Montana State 8 Ball Tournament

Hello! I just wanted to make a post with an update on the 25th Montana State 8 ball tournament. I have made the decision to pass the torch. I wanted to have one more event to go out on the 25th. Unfortunately I’m busy as heck and just don’t have the time it takes to make this event successful.

So, a couple of gentlemen that are no strangers to running top notch events, mentioned that they would like to take it over. Those two fine men are Brendon Cady and John Gies. I have no doubt that they will continue to provide a great event and grow it to levels I never did.

Thank you all for the support over the years. The players are truly the best and sometimes… the worst parts of running tournaments. However, I have made some great friends over the years.

Special thanks to the sponsors that stuck by me every year.

I feel that the Montana State 8 ball tournament is in good hands. Thank you John and Brendon for offering to continue this great event for hopefully another 25 years!

Good morning! I have submitted all brackets except the Mens B to FargoRate. I need some help from Mike Klesh, Anthony Moffitt, and Thomas Martin to get this corrected. Your FargoRate and Scoreholio accounts are not linked. If you have any questions, Please call or text me 406-698-5519.
This is holding up the data! Thanks for your help.

Well I’m finally caught up on sleep! I would like to thank all of the players for supporting this years event. It was a grind for sure. I think I’ve reached max capacity! We ended up with 96 singles this year, 2nd largest field ever. I’d also like to thank the sponsors, without them this event doesn’t happen.
Mia’s Wok, King Custom builders, Sky Cristadora realty, MC (Macy) Custom homes, Brice’s Masterclean, MT Cue Worx, Top of the Rims, Wyomont Exteriors, Elevated, The Play inn, Jam Up apparel and last but not least, a special thanks to Todd and Monte with Brothers Billiards for hosting this event. I almost forgot… a huge shoutout to Mickayla Zieske, she’s a rockstar folks! The hours are long and the pay sucks!🤣 Thanks to the streaming crew, Brendon Cady and Kyle McLaren! See ya next time!
