...more than two weeks the click and plop of expertly cued balls echoed off the ceiling. Squinting, stretching, chalking, the players met each other twice in round-robin competition for the $5,000 first prize. Each game was standard "14.1 ball": 15 colored target balls are set on the table and the players take turns using a white cue ball to knock them into any pockets they choose.
