Jacoby Custom Cues Sponsors Carolina Tour

Jacoby Custom Cues and Doug Ennis of Rock City Promotions have released their 2005 schedule for the new Carolina Tour.  The tour features six stops, with each event boasting a break contest, a ring game, and a 10-ball challenge to go along with the 9-ball tournament.

The tour's inaugural stop is May 14-15 at New York Billiards in Raleigh, NC, followed by a June 4-5 event at Dot's Cue Club in Rocky Mount, NC.  The third stop takes the tour to Fast Eddie's in Goldsboro, NC, o­n June 25-26, then to Sharks-N-Shooters in Rocky Mount o­n July 16-17.  The final two stops come in August o­n the 6-7 at Pastime Billiards in Greenville, NC, followed by the finale back at New York Billiards o­n August 27-28.

The season-end event offers a huge incentive, as the point's champion will be awarded a paid entry into September's U.S. Open in Chesapeake, VA.  Ennis said the excitement among players and room owners is already growing, even for those poolrooms that didn't get a stop this summer.  "I solicited the players' input and put together a tour that reflected what they wanted.  Everything about the Jacoby Custom Cues Carolina Tour is bigger than your everyday run-of-the-mill tour.  And room owners that didn't get a stop this year are lining up their dates for next year."
