Junior National Artistic Pool Champions Ascend in Arizona

Tom Rossman with Allison Hardwick

The 16th Annual Junior National Artistic Pool competition took place July 11-12 concurrently with the BEF Junior National 9-Ball Championships, held at the University of Arizona, Tucson. Once again, Tom “Dr. Cue” and Marty “Ms. Cue” Rossman provided the direction for participants to demonstrate their special cue sport skills. This special addition to the main event gave players of all four divisions an opportunity to take the artistic challenge. As always, it was an exciting and a highly anticipated event by young billiard enthusiasts.

Tom and Marty Rossman have continued their involvement with the junior artistic program for the 16th consecutive year. Thank you for your commitment and dedication.
