Diamond Billiards Products Announces No Excuse Program
Diamond Billiard Products has announced the No Excuse Program, a plan to get Smart Tables into locations across the country. The program was developed to increase saturation of the Smart Table into the market by offering financing for bar and poolroom owners, vendors, and operators.

“We have special financing plans for vendor/operators, bar/room owner, and league operators”, said Brian Miller Director of Sales of Diamond Billiard Products, Inc..
“There is no excuse for not playing on good equipment. Our first priority is to work through vendor/operators, as they are currently set up to work with the locations that have pool tables installed for league play. The next priority is the bar/tavern owner where the tables are being placed. If neither the vendor/operators nor bar/tavern owners are interested, then we will work with the amateur pool league operators (any league) to place tables in suitable locations.”

Abraham Takes First Billiard Tour Win

Blaze 9-ball Tour / Parsippany, NJ
by Rick Davis
The fourteenth stop of the Blaze 9-ball Tour visited Comet Billiards in Parsippany, NJ, May 27, where David Abraham bested the 33-player field to take his first tour win of the season.
Abraham tore through the winners’ side, where he only once gave up more than two racks during his four-match winning streak that put him in the hot seat match. Playing just as well and dominating the other half of the chart was Mark Vidal, who also took four strong wins to reach the hot seat match. Fighting tooth and nail, Abraham just managed to take a lead over Vidal, propelling him to the 7-5 win.
On the one-loss side Bucky Souvanthong was working on a comeback. Souvanthong ousted Joey Kong in the quarterfinals then proceeded to eliminate Vidal, who had sent Souvanthong west several rounds earlier 6-3 in the semifinals, for the right to face Abraham.
In the finals Abraham was on top of things from the start, and before long he had run away with the match, defeating Souvanthong 7-2 and cementing his first title.
Results:
1st David Abraham
2nd Bucky Souvanthong
3rd Mark Vidal
4th Joey Kong
