h . " , or "This c lo th i s easier to jump ba l ls w i t h . " After a l l was said and done, the consensus was twenty-f ive preferred Simonis while seventeen preferred other c lo ths o f various brands and composition, and four did not respond at a l l .

MORE STATS The Gibbs Shootout produced fifteen

•900's, fourteen "wire" matches, and no

shutouts. Mike Sigel's .958 was the high

TPA for a single session. Earl Strick­

land won the "Run Outs from the Break"

category with 34.3%. David Howard ranked

#1 in the "Ball on the Break" stat

(80%), but who's surprised? Luther

Lassiter never scratched on the break

but for those with twenty or more break

shots, Allen Hopkins had the most con­

trolled break scratching only once in

fifty-four breaks, 1.9% (9.4% was aver­

age). Paul Brienza made the nine ball on

the break 13.6% of the time (2.4% was

average).

first break. The next time he stepped to the table,

Hall was ahead 3-0. After two more racks with

nothing for Mathews to capitalize on, it spread to

5-0. Finally, Mathews had several opportunities to

close the gap, yet missed seversl makeable shots

pushing the score to 8-1. Mathews then made a mild

drive and with the score 9-3 Hall finally started to

miss shots and position. This allowed Mathews to

score and close the gap even more. At 9-6, Mathews

scratched on the break again. It was to be his last

chance for survival as Hall ran out and controlled

the next rack with a safety and eventually won 11-6.

NOTABLE MATCHES ?3^ (continued from page 3)

Even more incredible, Mike Gulyassy (.866) fell

victim to Terry Bell (.859) 11-10 in a session in

which Bell had the good fortune of making the nine

on the break four times including the case game!

What a rack! Larry Lisciotti (.732) and Jimmy Reid

(.901) volleyed for 21 turns during the session's

lsst rack before Reid finally scored and won 11-4.

In the most notable of "notable matches", Dave

Bollman (.800) and Rudolfo Luat (.863) were

knotted at 3-3. After a Luat kick, Bollman ran out

and then broke and ran out the next five racks

which would stsnd as the tournament high run! Two

racks later, Bollman led 10-4. Don't go away!

While Bollman experienced several unforeseen

events, Luat displayed some exceptional talent and

copped the win 11-10.

After trailing 4-6, Grady Mathews (.953) exploded

with outstanding play and held Kin Davenport

(•776) to pocketing just one more ball for the

rest of the session. Mathews won 11-6.

In the best played match by both players, Mike

Sigel (.958) stung Allen Hopkins (.895) with the

tournament high TPA for a single session. Sigel

won 11-6.

Grady Mathews (.913) continued his winning ways by

defeating Steve Mizerak (.793) after being down

4-6. Mathews won the next seven racks in which

Mizerak missed only one ball.

What's Next? The 10th Annual U.S. Open will be featured in the

next Accu-Stats issue. Q-Master Billisrds from

Norfolk, VA will host the event which is scheduled

for November 1-10, 1985.

Belinda Crowned

WPBA Champ

NEW LONDON, CT (9/13-15/85) - Belinda Campos Bearden captured the

coveted 7th Annual WPBA Championship 9-Ball Tournament nearly

coinciding with her most recent selection as the new President of the

WPBA. Bearden tallied wins over Simpson, Laura Smith, Alabama,

Haywood, and Debbie Smith before falling victim to Haywood. That loss

was soon avenged as she captured the title, a trophy, a Huebler Cue,

and $2,100.00.

Linda Haywood made a magnificent showing by defeating top seeds

Ogonowski, Billing, Bell, and Bearden. In a seguence of events with

different opponents, Haywood actually won 19 consecutive racks of

9-ball, a heretofore unheard of accomplishment! Sy 4 Dolly Eckstadt's

Gold Crown Billiards generously hosted the $7,000 event.The

in-the-money results are as follows:
