It's the 30th anniversary of the first Legends of One Pocket event this year so I thought it would be nice if we could all share some materials/stories/photos etc.
The second Legends event was held in Philly later that year and is covered here - http://onepocket.org/forum/index.php?threads/legends-of-one-pocket-ii-philadelphia-style-1991.15414
The brackets and final standings
I have gone through my Accu-Stats videos of the event with a view to reconstructing who played who in the event. Coupled with the information from the The National Billiard News article, below is an incomplete list of matches and results.
This was a single elimination event. Judging by the payouts, there had to be 64 players (($39,200 - 20,000)/$300), of which 16 were seeded and 48 at large. Therefore, the 48 at large players had to get down to 16 first. On this basis, there were sixteen matches played in each of the first and second rounds.
Without further ado...
Any help filling the gaps is gratefully received.
The payouts
Per the NBN article (which I will post up later) the payouts were:
