The twenty-fifth stop on the 2009-2010 Lucasi Hybri All American Tour (produced by the American CueSports Alliance – ACS) was hosted in Davenport, Iowa, on Saturday, January 16, at Miller Time Billiards. The $500 added event featured twenty-eight players in a double-elimination 8-ball format on 7-foot bar boxes. Jason Totten (Clinton, IA) [rated a "4" on the regional handicapping system used] took down the hot seat by clipping Gary Plant [4] (Lansing, IL) 4-3 in the A-side finals. Jason awaited the finalist from the B-side thereafter, which included Ryan Robinson (Davenport, IA) and Ricardo Pena (Davenport, IA) ending the day at 5th place for Rich Bideaux (Moline, IL) and Don Boll (Dubuque, IA) respectively. Robinson [5] then ousted Ricardo Pena [6] at 4th place by a 5-3 margin. Ryan Robinson then took down the B-side finals by eclipsing Gary Plant 5-2, but Jason Totten blocked Robinson’s route to the title in the first set of the tourney finals with a 4-2 decision in Jason’s favor!

By virtue of Ryan Robinson 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. The ACS wishes to thank sponsors Lucasi Hybrid Cues, Championship Billiard Fabric, Nick Varner Signature Cases, Ozone Billiards, Pool Cue Guru and Billiard Gods Productions for their support in donating “Value-In-Kind” product for this and all stops on the Lucasi Hybrid All American Tour. All entries in the Tour are also entered into a drawing in January for a $1,000 Lucasi Hybrid Cue, courtesy of Ozone Billiards. Sponsorship opportunities and tour stop openings are still available for the 2009/2010 All American Tour by contacting the ACS.

The Tour moves to Colorado on Saturday, January 23, for the $500-added Greenfields 8-Ball Open at Greenfields Pool & Sports Bar in Lakewood, CO (contact Todd Grosvenor at 303-989-9820). Further information, entry details and schedules for the 2009-2010 Tour are available at www.americancuesports.org
