Pool Tournament cues up international stars

The pool chalk will be flying this weekend when the Wyoming Open Pool Tournament, sponsored by Andy Billiard Cloth, returns to the Saratoga starting this Friday and continuing through to a final redraw and live Calcutta on Saturday night at the Platte Valley Community Center. There are four divisions in the tournament so that everyone has a place to play, according to organizer Ed Glode. Sportsman is designed for local beginners while Classic is a step up to include intermediate players. The Expert division was added to provide another opportunity for non-professional skilled pool players. The Masters division is solely for professional players which will include notable past Wyoming Open sign-ups like Rodney Morris, Raj Hundal, Charlie Williams, Shane Van Boening and Stevie Moore.

Newcomers to this year’s tournament will be international billiards superstars like Billiard Congress of America hall of fame nominee, Johnny “The Scorpion” Archer, as well as Oscar Dominguez, and Mika “The Iceman” Immonen.
