BEN NUNAN
‘2010 BIG GUN’

Congratulations to Ben Nunan who produced a super-human effort to win the inaugural ‘Big Guns’ tournament.
Ben was forced to come from the losers side after he was eliminated by Joel Younger in the semi final of the winners side.
Ben then went on to defeat Victoria’s Jake McCartney, Queenslander Adam List and then got his revenge against Gold Coast local Joel Younger…. and don’t forget, all these games happened on the Sunday!!!
Then, he had to go into the Grand Final and take on the Red Hot West Australian, Ron Kelly who had played excellent pool all weekend.
Because Ban came from the losers side, that meant he had to defeat Ronny twice (over 21 frames).
For those in attendance, they were treated to some of the best pool played by anybody, anywhere. Benny Nunan dismantled Ronny in the first final, hardly missing a shot and giving Ronny very little, if any opportunity… but the best was yet to come.
The final match of the tournament was going te be the best, Ronny gathered his thoughts and regained his composure and came back at Benny in the second best of 21. Both players were fighting very hard to capture the $10,000 first prize. After almost 40 hours of pool and hundreds and hundreds of frames over the weekend, it came down to the final frame of the tournament to determine the champion. At 10-10, Benny walked to the table, smashed open the balls, and that was it… good night nurse… Benny cleared the table and was declared the champion.
Well done to Ron Kelly, who played some of the best pool of his career this weekend, and he believes he still is not quite back to his best, so look out for next time.
This grand final has been rated one of the best of all time. We are privileged that the whole grand final has been captured by William from Ballstream.com and can’t wait till the DVD is ready so we can watch it all again.

Big Guns:
1st: Ben Nunan ($10,000)

Important Tournament Notes: 

1. 0 The tournament director reserves the right to change what the matches will be played
‘Best of’ if it is believed the tournament will not finish in the allotted time frame.

2.0  If a match enters a third hour (over two hours); a timer may be appointed to the table.

3.0  If players are taking too long to play shots, his opponent should request a timer.

4.0  All players are expected to dress in smart casual clothing. Come on guys… dress smart!

5. 0 Due to matches on the Sunday being filmed, it is a request that players involved in finals 
dress appropriately. “You’re going to be on TV… remember to look nice!!!”

6.0    Players that are deemed not to be playing in the ‘Spirit of the game’ may be exposed to;

6.1 – First offence is a ‘Yellow Card’ – This offence will result in the loss of frame.

6.2 – Second offence is a ‘Red Card’ – This offence will result in the loss of match.

7.0    The tournament director can eject any player from the tournament if it is deemed that he is/has jeopardized the tournament in any way. This may be an act against a patron of the venue, a sponsor, another player etc… This sort of behavior will not be tolerated by the “Big Guns’ tournament or the management of the playing venue. That player will be removed from the competition and may be asked to leave the premises.

8.0    It is the responsibility of the players to call an adjudicator in to view a close or important shot. Remember, an adjudicator cannot rule on an alleged foul that has not been witnessed.

9.0    We will not be using string or fishing line to determine total snookers… we have got ‘Rusty’, he has got an eye like a barramundi.
