This is one from the vault - the semi-final match between Mike Massey and Earl Strickland from the 1992 Tour Championship - from the Cook Convention Center in Memphis, Tn. This tournament featured the Meucci Shot Clocks - players are on a 20 second shot clock - two 20 minute halves. Great run out 9- ball, a few full-cue jump shots by both players - some familiar faces in the crowd - and Buddy Hall calling the ion with Kevin Cusick. There are even some tip segments featuring David Howard and Jim Rempe. I uploaded this the way it was on the tape, complete with some pretty cool old school pool commercials. enjoy!\r

FTR. The Tournament was won by Roger Griffis - he defeated Earl in the final.\r

Updated - If youre one of the people that doesnt like the rules, I agree, but this video was posted to display one of the most successful eras of the Professional Billiards Tour. While I appreciate comments, the negative and rude ones will be deleted. I follow the rule that says, if you dont like it, then why watch it? \r

For people that post rude comments about Earl, I consider Earl a friend. I delete the negative and insulting comments out of respect for my friend. If you don;t understand that, then I dont know what to tell you. For those that enjoy this and my other videos, thanks for all of your support for the game of pool!
