The second ranking event of the 2011 SAPPA Scottish American Pool Tour, the West of Scotland 9 Ball Open, took place at Riley's Glasgow last weekend. A small, but talented, group of 36 players gathered to play in the event, held at one of the most popular venues, Riley's Glasgow.
This tournament was the first to be seeded using the new rolling ranking system that has been introduced to SAPPA meaning that a player's seeding in a tournament can change from event to event. This rolling system will continue through the rest of this year's SAPPA events.

2011 CENTRAL SCOTLAND 9 BALL CLASSIC
16 January 2011
Riley's Stirling
Last weekend saw the first event of the 2011 SAPPA Scottish American Pool Tour, the Central Scotland 9 Ball Classic, take place at Riley's Stirling. In all, 42 players came along to test their skills against each other. A few players from SAPPA Tours of the past even made a return, most noteable of whom was former Scottish Champion and Scottish number one Geoff Dunn.
After a recent online survey, this tournament had an open draw and this created a few excellent matches in the very first round. Standing out from the list was the match between top players, and good friends, Greg Alexander and Davy Jack. In a match that swung back and forth, it was Jack who managed to prevail with a nail-biting 7-6 win.
The last 16 was a mix of the usual suspects, returning players, new players and a couple of surprises thrown in for good measure. Sadly, due to time constraints, the tournament had to be stopped at the Semi Final stage with the prize money being split between the 4 remaining players. These matches will be played at the next event, the West of Scotland 9 Ball Open, at Riley's Glasgow on Sunday 6th March.
Postscript
Unfortunately, Chris Robson was unable to come up to Glasgow for the West of Scotland Open so had to forfeit his semi final match against Adam Smith. In the other semi final, Davy Jack managed to get past Chris Cowie in a thight match. The delayed final was a fairly one sided affair with Adam Smith getting the upper hand on Jack with 8 racks to 2 scoreline.
