Windy City Teams Prevail at 35th BCAPL Nationals

More divisions and events were created for players at this year’s (35th) BCAPL National 8-Ball Championships. With the addition of the Men’s and Women’s 9-Ball Open Singles divisions, two new 9-ball team divisions were added to the end of the 10-day extravaganza so players could have more events in which to participate. A new 8-Ball Mixed Advanced division was also created to allow more teams to compete as well.

Of the nine total 8-ball and 9-ball team divisions, three of the winning teams came from the Chicago area. In the Men’s Mixed 8-Ball Open Team division, the Chicago team Off Constantly was not off at all. They went undefeated through the field of 618 teams with only a couple close matches. In the finals, they bested The Little Rascals from Downey, California by a devastating score of 13 to 4. “This was our first time playing nationals together,” said Off Constantly team captain Tony Gahala.

In the Women’s Open 8-Ball Team division, T’s Bar from Pueblo, Colorado went undefeated through the 126 team field to take home the gold. This solid team of ladies gave up very few games in their matches and the finals were no exception. Even the veteran Wisconsin ladies team of Jackson Cues only won two games in the final match. It was a well earned victory for T’s Bar.

The new Mixed Advanced 8-Ball Team, Riverside Gators from Lancaster, Pennsylvania, almost let the prize slip through their fingers when the Texas Assassins came for them. In a two-set finale, the Assassins handily took the first set 11 to 6. With Texas state champions on the roster and a previous Texas State team championship under their belts, they were poised for a comeback. Little did they know, the Gators were hungry for the win. With Men’s Senior Singles runner-up Bill McCoy on their team, Riverside Gators pulled out a close win in the second set 11 to 9.

Also hailing from Chicago and playing out of the same pool room as the Men’s Mixed 8-Ball Open Team Champions is the Women’s Masters 8-Ball team The Domin8’ers. The tenacity these ladies displayed paid off. They lost their second round to the New York Dolls and fought through the field for a rematch. Hill-hill in the first set, a showdown took place between team captains Gina Kim-Lipsky of the Dolls and Jacqui Herrera -Schroeder of the Domin8’ers.
