TheActionReport.com is proud to announce that OB Cues has signed on to sponsor an exciting new part of the 2008 BCAPL 8Ball Nationals. The TARPIT. The OB Cues TARPIT will be a players lounge and action room where the TheActionReport.com's two Challenge matches will take place as well as being a place for the fans and pro's to come and hang out, relax, and engage in everything from action matches to professional player appearances and clinics.

OB Cues launched a new line of cues at the recent Super Billiards Expo in Valley Forge to go along with their very popular line of low deflection shafts that have established a great reputation with players of all levels. To quote Jon Allen of OB Cues "OB Cues, not just shafts anymore." OB Cues has also taken over as primary sponsor of what was The Hunter Ladies 9 Ball Tour and is now The OB Cues Ladies 9 Ball Tour. People who stop by to watch any of the events in the TARPIT or just stop to hang out can get a look at some of these exciting new cues. OB Cues will have booth space in the vendor area as well to answer any questions and give players a chance to check out all of the outstanding products they have to offer.
