2006 IPT Schedule AnnouncedThe International Pool Tour is proud to announce the 2006 IPT Season. The IPT is hosting six major tournaments for 2006 and over $8 million in prize money is being given away. A tour season of this magnitude has been difficult to schedule without clashing with other events. We have done everything in our power to work around other promoters’ tournaments whose schedules have been announced. However, even with our best efforts, it was impossible for us to find world class venues, with the space and number of days required, that would not conflict with some other tournaments. We have contacted all major promoters and they have been overwhelmingly cooperative and understanding with regard to tournament date clashes. They will be rescheduling tournaments so that players will be able to participate in both IPT events and other events as well. Scheduling these tournaments has been a major challenge. Each tournament requires over 60,000 sq.ft. of space to accommodate over 60 tables, player and staff green rooms, and exhibit space. We require three days move in time, seven or eight days for tournament play, and one day to break down and move out. Finding a world class venue to accommodate these requirements has been a major undertaking. However, the IPT team has secured spectacular venues that the pool world has never before seen!

Basavich Steams on Undefeated
January 23rd, 2006Basavich Steams on Undefeatedby Matthew PingorParsippany, NJ / Joss Northeast 9-Ball Tour – Solid turnouts, amazing talent, tough competition—the Joss Northeast 9-Ball tour was back in swing January 22 at Comet Billiards of Parsippany, NJ. A field of 52 attended the $6,160-added event and was treated with the pleasure of watching Dan Basavich run undefeated for another first-place finish. Vying for the hot seat, Basavich went into battle against the trusty legions of Filipino player, Al Lapena. Not letting Lapena hold strong ground at all, Basavich marched on to win 9-6. In the quarterfinals, WPBA star Karen Corr was campaigning to make a comeback from an earlier loss to Lapena. She managed to stave off Sean Morgan, winning 9-5.

Efren Reyes Wins One-Pocket Division, Miller Moves Closer to First All Around Title
January 12th, 2006Santa’s gone and the New Year’s resolutions are forgotten, so it must be time for the Derby City Classic, the regular January trip that everyone who’s anyone in the world of pool makes. The one-of-a-kind pool event that laughs in the face of conformity, legitimacy, and the need of a human being for sleep. Forget things like corporate sponsorship and tuxedoed contestants—this is the place where legends of a different sort are bred. Where the back room is often more interesting than the front, and where bankrolls come to flourish, or to die.Already the back room action has been in full flow, with stars such as Corey Deuel, Efren Reyes (index.php?option=content&task=view&id=85), Cliff Joyner, Scott Frost, and Alex Pagulayan taking center stage. Mixed in with those notables are a potpourri of hustlers, railbirds, and jailbirds from all corners of the USA. They all run out, woof with gusto, and bet high. They also all have their own language for letting you know how things went. Here’s a handy translation guide:
