Video Compilation $1,000-a-ball Break Contest

I created this video compilation of the $1,000-a-ball break contest held at Rusty's Billiards in Fort Worth, Texas on Sept 28, 2010. Ashley Nandrasy and I are "commentating." P.S. Not work safe - cussing throughout, lol.

The side pot for the break contest has been going on for several years. As the manager stated, "but it just hit a LLLOOONNNGGG point where NO ONE was making ...anything.... it grew from there."

The break contest is normally $500 a ball but this was an anniversary night for the pool room. Usually only one person is called, but this night the balls were worth $1,000 AND a name was drawn until someone made money.

If you make a legal break, whatever balls you make AFTER that, are worth $1,000 a ball.  For specs, see my blog article I wrote in August 2008 about this popular break contest.

Check out what happened:

Loved that vid. Sounded like you had a really good time. I copied those rules and sent them to Mingles in hopes they could put together something like this.
