“Pool Players & Fans, Congratulations to our previous event winners at Salt City Billiards, Bucky Souvanthong ($1,000 main event), Jose Mendez ($330 second chance) & Derrick Beckwith ($1,700 Joss Cue Raffle Winner)
“Our final regular season stop of the Joss Northeast 9-Ball Tour will take place on June 4 & 5 at Snookers Billiards Bar & Grill in Providence RI. This will once again be our third event at Snookers this season and we all owe owners Regina & Steve Goulding many thanks for their continued generous support. With this $2,000 added they have again added a total of $10,000 to our events this season. Thanks again from all of us! All that remains of the current season is our season finale, The $25,000 Added, Turning Stone Classic XXVI 9-Ball Open, August 25-28, 2016. FYI, our next Turning Stone event will be January 5-8, 2017. I will begin taking entries for that event at the August event.
“Snookers is one of the premier rooms in the United States. They were TWICE named the #1 room in the country by Billiards Digest Magazine! Snookers comes complete with 15 Gold Crowns covered in 860 Simonis (The Cloth Of Champions), is a world class sports bar, and has some of the best food in RI which is evident by the usual large crowds. So why not come to Snookers to play or watch, have a great meal and show your support to those who most generously keep supporting us. You might even win a custom engraved Joss Cue valued at $1,700 in Snookers cue raffle. The cue drawing will take place immediately before the final match on Sunday and, as always, you do not have to be present to win!! This gorgeous cue can be viewed here: https://josscues.com/cues/custom/joss-custom-26/
