Also, our custom, engraved Joss Cue raffle winners Raphael Balverde ($1,500 Joss Cue) & Bob Stickles ($1,200 Joss Cue) as well as our autographed Aramith Pro Cup cue ball used in the final match winner Al (sorry Al, I lost the ticket with the full name).
The Joss Northeast 9-Ball Tour will kick off it's 21th continuous regular season events September 23 & 24 with "The Main Event XI" at TJ's Classic Billiards in beautiful Waterville Maine. TJ's owner Steve Reynolds is most deserving of our thanks for not only adding $2,000 to the event, but also allowing us the use of his beautiful room for the weekend. Why not show your thanks by coming to TJ's to participate in or just watch this great event, and also take a chance at winning a beautiful custom, engraved, collectible Joss Cue valued at $1,200! You don't even need to be present to win!! Also while at TJ's you can enjoy some great home cooked specials and a beer or two if you like. You could even make this a mini vacation as it will be approaching optimum leaf viewing season up here.

This event at TJ's will consist of a $1500 added Saturday and Sunday Main Event (entry fee $120 for pro level - I will decide - or $70 for non pro level) and a $500 added second chance event on Sunday ($20 entry fee) only for those non pro level players eliminated from the main event on Saturday. All of our events are open to all players in good standing.
