Thank you to Bo's Bar and Billiards for sponsoring our Season Opener, as well as a big thank you to Narragansett Beer for their added Prize Payouts.
We also remember all those lost and to those affected by the 9/11 tragedy and our prayers and thoughts go to those whose lives were lost, their families, and friends.
Now for the results:

Payouts:
1st: $360.00
2nd: $250.00

4th: 115.00
New-comer Chris Ciosek worked his way through the winner's bracket to the hot seat match, taking on notables, Danny Pavao, Mike Selig, Tsephel Tenzin, until he met with Tsephel's brother, Choneyi Tenzin, who sent Chris to the one-loss side. Chris then played Stacie only to fall to her, but not before placing 3rd. Great job, Chris, and welcome to “Ride the 9!”
Derrick Morgado, after returning from his trip to Vegas, continued his hot-streak, even after losing his first match to Tj Perrino. Derrick worked hard through the one-loss side, even taking on Michael Minichello (Open player: winning 3-1). Derrick, however, could not out-play Stacie Bourbeau.
The Tenzin brothers took turns playing Stacie Bourbeau (2nd Place), as she fell one match short of the hot-seat match losing to Choneyi Tenzin. However, she did send Tsephel Tenzin home but not before he cashed in 4th. Stacie's consistency and abilities have not gone unnoticed. Stacie was the first female to Double-dip our tour and walk away with a first-place prize last season.
Our raffle winners include:
Bill Cote: Free Entry for the ENTIRE SEASON 2011-2012
Michael Minichello: J. Pechauer Cue
Chris Ciosek: CueShark Pup
