Shootersville Sports Bar & Grill Pockets Predator UPA Pro Tour Championship; 100 Top World Players To Compete At Classy Billiard Hall PR Newswire -- November 5, 2002 DELRAY BEACH, Fla., Nov. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- More than one hundred of the world's top pool players will gather next month under the Tiffany lamps of Shootersville Sports Bar & Grill to compete in the Super Bowl of pool, the Predator UPA Pro Tour Championship 2002. It's the first time that world class tournament will be held outside of its traditional hotel environment and under the thirty-foot high ceilings of Shootersville, Delray Beach's classy billiard hall and restaurant. Welcoming the decision by The United Pool Players Association, Shootersville owner Joe Dileo said, "It's an honor to be chosen to host this exceptional championship of pool from December 4 - 8. We're pulling out all the stops to make this the most memorable experience for these top players and the people who love to watch them compete." As part of the preparations for the championship, Shootersville, 600 N. Congress Ave. Suite 300-A, is sprucing up its 21 custom made pool tables with new cloth, polishing its Tiffany lamps and adding bleachers for seating for two hundred patrons in front of the action. The Sports Bar & Grill is also hosting the awards banquet at the end of the tournament. UPA President Charlie Williams says that decision to choose Shootersville to host the world-class pool tournament was an easy one. "Widely considered to be the best poolroom in Florida, Shootersville's classic pool hall environment was the ideal choice." In addition to its classic pool tables, Shootersville is proud of another stake in history. Its main bar is the original from the well-known Churchill's pub in London which Dileo purchased and installed earlier this year. And with 35 television screens, including two large screen TVs in a living room setting, sport fans follow their teams in comfort, while selecting from a full menu that includes steaks and seafood. Next month Shootersville plans to feature accomplished classical violinist Jaimy Lynn who accompanied Barbara Streisand at the London taping of Norman Lear's "I Love America," for another first -- a program titled "Bank Shots With Brahms" -- classical music to play pool.
