There were 400 people competing in the tournament including Exeter's Joe Fulop, a three -time world champion. Fulop placed sixth, with 67 points in his first round. Fulop said the finals were played as a four man round robin, and came down to Beierling and Bryan Cook of Toronto. In the end, Beierling won. "It was a job well done by Jason," Fulop said. "He played tremendous- ly well." Fulop also starred in the World Crokinole documentary "ffick" that was recently shown for a selected audience in Waterloo. First-time feature filmmakers, cousins Joshua and Johnathan Steckley worked on the film for a year and a half. The movie plot is about the tour- nament in Tavistock, and about how Mr. Crokinole, Wayne Kelly, brought this idea to the town. The movie is said to have some "light- hearted moments" and turns what many think of an unexciting sport, into a test of will and stamina. The movie was dedicated in mem- ory to a close friend of Fulop, William Chandler of Exeter. Accompanying Fulop in the film were 2000 winner Al Fuhr of Shakespeare, Robert C. Mader of Kitchener, Dan Shantz of Shingletown, brothers Oscar Weber of Drayton and Enoch Weber of St. Jacob's, Waldron Eckstein of New Hamburg and Paul Sorely of Kitchener. If you enjoy crokinole, the audi- ence concluded this is "one ffick you must see." 2 ExpressVu receivers for the price of 1 Get 2 receivers for $98 Save $100 ExpressVu'" service from Bell — Canada's #1 digital TV provider • 100% Digital sound and picture • 500 Channels and 16 theme packs to choose from • Interactive television—over 45 games and interactive versions of your favourite channels like TSN and CBC News Plus— an ExpressVu exclusive Exclusive Bonus Offer!
