Congratulations to our Turning Stone Classic XXXII 9-Ball Open Champion, Shane Van Boening ($8,000), & our second chance winner Steve Fleming ($400). Also, to both of our $1,500 custom, engraved Joss Cue raffle winners, Scott Brown & D. Nixon as well as our autographed Aramith Pro Cup cue ball used in the final match winner Bill Keymel.
 
Now it's time for our Joss Northeast 9-Ball Tour's 23nd continuous regular season of events beginning on September 21 & 22 with "The Main Event XIII" at TJ's Classic Billiards in beautiful Waterville Maine. TJ's owners Steve Reynolds and Steve Claude are most deserving of our thanks for not only adding $2,000 to our event, but also allowing us the use of their beautiful room for the weekend. Why not show your thanks by coming to TJ's to participate in or just watch this great event, and also take a chance at winning a beautiful custom, engraved, collectible Joss Cue valued at $1,600! You don't even need to be present to win!! Also while at TJ's you can enjoy some great home cooked specials and a beer or two if you like. For additional info about TJ's please call them at 207-877-7665, and check out TJ's Classic Billiards on Facebook.

TJ's has arranged a special rate of $99, including free breakfast, (while they last) at Best Western just up the Interstate at 25 Main St, Waterville Me 04901, 207-873-0111. Make sure to mention the pool tournament at TJs to get this special rate. Also, there are 2 motels just down the street from TJ's.

This event at TJ's will consist of a $1500 added Saturday and Sunday Main Event (entry fee $120 for pro level – I will decide – or $70 for non pro level) and a $500 added second chance event on Sunday ($20 entry fee) only for those non pro level players eliminated from the main event on Saturday. All of our billiard room events are double elimination, races to 9 on the winners side and races to 7 on the one loss side! All of our events are open to all players in good standing.
 
For those of you coming to play, please arrive on Saturday September 21 BEFORE 11:30 AM in proper dress of NO T-shirts & NO shorts or sweat clothes please. Jeans, sneakers and a shirt with a collar works just fine at all of our billiard parlor events! If coming to watch, play will begin after sign in on Saturday and promptly at 11am on Sunday.
