Louie Vickio said, “We are answering a lot of questions on our web site every day and there’s a ton of interest from everybody we speak to, but we felt that this would be a good way to have an interactive web chat that we could document and use to address concerns of potential players and spectators. We see this live chat as a way for everybody to get to know us better and see what we and the Galveston World Classic are all about and the direction that we wish to go.”

Fego Foils Tri-State Billiards Field

Posted by admin as Billiard News

Tri-State Tour / New York, NY

by Lea Andrews

After getting a wake-up call in the first set of the true double-elimination finals of the Tri-State Tour event June 27-28, Joe Fego played his way to victory in the second set. Fego was among the field of 39 players who gathered for the $1,000-added A-D event at Amsterdam Billiards in New York, NY.

B-ranked Fego found himself in the hot seat match following a 7-4 win over C+-ranked Michael Aro. Joining him was A-ranked Michael Tosado, who was coming off a strong 7-3 win over B+-ranked Christian Smith. Fego, though, turned things around on Tosado, sending him west 7-3.

On the one-loss side, B players were ousting the A players, as Andrew Kane put Lionel Rivera into ninth with a score of 7-5, and B+-ranked Trevor Heal did the same to A+-ranked Jerry Tarantola 7-6. One A player went on, though, as Daniel Dagabot moved past Tiago Abrantes 7-5, but he couldn’t get past Kane in the next round, and he landed in seventh with a score of 7-5. Joining him was C-ranked Mike Scholven, who fell to Heal 8-3. It was the end of the road for Heal and Kane, though, as Smith took down Heal 7-4 and Aro sped through Kane 7-2.

But Smith proved too much for Aro, and he ended up in fourth 7-4 while Smith moved on to the one-loss semifinals. There he faced Tosado, who’d spent the entire weekend in the winners’ bracket and was ready to go back. He did just that, finishing off Smith 7-4 and moving on to his task of double-dipping Fego.

From the start, Tosado seemed to be on his way. He took the first set 7-4 and got ready for his win, but he didn’t have the same opponent in the second set. Fego upped his game and didn’t let up, earning first place with a 7-1 win.

After getting a wake-up call in the first set of the true double-elimination finals of the Tri-State Tour event June 27-28, Joe Fego played his way to victory in the second set.
