ACS Presents The Pechauer All American Tour Results from Main Street Billiards
The thirty-second stop of the 2007/2008 Pechauer All American Tour (produced by the American
CueSports Alliance – ACS) was hosted at Main Street Billiards in Tucson, AZ, on the weekend of
January 26-27. The $1,000 added event drew twenty-seven players competing in a double-
elimination 9-ball format on 7-foot bar boxes. In the men’s division Mitch Ellerman (Phoenix, AZ)
marched undefeated to the finals. In the hot-seat match, Ellerman dispatched Jack Rippel (Sierra
Vista, AZ) 9-6. Earlier in the A-bracket semi-finals, Ellerman outpointed Kevin Peterson (Tucson,
AZ) 9-5, while Rippel knocked off Alex Liebeskind (Tucson, AZ) 9-5. In the B-side quarterfinals
early-round loser Rudy Alameda (Tucson, AZ) eliminated Alex Liebeskind 7-4, while Kevin Peterson
(Tucson, AZ) ousted Kenny Zamora (Sierra Vista, AZ) 7-4 – both losers placing 5-6th. In the
semifinals, Alameda avenged his earlier loss to Kevin Peterson, placing Kevin at 4th place by a 7-4
score. Rudy continued his hot streak by dropping Jack Rippel at 3rd place by a 7-5 margin,
enabling Alameda to get a title shot against Ellerman in one race-to-11 finals. Rudy Alameda was
not to be denied, as he jumped on Mitch Ellerman early, and glided to an 11-6 win for the crown!
By virtue of Kevin Peterson being the highest-finishing ACS member, he qualified for a free 9-Ball
singles entry into the 2008 ACS Nationals in Las Vegas – courtesy of the ACS. The ACS wishes to
thank sponsors J. Pechauer Custom Cues, Championship Billiard Fabric and Nick Varner Signature
