In addition to a great tourney, we also had a ton of support from league sponsors providing raffle prizes. Grand prize was a 5 hour Lake Michigan Charter, sponsored by Fox Brothers in Port Washington. Gary “One Shot” Kierzek took home the prize with a single ticket purchase! Congrats Gary – catch one for me!

I’d like to thank the sponsor venues who put up with us all year. Kelly’s, Stumpy’s, and Sportsman’s in Wind Lake, Danny Haskells, Moose Lodge, MugZs, and TJs Roundabout in Muskego, and Romeys and Rawson Pub in Franklin. Your ongoing support for the players and league has helped us to become one of the strongest in the state. We thank you!

In addition to the team sponsors, we also had outstanding prizes donated by outside sponsors – PB Station (Vic Rodriguez), Panera Bread (Jackie), Tyler and Margaret Styer, On the Snap! (Mr. Hannes), Brave Billiards (Brad Guillette) and Brew City Promo (Vic Isaj). Thank you all for helping make our event a huge success.

To the staffs at all the playing venues – thank you! Despite the zoo this tourney can sometimes become, you all handled things with grace and a friendly smile.

A special shout out to the volunteers who helped make the tourney run like clockwork – Jackie McLeod, Bud Radtke, Mike Obradovich, Tim Armbruster, Jeff Shesler, and Mike Nennig – You all helped to take a crazy week and turn it into an absolute blast. I can’t thank you all enough for all you do!

Last, but certainly not least – thank you to all the players in the tournament and league throughout the year. We had some technical glitches with a bracket breaking and some craziness on the final day with packed venues. Despite all of that, you all were gracious with your words and unflinching in your support of our league and the tournament. Your support means a lot to me personally and I know it does to the venues and volunteers who try to provide the best environment for the event.

Looking forward to even better things in 2027!

Hell of a mid season team tourney for the Muskego Pool League! Great matches with incredible shot making!

In the end, Stumpy's/Boat House 5 went wire to wire, defeating Stumpy's/Boat House 3 in the final. Congrats to Mike Silber, Jeff Hayes, Mark Josing, and Randy Gentry for pulling this off. And congrats to Tim Bast, Mike Frisch, Tom Kreuger, and Shawn Rohrer for grinding through the B side after losing their first match of the tourney.

We ended up with 13 teams in the tourney, 10 of which opted in to the small ($40) and large ($80) side pots. The league added $600 in sponsor money for the 100% tourney payout for a total of $1900 in tourney money, $400 in the small pot, and $800 in the large pot. In addition to the limited edition Muskego Pool league insulated tumblers for the Champs and Runners-Up, the payouts were:

Tourney / Large / Small
1st - $1000 / $480 / $240 - Stumpy's / Boat House 5
2nd - $500 / $240 / $120 - Stumpy's / Boat House 3
3rd - $250 / $80 / $40 - Moose 1
4th - $150 - Moose 2

A huge thanks to the team at Kelly's and Stumpy's for an outstanding experience on and off the tables! And thanks to all of the players for supporting our league and our tournaments. I hope you all enjoyed the event as much as I did, and look forward to bigger and better things next year!

Apologies for some of the lighting issues in the pics, and for Jeff Hayes taking a well deserved nap... 🤣🤣
