Welcome to the 2010 Seminole Pro Tour!
Shane Slays the Competition
The Seminole Pro Tour continued its 2010 season with a stop at the Marietta Billiard Club in Marietta Georgia for the Gem City Classic July 9th through 11th. All of this year’s Tour winners, Johnny Archer (Mr. Cues II); Stevie Moore (Bankshots); Rodney Morris (Hollywood Billiards); and Donny Mills (Capone’s), tried to be the first repeat champion of the 2010 Tour. The past winners would have to get past a very loaded field of 64 players to try and stake their claim on the $20,000 guaranteed prize fund. The field included the regular Tour players such as Mike Davis, James Roberts, Hunter Lombardo, Charlie Williams, Corey Deuel, Tony Crosby and Tommy Kennedy as well as some new players to this year’s Tour, Nick Varner, Alex Smith, Shaun Wilkie, Allison Fisher, Mike Dechaine and Shane Van Boening.

Not Your Run of the "Mills" Tour Stop
The 2010 Seminole Pro Tour returned to a familiar location this past weekend, Capone’s Billiards, in Spring Hill, FL. The field of 49 players was as strong a field as the previous tour stops this season. Several local players participated for the first time on this year’s tour and of course there were the usual Pro Tour veterans that made their appearances in the bracket.
Several hill-hill matches highlighted the tournament and kept all the spectators on the edge of their seats throughout the weekend. Newcomers took over the east side of the bracket for most of the tournament, but the skilled veterans, with their backs against the wall and no room for error on the left side of the bracket, showed their prowess and ended up in the money.
The Rocket Takes Off in California
The Seminole Pro Tour made its debut on the west coast with a stop at beautiful Hollywood Billiards in Hollywood California. With a very strong field of 59 players, this tour stop was no different from the Tour’s typical east coast surrounding.
Some very familiar names to the Tour came to Hollywood, such as James Roberts, Mike Davis, Charlie Williams, Corey Deuel and Hunter Lombardo. Some new players made their first tour stop of the 2010 Seminole Pro Tour, such as Rodney Morris, Rafael Martinez, Oscar Dominguez, Jose Parica and US Junior National Champion Brendan Crockett. This three-day tournament was packed with great action and also included some surprising results.
Bankshot Billiards - April 10-11, 2010
The second stop in this year’s Seminole Pro Tour was held at Bankshot Billiards in Jacksonville, Florida. The $7,000 added prize fund drew a field of fifty-three high class players, including the first two ladies of this year’s tournament, Amy Chen and Kathryn Fairchild. The draw produced some very interesting matches that did not disappoint with dramatic finishes and surprising results.
