January 5, 2026 at 8:06 pm. 6lbs 7oz, 18.75 inches long.

All welcome to Kenneth James Berg!!

We are proud of this guy here. The son of the man we all came to honor ended up in 2nd place in the 8 and 9 ball gold events. Congrats Joshua Berg

Congrats to Colby Rian Winter on 2nd place in the 10 ball event. 10 ball was the final event and he was getting used to the tables and catching a gear. Marvin proved to be too difficult an obstacle for everyone that weekend though.

There's a whole pile of talent right here. Ray took first in the 8 ball event with Ari Fischer in second. It was a hill hill thriller.

Congrats to Jonah and Ray on 1st and 2nd in the 10 ball platinum Division. Ray was one point behind Ari for master of the table. Ray dazzled with exhibition style play and provided his own color commentary. The Pagulayan of the Prairie.

Congrats to the clubs very own Marvin C. Bonnet on winning this years Master of the table in the gold Division. He was unhappy with last years performance and swept all three events this year. Hes been prioritizing pool while running the league and its shown in the results. Congrats Marv, we are lucky to have you.

Congratulations to Ari Fischer on becoming this years Master of the Table. He won the 9 ball event and took second in 8 ball. He impressed everyone all weekend. Congrats to Brian for 2nd place in 9 ball in this photo.

Less than a week to go! $125 for all three tournaments. Who will be crowned this years Master of the Table?!

6 years already!! The player list will be updated on the clubs page. Sure miss my pal Berg but seeing all our pool friends seems to help. Just as Ken kept getting better with age, so is our memorial event in his honor.

Well gang, another event has come and gone. I had a blast auctioning off the players and could hardly believe the participation we had with that. James Schuck took down Master of the Table in the Gold and Shannon Spronk in the Platinum. The usual thank you goes to Charlie Gould for his tireless pursuit of furthering the pool scene. Tammy Jean showed up in force with LyBecca and Janel McLaughlin to take care of any and all food needs. I think the real silent hero of this event is Milo Glatt. He stuck around til the bitter end making sure no more help could be needed. The guy showed up the next day and hauled out all the garbage. Pretty impressive contribution for a tournament he didn't even play in. Big round of applause to the Aberdeen Cue Club. Truly for players, by players. NE SD Billiard Oasis indeed. ❤️
