Breaking News #91
The eighth stop of the 2006/2007 McDermott All American Tour (produced by the
American CueSports Alliance – ACS) featured a $1,500-added purse and fifty-three
players, hosted by owner Bob Jackson at Main Street Billiards in Tucson, Arizona,
on the weekend of December 16-17. The event featured double-elimination 9-ball
on 9-foot Gold Crowns, and Mitch Ellerman of Gilbert, Arizona, steamrolled
through the winner’s bracket to the finals. Mitch subdued John Heye (Gilbert, AZ)
9-3 in the A-side semi-finals and Tommy Tokoph (Albuquerque, NM) 9-3 in the A-
side finals to take the hot seat. Matches in the B-side bracket leading up to the
tourney finals included Heye stopping Jack Rippell (Sierra Vista, AZ) to 5th place
by a 7-5 margin and Andy Kachur (Tucson, AZ) eliminating Don Lambert (Tucson,
AZ) 7-4, tying Lambert with Rippell. Kachur built up his momentum by ousting Heye
7-4 and Tommy Tokoph 7-6 and gaining a title shot at Ellerman. In the one set
tourney finals, Ellerman continued his mastery over the field with an 11-7 victory
over Kachur for the title!
By virtue of second-place Andy Kachur being the highest-finishing ACS member,
he qualified for a free singles entry into the 2007 ACS Nationals in Las Vegas –

Cues, Silver Cup Chalk, Billiard Wholesalers and Pro Series Cases for their
support in donating “Value-In-Kind” product for this stop on the McDermott All
American Tour. Sponsorship opportunities are still available by contacting the ACS.
