The One Pocket Final Four: Bill Skinner, Joe Ross, Alex Kanapilly and Sgt. John
Event #2 of the "2nd Annual Big Box Summer Series" at the Colorado Cue Club brought 17 players to battle it out for the One Pocket title. The format was a race to three on the winner’s side and race to two on the one loss side.

Cue Club regular John "Sgt John" Sandifer made quite a run through the winner’s side defeating Bill Skinner on his way to meet Joe Ross of Colorado Springs. Joe would then pass through a grueling hill-hill match with John to claim the hot seat.

Over on the one loss side Alex Kanapilly got by the one hole wizard Dave Gross 2-1 to meet Skinner. Alex’s run would end at fourth place though as he watched Bill Skinner win the set and move on to defeat Sgt John and double-dip Ross for the title.

One Pocket is a true test of many pool skills and we saw them on display this day. With the win Bill claimed the $375 top prize and elevated himself to second place in the "Miller All-Around" point standings behind the 10-Ball champion Santos Sambajon. The standings are bound to get more interesting with the upcoming $750 added 8-Ball on August 16 which we expect to be the largest field.

Once again the "Big Box Summer Series" is supported by Miller beer and we thank the Miller Girls for coming down.







Final Standings
1st  Bill Skinner $375 + 170 Points
2nd  Joe Ross $250 + 85 Point
3rd  John Sandifer $150 + 57 Points
4th  Alex Kanapilly $75 + 43 Points
Rest of the field 10 points each.


Pipken Takes Down APA Mile High Top Gun
July 26, 2008

The Colorado Cue Club welcomed 53 area APA players for it’s first "Mile High Top Gun" event. The event is an invitational and players were invited based on their spring session winning percentages. The area APA charter, Mile High Pool Leagues, provided the list of qualifying players and the Cue Club provided the venue and trophies for first, second, and third place.

The Mile High Top Gun Final Four: Robert Gleitz, Kris Pipken, Dave Rasmussen and Justin Ohm.
The format, which could be called ‘soft bracketing’, groups the different handicaps (2 thru 7) in the first round and plays out as a traditional double elimination tournament ensuring every skill level of a chance to at least get in the money.

Matching up in the finals of the winners side were Kris Pipken as a seven and Dave Rasmussen as a three. Pipken went on to win the set and claim the coveted hot seat. Dave went over to the one loss side to await the winner of Robert Gleitz, rated a four, and Justin Ohm who is also rated a four. Justin, who’s only loss thus far was to Pipken, went on to defeat Robert and Dave consecutively for another crack at Kris in the finals. However, this was Kris’ day as he would go on to claim the beautiful first place trophy. Congratulations to Kris, Justin, Dave and the rest of the players who finished in the money!

The summer session Mile High Top Gun will be at the Cue Club sometime in October so, players, watch for the announcement. We are also looking into providing a championship event inviting the “best of the best” Mile High Top Gun participants. Stay tuned.
