TournaMAXX Competition Rocks in Rocktober

Brian Kallhoff won a 32” widescreen HD-ready flat-panel LCD TV

Bensalem, PA - Fall is here, and while the temperature is dropping TournaMAXX™ competition is just getting heated up! Merit Entertainment™, Megatouch® operators and players all took part in another great competition, featuring 11Ball, Run21 and an 11Ball Prize Tournament, with winners spanning the country from Florida to Oregon.

“Once again the winners show that TournaMAXX events are well played and well loved all over the country,” said Bob Mills, Merit Entertainment's Vice President, North American Sales. “Rocktober was another great success thanks to all our players, owners, operators and sponsors.”

In a furious contest, the highest average scores for both the 11Ball and the 11Ball Prize Tournaments were separated by less than 1,000 points. In the 11Ball Tourney, Mike Dandy took top honors with an average score of 171,310. Mike racked up the points playing at the 45th Street Pub in Portland, Oregon (operated by Mt. Hood Vending). Second place went to Eric Simon (170,570), who played his games at Roeders in Houston, Texas (operated by Vending Resources). Tom O'Neal (170,360) took third place playing at Partner's Show Bar in Erie, Pennsylvania (operated by Romeo Amusement Company). The highest single game score went to Ric Ducosin (178,050), while playing at Elements in Wilton Manors, Florida (operated by Mr. Packman Enterprises).

In the 11Ball Prize Tournament, Brian Kallhoff won a 32” widescreen HD-ready flat-panel LCD TV with his fantastic average score of 171,540. Brian won big at EJ's Lounge & Grill in Lincoln, Nebraska (operated by V.V.S. Inc.). Second place went to a player registered as J.K. (170,970), winning a DVD camcorder with 2.5” swivel screen. J.K. played at the Windsor Pub in Akron, Ohio (operated by Bell Music). Third place and a $300 Best Buy gift card went to Matthew Szawicki (170,820), who played at Pipeline in Omaha, Nebraska (operated by NTS). The highest single game score in the Prize Tournament went to Danielle Damian, who played at JR's Down Under in Lincoln, Nebraska (operated by V.V.S. Inc.).

Aaaamusement Rrr Usss' Bernard Gabrille said that “Locations that promote TournaMAXX to players do extremely well compared to locations that do not.” He continued by saying that, “All locations should push their TournaMAXX events, because players love them and keep coming back for more.”

In the Run21 Tournament Mark Malloy came back for more, as it always seems he does. He won yet again with an average score of 654,000, playing at Sorrento's in Feeland, Pennsylvania (operated by Aaaamusement Rrr Usss). Trudi Williams took second place (594,080) on a Megatouch located in Abbey Rd. Tavern in Selma, North Carolina (operated by Raleigh Amusements). Third place went to Kathy Miller (590,920), playing at the Pit Stop in Celina, Ohio (operated by J&S Electronics). The high single game score went to regular TournaMAXX player Melissa Hartle, who plays at Scully's in Erie, Pennsylvania (operated by Warner's Coin Machine Co.). Melissa said, “I've been playing regularly in TournaMAXX events for 3 years now and I love the competition, especially when it features one of my favorite games!”
