APA 8-Ball Doubles
Back Again for the Win
The 8-Ball Doubles Championships final round pitted Lucky Draw, Ricky Seak (SL6) and Chris Frazao (SL4) from Hamden, Conn. against 2005 8-Ball Doubles Champions Back Again, Jared Boothe (SL4) and Paul Weber (SL6) from McComb, La. The 8-Ball Doubles Championship is any combination of male/female teams with a team skill level limit of 10. A handicap race chart is used in this modified single elimination tournament.
This match was a race to 4. Lucky Draw won the lag. Frazao started the match, the first game went back and fourth, both teams played cautiously. After many innings, Lucky Draw captured the first game. Back Again, here to defend their title, felt the pressure and soared through the next four games to win and become the 2006 APA 8-Ball Doubles Champions. Back Again took home first place prize money of $5,000; Lucky Draw took home $3,000.
”We lost our first match, we had to battle back, it seemed like an up hill battle the entire way,” said Paul Weber, of Back Again, “but we couldn’t have done it without our Espiritu cues.” Espiritu are handmade cues by a gentleman who lives close to Booth and Weber.
“Before we came out here we talked about what would happen if we won again, we decided it would be our last time,” said Jared Boothe, “but winning just feels so good, if our handicaps allow, I think we might be back again next year.”
