Accu-Stats 8-Ball Invitational By popular demand, Accu-Stats brings you world class 8-ball. “Round Robin” is the format, which means that each player plays every other player, and the one with the most wins, wins. In case of a tie there is a playoff. But more on that later. Six players participated. As Reyes, Immonen, Griffis, and Frank were the final four, in that order, in the last pro 8-ball event, they were invited. Archer and Bustamante were added just to mix it up a little. Roger Griffis played run out all week. If you want to see text book 8-ball, his opening matches, as you can see by the scores, were pretty impressive.

really well through the racks, but to no avail. The good news here is, he still shows us how to ‘get there from here.’ Complemented with
commentary from Accu-Stats’ own, Bill “Cardone,” you will learn from these. Mika Immonen showed great talent throughout this series. In fact against Efren, he never missed a ball. And lost! How? Check out 8B01-13. Bustamante also touted great technique. In one game, he made 4 stripes on the break, and took solids. So now to finals day. Roger had to play Francisco. If Roger won, he would be 5 and 0 - an automatic winner. Bustey couldn’t win as he was 2 and 2. But, he could stop Roger at 4 and 1 - the same record as Reyes. Alas, Roger lost. This forced a playoff with Efren. The rest, as they say, is history. See it to believe it! Only from Accu-Stats. Additional booth analysis from Tony Annigoni and “8-Ball” Larry Schwartz.
