TAR 22 : The Rematch
The Action Report is excited to announce TAR 22: Strickland vs Van Boening. This match will take place December 2,3,4 2011 at the TAR Studio in Las Vegas, NV. The match will be 9 Ball, race to 75, $5000 per man winner take all. Rules are winner breaks, rack your own with a magic rack on the TAR Studio 9 foot Diamond Pro Am with the "Fatboy" rails by RealKing Cobra that feature 4 1/8" pockets. The 9 ball must be made last and will spot up if made on the break or early in the rack on a combo or carom. Call shot/call safe rules will be used just like in the last match between these two.
This match is presented by CueSports International and will be the second match to be streamed live from the TAR Studio. The match will begin at 7 PM Eastern each day. Match format is race to 25 first day, first to 50 second day and finish the set on the third and final day.
There will be limited seating available in the TAR Studio for those who would like to come to Las Vegas to watch this match live. It is the weekend before Mosconi Cup so it may make for a nice pool trip to Vegas to watch TAR 22 and then the Mosconi Cup four days later.
Seating and PPV info will be up soon on theactionreport.com

Just to get it out of the way:
Yes the match is for $5k and not $10K each. It was what was possible and we wanted to do a match before the Mosconi Cup. Since no one is exactly jumping up to play $10K sets lately we figured it better to have these two go at it for a little less than to not do anything. Pretty sure the money won't be an issue with either one of these guys.
Yes this match has Shane in it again. Once again it is because he will play just about anyone and be flexible on the rules. I would love to have some different players in our matches and will do all I can to make it happen. Lately it seems not a lot of people are willing or able to make a game that both sides will agree to. Shane is pretty easy to work with, will play about anyone and never has money problems. So you are probably gonna see a lot of him from us.
Yes this is 9 Ball. I pushed for that because Shane beat Earl playing 10 ball on a nine footer, Earl beat Shane playing 10 Ball on a ten footer so why not do something different for the third one. Earl is arguably the best 9 ball player in history and almost definitely the best American 9 ball player. I thought it would be cool for these two to go at it old school and they agreed. Also the race to 75 means going to 25 each night which means no more 8 to 9 hour days. Each day should go pretty quick which everyone seems to want.
I know this match is going to annoy as many people as it will please so just let it begin.
