The team of Darrel Bednarek & Brandon Keiser went 4-0 to take the hot seat and wait it out on the scotch side.

Tying Eric at 60 was Steve Blackburn, who scored 38! The top 10 players advanced to the 3rd round and Eric got 30 to set a new record for total points with 90! Also passing the old record was Steve Blackburn who added 20 for a total score of 80! Chris Negrin scored 19 for a total of 49 but Paul scored 12 this time for a total score of 50 to barely make it to the top 3!

Doc’s Gang went 6-0 before losing to DILLIGAF and finishing 7-2. They also had the longest winning streak of the tournament and most overall wins! DILLIGAF went 5-2 and lead all teams with a 69% win ratio and held their opponents to an average score of just 43 points! Going undefeated was Shoot the Moon and the Brady Bunch who got to meet up on Sunday at 2 to battle it out on the winner’s side! Shoot the Moon defeated DILLIGAF twice, the first time 55-21 with 3 10-0s holding Jason to zero! Oscar Avila Sr was the tournament MVP going 15-1 while outscoring his opponents 157-42 for the Mixed Nuts!

On Sunday the action started at 10am with a continuation of the Championships and a new event, the 2nd Chance Tournament. 6 teams participated in the second chance with Pete Williams, Harold Lyons & Laura Boothroyd of Evil Ways defeating Curtis Neal, Joe Granillo & Amado Martinez of Chicken Dicks by coin flip as they decided to split the cash at $150 each.

DILLIGAF started off Sunday with 3 straight wins vs Tough Times, Doc’s Gang and My Two Dads, winning each by more than 30 points to close out the left side of the bracket and await the loser between Shoot the Moon & the Brady Bunch. The Brady Bunch won it in 7 games with a 20-4 run in games 6-7 to close it out 63-41. The loss by Shoot the Moon set up a rematch against DILLIGAF. It was win or go home. DILLIGAF came on strong taking the first round 30-18 but the Moons went 40-10 to take a 58-40 lead with 2 games to go. Darren put it away with a 10-1 against Steve to take a 68-41 lead and the win! Now for another rematch, this time the Moons Vs the Bradys. In the first match the Brady Bunch had a 57-49 lead after 7 games but Darren & Eugene got a pair of 10-2s to pull out the win 69-61 to set up another rematch! In the first round the Bradys took a 22-19 lead with a pair of 10s. In the next round it was the Moons turn with a 23-19 run to take a 1 point lead going into the 3rd round for the 3x Champs! In the 3rd round Anthony defeated Darren 10-7 to take back the lead which set up Chris Miller to win it all with a 10-2 run vs Phil Anderson and become the Spring 2014 AZPL State Champions!!!

Fall 2013 Two Lefts Make It Right

2 Lefts Make It Right started at 7pm Saturday and started their run by facing off against Chris Negrin’s other team, It’s Like a Nightmare, which it probably was as Chris sat on the sidelines and watched his teammates battle it out.  Ryan Levengood hit an 8-ball break to propel 2 Lefts to a 70-54 win.  Their next match was against DILLIGAF.  After going down 34-21 after 4 games they went on a 40-10 run to win 61-44 in 8 games setting up their first of three games vs Tough Times.  After winning 5 out of 6 they had a 56-42 point advantage heading into the third round.  Tough Times went on a 30-12 run to win 69-68 straight up and send them to the loser’s side to battle it out.  Their next match was a rematch against DILLIGAF.  This time it came down to the wire with a 68-66 nail-biter victory to take the top spot on the losers side setting up a rematch vs Tough Times!  In the first match it was tied at 17 after 2 games before going on a 50-20 run to win 67-40 in 7 games.  In the second match, not so much.  Like the game before it was tied at 17 after 2 games but this time it was Tough Times as Terry Lemke hit an 8-ball break to get a 28-17 lead heading into round two.  After 6 games it was tied up at 54.  Can’t get any closer than that.  After trading wins it was a 3-point spread with one game to go.  Win or lose.  That simple.  Scott Gwilliam took the stage against Kevin Phillips and let out victorious yell after a 10-2 win to win the 32^nd AZPL State Championship and almost $1700!!! 

Summer 2013 Evil Ways

Finishing in 2^nd place in their division they led off in the #7 spot and got a 72-46 win over Beach Patrol that finished in 7 games.  Next up was the team that took first place over them, Dazed & Confused.  Curtis Neal & Joe Granillo got a quick pair of wins before taking a 23-20 lead after the first round.  Pete started the 2^nd round with a win to give Evil Ways their first lead of the match.  Dawn Atokuku defeated Laura in a battle of MVPs 10-6 to give the Dazed the lead but it wouldn’t hold as Harold defeated Curtis 10-1 to take a 6-point lead.  Dazed pulled within 2 points but wouldn’t get closer as Evil Ways would eventually win 69-65.  Up next was the No 1 team in the league, Doc’s Gang.  They shut Doc’s Gang down, taking a 50-23 lead after 5 games.  Doc Rogers snapped the streak with a 10-6 win over Pete but that would be it as Laura beat Doug Molhook 10-5 to take a 28-point lead after 7 games to finish the match and end their night at 3-0.  They would return on Sunday at 2pm well rested but it wouldn’t get any easier as next up would be first place in the East Valley, Team Ram Rod!  Pete & Harold won the first two before Team Ram Rod won the next 3 in a row to hold the lead through 6 games but by the 7^th game Evil Ways took back the lead and won the match 65-60!  They now awaited the winner from the loser’s side which would be Team Ram Rod, who just defeated Doc’s Gang 73-69 in a 9-game nailbiter!  In the first game Team Ram Rod’s Brady Williams started off by running out on Pete but it was all Evil Ways the rest of the way as they won the next 6 games in a row to win 60-38 in 7 games and become AZPL State Champions!

Spring 2013 The El Diablos

I’m proud to announce the winner of the 30^th AZPL State Championship held at Stinger’s Sports Bar is J.R. Jordan, Ryan Levengood & Scott Gwilliam of The El Diablos from Jester’s Billiards!  They tore through five teams, losing only 9 games, in route to a 5-0 record, winning $1500 along the way!  Their first opponent was DRBJ.  Ryan led it off with his first of four 10-0s in the tournament, this one Vs Rob Turner.  J.R. & Scott followed that with a pair of wins to take a 30-10 lead.  In the second round DRBJ scratched out 19 points with Rob winning his game but the Diablos scored 27 to take a 57-29 lead into the final round.  Rob once again won his game but Ryan scored his second 10-0 to complete the 30 to put away the match after 8 games.  The final score was 74-39. 

In their second match they faced off against Doc’s Gang, who went 13-1 this season.  After two games the score was 17-16 after trading wins but it was all El Diablos after that as they rattled off four straight wins including a 10-0 by Ryan Vs Doc Rogers and a 10-1 by Scott Vs Doug Molhook to win the match in 6 games with a 57-28 victory.

Their third and final match on Saturday was against Team Ram Rod, who had just gone on a winning streak of their own.  It started out the same with all three winning their first games, taking a 30-16 lead into the 2^nd round.  And they would need it as they were outscored 24-16 with Brady Williams scoring a 10-0 against Scott to finish with a 46-40 lead.  It would be the only round they lose throughout the tournament.  The teams scored 16-15 in the next two games giving The El Diablos a 62-55 lead heading into the final game.  Scott promptly scored the necessary 3 to seal the deal to take the win in what would be their closest match. 

On Sunday The El Diablos would return at 2pm to face off against Balls in Hand in what would be the first of two matches against them.  In the opening round Pete Williams and Harold Lyons combined for a pair of wins to take a 20-13 lead after two games but the Diablos won the next three to take a 43-34 lead after five.  They lost the next one but won the next two by a score of 20-8 to finish the match after 8 games with a 69-52 score, sending Balls in Hand to face off against No Name. 

Fall 2012 Uptown Billiards
