I will of course be leaving someone as my memory isn't the best, but there are a lot of talented players in the house in Mobile (please excuse the spelling as I don't have time to check names, I'm headed back momentarily). SB's own Sam Gilmer, plus Hillbilly Bryant, Larry Nevel, Jamie Farrel (The Red Rifle from N.O.), Lil' John, Darryl Biggart, Lil' D, Mobile Will, Hennesy, Cliff Joyner, Ryan McReesh, Vita, Lil' Sal, Jamie Barrack, and to answer your question, Doc, Luc is in the house as well.

I had to leave at 4 this morning to get some sleep, so I didn't get the winner of the 16 man, $500 entry fee, single elim tourney. I'll try and get you guys some updates later today, as my understanding is that there are big gaps between the first few matches.

Doc, you are far too kind. I did have a blast while I was down there and it was a pleasure to meet you. I'm going to try and find out the winners in the last couple of rounds and put up the brackets for the last 8 in both the winners and one loss side. I'm hoping to catch someone at breakers this afternoon around 2 or 3 that can give me the info. I had to work Monday morning, and I stayed as late as I could (1:30 am). After a 3 and a half hour drive, I was beat.

I do know that the calcutta payouts were:
1st Calcutta:
1: 4400
2: 2300
3: 1500
4: 800
5: 450
7: 300
9-12: 150

2nd Calcutta:
1: 1785
2: 1075
3: 715

None too shabby for this stressful economic time. I'm hoping to be at the fall follies tournament, and have another great time watching great pool, and playing better than average pool.

Does anyone have a program to put a ladder board online? That would be a nice way to keep up with things. We have a fellow here that runs the tournament at the VFW on Friday nite and he has a program that does that, plus it matches up shooters randomly and puts in any byes. He just types in names as folks sign up and when it is time he will have it shuffle three times. Think he said he only paid 30 bucks for it. If I ever have a hall I'll dang sure use it. In fact I might just go ahead and get it.

I'm actually working on a web based program similar to what you are talking about Pel. I'd like to be able to put in the names of the participants and have it randomly draw as you mentioned. Then you can either simply select the winner and/or put in the number of games won and have them advance in the bracket, winner and loser's side. Right now I'm just using office and having it publish to an image and put it up on the web.

I still wasn't able to get anyone to verify the last couple of rounds of the tourney, but maybe tomorrow if they aren't too busy behind the counter.
