On Saturday, September 24, Flights Pub put up the 44 point Players Cup to be challenged.
Ringer’s Pub, Mountlake Terrace, took the bait. Todd Jordan, Mike Williams, Brian Smith, and Brett Brophy made the drive to Flights to play a familiar group including Dave Bresee, Jeff Springer Jr, Dan Osborne, and Bill Livingston.
T-Town “Smack-Down”
By Jennifer Wood
It felt like it was just yesterday when Dawsons headed down to Kent to battle Cloud 9 for The Mixed Memorial Cup and ultimately brought it home. But we were quickly reminded how time flies when we heard our next match would be against The Home Plate, also of Tacoma. This was going to prove to be a hell of a match, and both bars knew it. T-Town against T-Town, forget North vs. South, this was civil rivalry in South, and bragging rights for good ol’ Tacoma!
Novice Cup beatdown
By Scott Kringle
Saturday, September 24 was a busy day Flights Pub in Everett when they hosted not just the Novice Cup, but also the Players Cup, a Texas Hold ‘Em tourney, plus the Huskies were sticking it to their opponents.
Challenging Flights today for their coveted 10-point Novice Cup was a group of first-time cup players representing the Scorecard Bar and Grill out of Seattle’s Northgate area, including Kristina Vonhaartman, Jessica Hester, Sarah Pickett, and Judy Hester. Every one of them were rated a Medalist 2. They would have their hands full today, because Flights team has been there, and done that. Mary Cowles, Sarah Moms, Suzanne Manville, and Holly Weaver came in as a 10-point team, and they had no intention of giving up their beloved Novice Cup.

There’s nothing better than a cold beer, a fat juicy cheeseburger, and oh yeah, a Challenge Cup match on a Saturday afternoon. Dawson’s Bar & Grill at 56th and South Tacoma Way was serving up all three on August 6. It was Hot Shot Cup time, boys and girls, and Dawson’s Allen and Aulton Dugan (the twins), Sue Dugan, along with Talya Soria were prepared to defend the very cup they just stole away from the Pickled Onion in July.

4×7 Cup gets Pickled
4×7 Cup – Saturday, June 25
By Jennifer Wood
On Saturday, June 25, the well-known Dawson’s 4×7 Cup team for Tacoma including Pat, Adot, Sean, and Ron C. welcomed Pickled Onion’s team of Brian, Mark, Carl, and Kevin.
We knew this would be the Cup NOT to miss, and boy did they prove it. Both teams shot exceptionally well, and many of the games came down to whichever team could make it to the board first. As we kept score, we watched almost every game go back and forth, Pickled Onion would win one, then Dawson’s and so on, and so on. There was never a dull moment.

That team was Pickled Onion Pub, and Simon, Kevin, Jason, and Loree each shared a vision. The thought of walking into Cloud 9 and gently retrieving what was once theirs years ago.
