Tonight o­n the TV table, an experimental long-rack banks ring game is underway involving ring game ever-present Shannon Daulton, Jose Parica, Glenn “Piggy Banks” Rogers, and John Brumback. The players are regulated to play a mandatory push-out to start each inning to see if the format will prove popular.

Away from the arena, some of the greatest o­ne-pocket players of all-time gathered for a banquet. Grady “The Professor” Mathews was the MC as some of the all-time tournament, backroom and teaching legends of the division were inducted into the new O­ne-Pocket Hall Of Fame. Leonard "Bugs" Rucker, Bill “Weenie Beanie” Staton, Ronnie Allen, Danny Diliberto, Jack "Jersey Red" Breit, Billy "Cornbread Red" Burge, Larry "Boston Shorty" Johnson, Efren Reyes, Nick Varner and Eddie "Knoxville Bear" Taylor were all honoured.
