Viking Tour Impresses Goose Creek

Viking Tour Impresses Goose CreekWith only ten days’ notice to inform players about the Goose Creek, SC, tournament, the Viking Tour’s one-of-a-kind promotional program came through with flying colors, proving its strength in promoting 9-ball tournaments.
Fifty-one players showed their support for the event at the Weekends Pub in Goose Creek. Room owners Pat Scott and Herman Stiles stated they were impressed with the turnout of players and spectators alike and agreed to host additional Viking Cue 9-Ball Tour events in the near future. They stated the event was well received and were very impressed with the professional tournament direction and organization of the Viking Cue 9-Ball Tour director, Mike Janis.Weekends Pub is absolutely huge, featuring 21 seven-foot bar tables, a full bar and menu, and a large stage with live bands on most weekends. The pool tables are a minimum of 10 feet apart, which was absolutely awesome for the players and spectators. Of the 51 players in the event, 6 junior players and 6 women took advantage of the free entry and tour card fees offered in the new program from the Viking Tour. Additionally, three military discounts, another new program from the Viking Tour, of free tour card fees were taken advantage of at the event. Two Air Force and one Navy player participated in the event as a result of the Active Military Discounts program. Because it was new territory, the Viking Tour also offered a $10 discount for any current league player at the Goose Creek event, and 18 local league players stepped up for the challenge. The event was played on 21 seven-foot bar-size tables, which were open with players not paying any quarters. Because of the large amount of tables offered by Weekends Pub, the tour was able to get down to only eight players returning at 1 p.m. Sunday for the open division play. At noon Sunday, the $500-added amateur event begins. The final eight players are: Winners’ Bracket:Larry Jackson vs. Joe RossmanJohn Stallings vs. Donnie Seagraves Jr. One-Loss SideMike Staubes vs. Jimmy LewellynLeil Gay vs. Val Cruz (Melchor Benton-Cruz) The event paid 12 places, and the finishers in the 9-12 position were:John Rose of the US NAVY - Fort Charleston, SCBilly Sikes - Savannah, GAJeff Haton - Summerville, SCDaniel Kusnerak - Hickory, NC
