By popular demand from fans and players, Dragon Promotions is excited to announce the 3rd Annual Patriot Cup! For the 3rd time, Planet 9-Ball and Tampa FL will play host for the greatest and strongest team event in the USA where giants of the poolworld will collide.
The Patriot Cup is a pro team event where pros from the North take on the pros from the South. The teams compete in 9-Ball, Straight Pool, One Pocket, Bank Pool, Breaking Contest, 10 Ball, Doubles, and a 5 on 5 scotch doubles format where all the players from both team come to the table at one time. The first year the South won but the North came back last time and snatched victory from the jaws of defeat as they came back from a huge deficit to win the final game.
This year will have some new twists as the addition of one pro woman on each team. Also, there will be some new rookie players in the line up for both teams...soon to be announced!
Past players included the first champions from the South Nick Varner, Buddy Hall, Charlie Williams, Tommy Kennedy and Capt Ray Martin.
The defending champions this time are the North Team which last Patriot Cup's North Team comprised of Capt. Allen Hopkins, Rodney Morris, Corey Deuel, Tony Robles, and 2x Patriot Cup MVP Mika Immonen who saved the North last time around.
North 1 win South 1 win
There is already some heavy statements from both sides already as the hearts of the Northern players beat loudly while the muscles of the Southern players start to swell with pride.
Announcement of the players coming soon and new twists of this years format. The battle for USA supremacy starts Sept 30. Let the smack talk begin!
