The 2009-2010 Lucasi Hybri All American Tour (produced by the American CueSports Alliance – ACS) came to Davenport, Iowa, on Saturday, October 17, at Miller Time Billiards. The $500 added event featured twenty-two players in a double-elimination 8-ball format on 7-foot bar boxes. Rich Bideaux (Moline, IL), rated a 6 on a regional handicap system, took the undefeated route to the hot seat that included A-side victories over Rodney Flenoi [6] (Davenport, IA) 6-5 in the semi-finals and Dan Kuhl [5] (LeClaire, IA) 6-4 in the finals.

Winners Rich Bideaux (L-1st) and Dan Kuhl (R-2nd)

In the B-side Ron O’Meara Jr. [6] (E. Moline, IL) eliminated Mason Parks [5] (E. Moline, IL) at 7th place 6-1, while Danny Pena [5] (Davenport, IA) tied Parks with a 3-6 loss to Steve Parlow [6] (Davenport, IA). Josh Johnson [7] (Bettendorf, IA) and Steve Parlow tied at 5th place in the next round, courtesy of losses respectively to Ron O’Meara Jr. 5-6 and Rodney Flenoi 5-6. Staying true to the handicapping, Ron O’Meara Jr. recorded another 6-5 win over Rodney Flenoi to stay Flenoi at 4th place. Dan Kuhl, in turn, ended O’Meara’s run at 3rd place via a 5-3 B-side finals win. The tourney finals went to the hill again, as Rich Bideaux [6] gained the title in the first set with a 6-4 win over Dan Kuhl [5].

By virtue of Dan Kuhl being the highest-finishing ACS member in the event, he qualified for a free 9-Ball singles entry into the 2010 ACS Nationals in Las Vegas – courtesy of the ACS.
