Turning Stone Classic XXV 9-Ball Open

Mike Zuglan's Joss Northeast 9-Ball Tour and Turning Stone Casino Resort are proud to present The $25,000 Added "Turning Stone Classic XXV 9-Ball Open". Turning Stone has once again most generously invited us to compete in their beautiful and spacious Event Center which is one of the best arenas in the world. There is not a bad seat in the house and multiple matches can be viewed comfortably from everywhere. The intimate layout in this world class arena allows you to mingle with your favorite players and lets you feel like you are a part of the action as well. Turning Stone Resort & Casino is a full service resort with everything needed for a relaxing, fun filled and enjoyable experience. Check them out at www.turningstone.com

 

Here is a little history of our great events at Turning Stone. To date we have held, in order of added money, one $15,000 added 96 player event, two $20,400 added 32 player Invitationals, twenty-one $25,000 added 128 player and one $50,000 added 128 player events. All fields were filled to capacity with a waiting list. Now for the 25th time, there will again be a full roster of 128 players competing for the title. As always, the field includes a wide range of talent from our regular tour players to some of the best in the game. The complete current list (subject to change) is now available on our site www.joss9balltour.com . There you will also find our current 2015-2016 season schedule, results and all other pertinent tour information. Our next regular season event will be stop # 9 at Salt City Billiards in Syracuse NY immediately following XXV on January 16-17, 2016, and our regular season will continue on from there until June. Our $25,000 added "Turning Stone Classic XXVI 9-Ball Open", Season Finale, will be August 25-28, 2016. I will begin taking entries for that event at this event in January and not before. FYI, there is every reason to believe that the August 2016 Season Finale will fill to capacity many month prior to the event, so seriously interested players need to pay their entry fee to avoid most definitely being shut out. 

 

Once again at Turning Stone there will be a "second chance" tournament on Sunday January 10th at 10AM. This is an event for those Non Pro level players (I will decide) eliminated from the main event. The event format will be as follows: $60 Entry Fee - 32 Player Max - same rules as main event - Single Elimination - Races to 4, best 2 of 3 sets, with the deciding set being a single game sudden death. This means that if each player wins a race to 4, there will be a lag for the break and a 1 game playoff to determine the match winner. Entries will be taken for this tournament as players are eliminated from the main event and will be treated as first paid - first in until the event is full.

 

The equipment for our world class event will once again be 16 Diamond Pro tables covered with 860 Simonis ("The Cloth Of Champions") tournament blue cloth. We will again be using the new Aramith Tournament balls with Pro Cup cue balls. And you can thank Aramith and specifically Ivan Lee for stepping in to most generously provide us with the best balls on the planet! All items are for sale in tournament used condition, and only seriously interested parties are urged to contact Mike Zuglan immediately at 518-356-7163 for info and pricing. 

 

As always, fans coming to Turning Stone for our event will be treated to Free Admission, Free collectible posters, which have all the previous winners listed (while supplies last & can be viewed now at www.joss9balltour.com and on Face Book at Mike Zuglan's Joss Northeast 9-Ball Tour page), $10 casino Free Plays to players and fans, and some of the best pool you will ever see. All of this is brought to you courtesy of Turning Stone Resort & Casino and the Joss Northeast 9-Ball Tour!
