Hard Times Billiards – Bellflower, CA

The 6th Annual Hard Times 10-Ball Open…and 1-Pocket!!!

Starting Thursday, July 16th through Sunday, July 19th Bellflower’s Hard Times Billiards is hosting The 2015 Hard Times 10 and 1 Open Tournament with both a One-Pocket and 10-Ball competition, open to all.

This year’s event is presented to the players and audience by Andy Billiard Cloth. Ernesto Dominguez has been working to re-cover 10 of the Hard Times tables on the tournament side. Hard Times is also happy to present, as the live-streamed table, a Gold Crown III with four inch pockets. Andy Billiard Cloth is known to provide players with a sleek, smooth playing surface that is said to be engineered to last longer than other table cloth. With new cloth being installed on the tables, air-conditioning flowing, Dave Hemmah as tournament director and a digital bracket presented on a 72″ monitor, players can experience a professional event with the professional atmosphere.

Brackets and results for both the players and POV Pool audience are provided by CompuSport. Tournament Director, Dave Hemmah, will be running both tournaments entirely on the digital bracket. Mr. Hemmah will be able to update matches from anywhere in the building and players can view all new updates from their phone, from anywhere! Players and spectators can get push notifications to their phone when their matches are updated from the free CompuSport app! Also, a ‘real-time’ feed for both tournaments will be available on www.povpool.com during the tournaments for audiences everywhere to follow the players.
