WOMEN OF GRAND PRAIRIE (TX)
The American CueSports Alliance (ACS) celebrated the 10th Anniversary of its National Championships at the Las Vegas Tropicana, May 10-16. With a new title sponsor – Universal Cues – the ACS enjoyed a significant increase in the number of pool leagues sanctioning with the member-governed association in the 2013-2014 league year, resulting in a 20% jump in participants at the Nationals! With the jump in attendees, ideal dates in mid-May and the attractive location, many participants observed that these Championships will continue to grow significantly in 2015 and beyond! Singles action began at the first of the week with handicapped 9-ball. Dustin Gunia (Omaha, NE) recovered the Men’s 9-Ball Singles title he last won in 2012 by taking the hot seat from Richard Andrada (Denver, CO) – National Master Dustin racing to “10” and “Open” Richard racing to “7.” Andrada recovered to claim a finals spot against Gunia, and Andrada took the first set; but Gunia claimed the deciding set for the honors. On the distaff side Women’s 9-Ball Singles, “Open-status” Jacki Duggan (Virginia Beach, VA) – racing to 5 – took the undefeated route to the finals, completing her march with a win over Melinda Bailey (Fort Worth, TX) – racing to 6. But “Advanced-status” Bailey recovered to eliminate “National Master” Jessica Frideres [7], and then double-dipped Jacki Duggan in two sets for her first national title [and the first national title of the week gathered up by a member of the “Women of Grand Prairie [TX]” league]. In the 8-Ball Singles – with players of separate skill sets competing in “Standard”, “Open” and “Advanced” divisions – Tony
