2022 Fall Tournament - NYAC Minimize

 

NYAC 2022

October 14-16

New York Athletic Club

 

 

 

The Directors are pleased to announce the Fall event will take place in October, commencing Friday 14th through Sunday 16th October in the New York Athletic Club. ISL members will be able to book their accommodation in the NYAC from early June (please reference ISL Snooker). The NYAC will also host the main tournament in May 2023 with exact dates to be announced in due course. As always, I would like to express thanks on behalf of the ISL to the NYAC and the Knights of the Green Table for their continued support of the ISL. 

 

The Fall event includes a double elimination singles handicap tournament played on a best of 3 format with a single frame knockout for the losers side with winners of both sections meeting in the final. A doubles and singles scratch event will also take place that weekend with an opening cocktail reception on the Friday evening and a final night dinner on the Sunday evening. 

 

With places limited to approximately 16 travelling ISL members, please let me know directly if you are interested in participating. With another 16 places allocated for the NYAC members, can you please confirm your participation with Jamie Brunn and/or Tom Motta.

 

Many thanks & kind regards,

To date, she has won over 80 national titles and 11 world titles in total. Fisher did not take long to make her mark in the world of pool, winning only the second tournament that she played in. She has an unequaled record, winning 50 WPBA titles, which includes 4 world 9-Ball championships. Since her move, she has also been the highest-earning player on a number of occasions, which takes into account male and female players. Matchroom sports invited her to play in the Matchroom snooker league, and she was also invited to play in the Mosconi Cup 1994, when Europe lost 16:12 against Team USA.Fisher was nicknamed "the Duchess of Doom" and gained a reputation similar to that of the fifteen-time darts world champion Phil Taylor and snooker players Joe Davis, Steve Davis and Stephen Hendry in the 1930s and 80s–90s, respectively.

The English Amateur champion in 1964, Ray captured his first World Professional title in 1970 and went on to dominate the decade by winning the World title on another five occasions including a remarkable quartet of successes from 1973-1976. A former president of the World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association, Ray remains a snooker legend and managed to reach the semi-finals of the World Championship in 1985 - at the age of 53! Awarded an MBE for his services to snooker, Ray was a role model for many young players coming into the game in the 1970's and 1980's.

He was also the first player to make TWO 147's, his second maximum coming in the Matchroom League in 1989. Nicknamed "The Grinder" for his steely determination to win, Cliff reached two World finals, claiming the famous trophy in 1980 with an 18-16 victory over Alex Higgins. World No.1 in the 1981/82 season, Cliff enjoyed the unique surroundings of the Wembley Conference Centre for the Benson and Hedges Masters, taking the gold trophy on three occasions in 1983, 1985 and 1986. He also revelled in the World Team Cup as he skippered Canada to victory in 1982 and 1990.
