28th Annual BEF Junior Nationals Concludes a Year of Records, Repeats and Remembrance by Earl Munson Photos Courtesy of JP Parmentier & Billiard Education Foundation

O

pected at next year’s 2017 BEF Junior Nationals again depending on table availability and participating player fields.” Another change to this year’s BEF Junior Nationals was the banquet night which was held this year on the third night of the tournament, Friday July 15th instead of the traditional first night of past. This change seemed to go well as the banquet hall was a buzz of excitement as players, family members, pros, sponsors, and BEF staff and volunteers were in attendance for a great meal, remembrance, awards and honors. A tearful audience gave remembrance by a watching a presentation of a touching collection of pictures of fellow BEF junior player, the late Brendan Crockett playing in past BEF Junior Nationals and WPA World Junior events. Mark Wilson of Lindenwood University a coach of Brendan and 2002 BCA Junior National Champion Beau Runningen, a close friend of the Crocketts, gave tearful speeches remembering the skilled billiard prodigy and honored him by awarding the newly named Brendan Crockett Character Awards.

n Saturday, July 16th, 2016 the Billiard Education Foundation (BEF) proudly concluded its 28th Annual Junior National 9-Ball Championships with its largest field of juniors in history. The record breaking event was held at the Renaissance Schaumburg Convention Center just outside of the windy city of Chicago, Illinois. For the third year in a row top juniors from each state made their yearly journey to this year’s most prestigious of all junior tournaments in which the venue was hosted alongside the 2016 Billiard Congress of America (BCA) Billiard & Home Leisure Expo. This year’s field represented 193 players from 39 qualifying events in 28 states. The four participating divisions included 18 & Under Boys (18UB), 18 & Under Girls (18UG), 14 & Under Boys (14UB) and 14 & Under Girls (14UG). This event is the only opportunity for U.S. billiard student-athletes to qualify to compete at the World Pool-Billiard Association (WPA) World Junior 9-Ball Championships, as well as for Team USA at the annual Atlantic Challenge Cup (ACC). This year’s junior nationals kicked off with its highly anticipated annual Adult-Youth Scotch Doubles tournament directed by Mel and Tammy Jo Leonard the night before on 2016 Brendan Crockett Character Award Recipients: Tuesday, July 12th.

The finals play for all divisions was held on Saturday July 16th. In an effort to stay more aligned with the WPA World events and the Olympics, the BEF awarded Gold, Silver and Bronze medals to the top four finishers of each division, in lieu of the past trophies. All medalists in the 18UB, 18UG and 14UB divisions qualified for the 2016 WPA World Junior 9-Ball Championships November 16-20 in Shanghai, China, along with the gold and silver medalists from the 14UG division. All BEF Junior National participants also qualify to be selected as potential nominees for the Atlantic Challenge Cup Team USA at the 2017 event being held in Europe next year. The future is very bright for our BEF junior program members as there are now more than ever before, so many high level competitive opportunities at the state, national, and international level. With the 18UG races shortened this year, it was very tense as the 2015 defending champion and 2015/2016 ACC Team USA member April “The Grinder” Larson from Bloomington, MN was knocked over to the one loss side of the preliminary bracket by fellow ACC Team USA teammate Emily Herpel from Freehold, NY.

A Billiard System for 3 Rail Kicks

by Mark Finkelstein Pro at Slate and Eastside Billiards, New York City; Instructional Columnist

I

have been working with a student who wants to learn billiards. Now you might be surprised to hear that I spent a lot of time in San Francisco in the early 80’s playing 3 cushion with Bud Harris, 1950’s US 3 cushion champion. Here is one of his systems that really works on a pool table. This system works best when the cue ball is on a long rail and the object ball is below the cue ball towards the corner pocket. Here in the first diagram is what that would look like on a table without all the other balls. What I want to do here is hit the opposite long rail, then the short rail, and make a billiard to the one ball at the first diamond on the 3rd rail. To figure this out, we need two sets of numbers, the cue ball numbers and the object ball and aim point numbers. It is well worth remembering these cue ball numbers because they come up in all sorts of billiards systems. In middle diagram I’ve put in the cue ball numbers in Red and the object ball numbers in Black. Here is what the table looks like with the numbers added: Now the cue ball in this diagram is starting from about 33 and our target number is 10 for a direct hit. We could use 11 if we wanted to hit the object ball on the high side or 9 if we are aiming for the low side. Here is the formula: Cue Ball Number MINUS Target Number = Aiming Number. So in our example we have 33 - 9 =24. If we aim at 24 using a some running english, and this is the part that you have to test on your table to determine exactly how much spin and speed you need, you will make the billiard on the target ball. Here is the final diagram showing the shot Please take this system to your table and try it. I think you will like how it works! 10 PQB August/September


BEF Loses a Family Member

T

he Billiard Education Foundation (BEF) is deeply saddened to learn of the passing of a member of its “family.” Brendan Crockett and his brother Jeff tragically lost their lives in a fatal car accident on June 28th, 2016. Brendan was only 21 years old, and his brother was 24. Brendan was a large part of our Junior Programs for many years. He won the 14 & Under Boys Division his first year competing in the 2009 Junior National 9-Ball Championships, and followed up with top three finishes the following four years. He proudly represented the BEF on the U.S. Team at the WPA World Junior 9-Ball Championships for five consecutive years from 2009 to 2013. Brendan was more than just a talented young player. He grew from an eager teenager to an intelligent, charming gentleman with true character and humility. His humor, willingness to work hard and ability to lead have been an important part of our programs. The BEF Family wishes to express their heartfelt condolences to Brendan’s family, friends and colleagues. He will be greatly missed by many. In an effort to memorialize Brendan and all that he stood for, action is in place to commemorate him during Junior Nationals by changing the name of the annual sportsmanship award to the Brendan Crockett Character Award presented by Lindenwood University.

About the Billiard Education Foundation (BEF) The BEF was formed in 1993 as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit charity committed to promoting a lifelong love of pool and

3-8-6 Drill

3 Balls. 8 Angles. 6 Questions.

T

he purpose of this exercise is to study various angles and learn more “outs” so you are better prepared at being able to see what is possible and also execute it. We don’t have ball-in-hand on every shot, so we need to know as many outs as possible from various angles, in case our opponent leaves us in less than ideal position or if we miss shape. Throw 3 balls (the 7, 8 and 9-ball) out on the table and mark them with hole reinforcer stickers. Place your angle template (diagram 3 or email me at Jacqueline.karol@yahoo.com to get an 11 x 17” full size template) by the 7-ball by lining the “line to the pocket” line up as shown and sliding the “object ball” under the 7. Now shoot the 7-ball from all 8 angles and run out. Afterwards, ask yourself these 6 questions: Would you rather be on the left side of the line to the pocket for the 7-ball or on the right, and why? Which of the 4 angles on that side do you prefer, and why? What side of the 8-ball do you want the cue ball to arrive, and why? What is the best target spot that you are envisioning the cue ball to arrive, and why? What is the exact path you will make the cue ball travel in, and why? What English and stroke will you use to execute this? For example, look at diagrams. The best side of the cue ball to be on when shooting the 7-ball in order to get to the 8-ball is the right side. The best angle is 30 degrees. You want to get shape on the left side of the line to the pocket on the 8 or be straight in. This gives you the highest margin of error and is the easiest way to shoot it leaving you the highest odds for running the table. You can do this drill with any 3 balls that you put on the table. This drill brings up lots of conversations and gives you a structured way to methodically practice and isolate shots so that you have more “outs” leading to you winning more games. 14 PQB August/September


Win a Piece of the Legend

C

elebrating Brett Favre’s Hall of Fame Career with Commemorative Pool Cues to benefit Favre 4 Hope Foundation and Alzheimer’s Foundation of America 2008 marked the infamous playoff game in which Matt Hasselbeck, former backup to Brett Favre, proclaimed his Seahawks would receive the ball in overtime, and win the game. The Packers went on to win that game with an interception returned for a touchdown by Al Harris. Although Favre had a large hand in that victory, he may have made an even larger impact the night before. On the eve of the Packers-Seahawks playoff showdown, Favre met with local business owner and Green Bay native, Joe Pechauer. Pechauer is the President and owner of J. Pechauer Custom Cues and Quality Billiards, a small family business serving the Green Bay area and billiards players worldwide for the last 53 years. The prior year, Pechauer had an idea to team up with Favre to raise money for a good cause. Pechauer designed and created a commemorative Favre pool cue that highlighted the star’s career. This time, Favre’s signature would join Pechauer’s on the 25 cues, a unique finishing touch used to identify a J. Pechauer product. The cue featured designs and inlays noting “The Game of His Life” against the Oakland Raiders after his father’s passing, his Superbowl win in 1996, MVP nods in ‘95, ‘96, and ’97, and (at the time) his claim as the All-time Passing Touchdown leader. These 25 cues and Brett Favre helped donate more than $40,000 to charities to date, such as Big Brother Big Sister, The Giving Tree, Breast Cancer, and many others. Unfortunately, the timing of these pool cues was rather peculiar, as Favre’s last season with the Packers was the 20072008 season. But now, the bitter taste of Brett Favre’s departure

is gone, the years of celebrating his illustrious career have begun, and his Hall of Fame induction is just around the corner. There are still three pool cues left to raise money for charity. Pechauer would like to donate the proceeds to the Favre 4 Hope Foundation and the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America. J. Pechauer Custom Cues has set up a Gofundme profile where anyone can donate to these two charities. Each dollar donated will count as one entry into a drawing for one of the commemorative Favre cues. The Gofundme profile will open August 1st and close September 1st, the final day of the Green Bay Packers preseason. “As a family business in a small town, we wanted to do something to highlight one of the greatest legends this city will ever see. We are hoping to send Favre to the Hall of Fame with a donation to his accredited foundation to show thanks for all he has done for our community and the world of sports,” Pechauer said.

I

n the tune up match on Sunday afternoon Reyes foreshadowed the finals to come when he ran eight and out in beating Van Boening and evening their records in this event at 4-1. As a result, there would be no ties – the winner of the Make It Happen Invitational would be the player with the best record. Game 1 The match opened with Van Boening scratching on his break, but he did not leave Reyes with a shot. After Van Boening hung a bank, Reyes kicked it in, erasing Van Boening’s foul. Reyes then fouled but Van Boening sold out and Reyes made a ball – so after several innings they were both scoreless. Van Boening ran two and, after Reyes missed a bank, he ran six and out to win game one. Game 2 Van Boening sold out and Reyes ran four balls. Reyes then played an intentional foul and Van Boening fouled as well, so the score was now 3 to -1 in Reyes’ favor. Reyes made a bank into a double carom (!) and ran five and out to even the match at 1-1. Game 3 Van Boening blundered with a scratch and Reyes ran four, made a combo/carom, and then completed his run of eight and out. Game 4 Van Boening left Reyes with a combo and Reyes made it to take a 1-0 lead. Van Boening then left Reyes with another combo and he made it, igniting a run of seven and out to win the game, 8 to -1. Reyes now led in the match 3 games to 1. Game 5 Van Boening made a combo, but was a bit unlucky as he had no other shot. Reyes made a ball for Van Boening and jawed a ball in his own pocket. Reyes later made that ball to trail in the game, 2 to 1. Reyes then sold out on a safety and Van Boening ran two balls. Reyes replied with a bank, but then missed badly and Van Boening ran four and out to win the game, 8-2. He now was behind in the match, 3-2. Game 6 Van Boening made a ball for Reyes, then in a subsequent turn he left Reyes with a shot and Efren ran four before hanging up 20 PQB August/September

a ball. Van Boening made that ball for Reyes, who was now ahead, 6-0. After Van Boening left Reyes with a shot, he made it, but then passed on a long shot that could have won the game, and the momentum changed. Van Boening opened his six ball run with a long rail bank, a long stop shot, and another bank. After Reyes left a ball near his own pocket, Van Boening made a super crossover bank to tie the score at 7-7. Van Boening left a ball near his pocket and he made it to win the game after Reyes’ takeout had left him with a shot. The match was now tied at three games each. Game 7 Reyes took an intentional foul, but Van Boening left him with a shot and he ran four to take a 3-0 lead. Reyes was provided with another offensive opportunity and he took full advantage of it, running five and out to win the game, 8-0, and the title. Reyes, 61, had beaten Van Boening, 32, who is arguably the best player in the world, in the game that Reyes is undisputedly the best ever. As a measure of Reyes’ firepower, nine of his 21 games won ended with long runs of 7 (3 times) and 8 (6 times), underscoring his skill at the game’s strongest move – running lots of balls!

“You Still Have Time”

N

ow there’s just three months to go before this year’s U.S. Open begins. That’s not much time. Must I remind everybody how quickly the tournament roster and hotel rooms filled last year when there was still one month to go? Don’t be left out. Make arrangements soon. We’ve expanded the roster to 160 players this year because we had a waiting list last year. The hotel did not get any bigger, so the hotel doesn’t have any more rooms than it had last year. The TV arena seating is outselling last year’s numbers, so reserve a good seat. The Behrman family has every intention of keeping this event going and growing for years to come. This event, in honor of the late Barry Behrman, is expected to be the best we’ve seen in many years. Pat Fleming is going to make sure of it. Last year, 128 players competed, many from around the world. We’re getting more requests from outside the United States for formal invitations to obtain Visas. This WPA sanctioned event has $75,000 in added money qualifying it as a “Tier 2” event $50,000 will go to the winner, as the rest of over $200,000 in prize money gets spread out to 48th place, which pays $2,000. The Sheraton Norfolk Waterside Hotel is excited about bringing us back. The hotel’s spacious ballroom will accommodate thirteen 9-foot Diamond pool tables and enough seating for over 500 spectators. They loved the U.S. Open last year and want us back. The Sheraton is again offering us extremely low room rates, especially for being in the heart of Norfolk. The hotel staff and the City of Norfolk, will do everything they can to make you feel welcome. The annual BCA Hall of Fame Banquet will be held at the Sheraton on Thursday, October 20.
