286 players! One winner! And for the fifth time! Add another record to Earl’s heavy title belt. Words cannot convey Strickland’s fire power. You need to see for yourself. The Archer – Reyes match was clearly the week’s most exciting. Archer dominated to get to ten, then Reyes confounded everyone by switching to a soft break. Archer now had to sweat Efren’s onslaught, rack after rack, until hill-hill! 259B-01 See Wisconsin wiz Larry Nevel’s debut as he displayed his already well-documented straight shooting talent to edge top ranked Mika Immonen 11-9. 259B-02
Earl, following through New York’s Frankie Hernandez is making a name for himself after winning several New England regionals. Observe his performance under pressure with Kim in 259B-03. Never give up on Ralf Souquet. He’s a fighter you can count on to hang in there until the end. This he did to outlast the wily Michael Coltrain 11-10 in 259B-07. Witness pure talent as former world 9-ball champion Rudolfo Luat triumphed over tough and dedicated Jon Kucharo. You’ll be seeing a lot more of Jon. He’s "winner’s circle" material. 259B-12

The 2000 World One Pocket Championships, hosted by Spot Shot Billiards in Portland, Maine, attracted 50 players from around the world. Our first match introduces Canadian resident Alex Pagulayan to the grandfather of cue sports. Who would have thunk that this young 9-ball turk could acquire competitive one pocket skills so quickly? I guess he is following in Efren’s footsteps. Varner and Vickery share their views as this nail-biter unfolds. 1P00-01
See near perfect one pocket as Master Daulton takes Professor Mathews at love. 1P00-03 What starts off as a "Hohum, slam dunk" win by Joyner soon turns as Sambajon's knowledge and creative strategy increase as the match progresses. 1P00-04 We bring new blood to both booth and table as commentator Bill Hendrixson divulges excellent insight while Varner whets his appetite on 1P0002 with Bobby Hunt and 1P00-07 with David Grossman. Mor e Bill on 1P00-05. You won't believe your eyes when Cory Deuel adeptly deploys an eight ball break to one pocket.1P00-06 Clearly the most suspenseful match of the event is when Pagulayan makes a ball on three break shots against the ever combative Parica.1P00-08 As you know by now, Accu-Stats is not only dedicated to bringing you the best pocket billiard performances, but we want you to have the most knowledgeable hosts impart simple information that you can incorporate into your game. Nick Varner, winning his first World One Pocket title, suffocated each of his seven opponents, defeating three of them 4-0, and four by the score of 4-1. Here is your opportunity to benefit from both Nick’s spectacular play on the table, compounded with his expert commentary in the Accu-Stats booth.

This is the first tourney where Accu-Stats can recommend every match! It has been five years since we’ve had the opportunity to tape world class straight pool. Are we glad we showed up! At the 17th BCA U.S. Open Championships thirty-two cue men competed in New York City’s Roseland Ballroom. Which tape is the best? Well, it’s hard to say, but if you want to improve your 14.1 skills, or are just out to enjoy some serious straight pool expertise, here are our suggestions: Mike Sigel, in a rare appearance, sent Nick Varner home when he ran an 86 and then a 64 and out. 17SP-01. You don’t want to miss him with Schmidt either. 17SP-05 It’s been five long years since we’ve seen Efren in 14.1 action. It seems he’s still in stroke. Watch as he opens with a 141 against straight pool champion Dallas West. 17SP-10 Germany was well represented as Oliver Ortmann put a 129 on Rempe which Jim followed with a too little, too late 96. 17SP-11. If that’s not enough for you, then see Germany’s Thomas Engert hit Rempe with a 93 and out just after Jim hit him with an 85. These guys are brutal! 17SP-07 There is more hard firing action with Dick Lane’s opening run of 98. He was held at 108 while eventual tournament winner Ralf Souquet drew out the big guns to blast a 76 and out. 17SP-09 And who is this guy Min-Wai Chin from China? And how did he learn? (Maybe, he has an Accu-Stats collection) To get to the finals, it’s obvious he too can play. As always, our commentators put out, but Rempe’s player review match against Ginky will be a favorite for years. Don’t miss Jim as he shares some of his adVanced straight pool secrets. Enjoy. 17SP-04
