RAFFLE Status:

1. Kyle B, Table 7: (second time this season) made the 3-ball in the corner on his break shot. The 4-ball kissed the 1-ball just enough to make the 4-ball sit on the cue ball. He measured for a kick at the 1-ball and just missed making it by an inch or so!
2. Bill T, Table 9: (first time picked this season) also made the 3-ball in the same corner pocket on his break. He had a much better shot at the 1-ball and made it with ease, but the 2-ball was in a bad spot, therefore, he elected to take 2/9ths of the pot!

   • Great first shot for the 1-ball.

RAFFLE Status:

1. Sultan, Table 14: Picked for the 1st time in a while (before my records!), sunk the 2-ball in the top left corner pocket. The cue ball and the 1-ball were almost mirrored from each other in opposite corners making it a very straight, long shot. The 3-ball was on the side of the cue ball. Sultan hit it a little hard to try to come back down for the 3-ball and in doing so, missed.
2. Nancy K, Table 8: Made the 4-ball in the left side pocket. Looked like a decent shot on the 1-ball until the 9-ball rolled up by its side taking away the cut shot. Coaching (which is allowed) from the players watching said to kick it hard! But she looked at it and tried to bank it. It missed the pocket intended but rattled in the other corner pocket!

3. Scott C shot a 75.

RAFFLE Status:

1. Larry P, Table 2; 1st time picked from my records, so it’s been a while! Looked like it was going to be a dry break until the 5-ball bounced off the bottom rail and knocked the 6-ball in the left side pocket after it had already passed it!! He had an easy shot with a nice angle on the 1-ball in that same side pocket to come up for the 2-ball in the opposite side, however, the cue ball just kept rolling and rolling until it sat right on top of the 7-ball which was hanging in the top left corner pocket. (Nice if had knocked the 7-ball in!) He asked how much a ball and opted to take 2/9ths of the pot.
2. Larry’s teammate Bryan W, Table 03; 1st time since week 14 of 2023_24 Winter Season. Made the 7-ball in the top left corner pocket. The 1-ball was an easy-peasy shot, but leaving no position for the 2-ball, so he, therefore, also opted for 2/9ths of the pot!

2. Mark H, picked for his 1st time this season since week 3 of the 2025 Winter Season, made 2 balls on his Table 13 break.  He had a sharp cut on the 1-ball in the left side pocket.

2. Scott C, Table 9; first time picked in a very long time, made 2 balls on the break. He had an easy shot for the 2-ball with great position for the 3-ball. He was debating to try for position to get on the 4-ball, but decided to just make the 3-ball and cash out with 4/9ths of the pot.

2. Sean B was chosen next, Table 4; made the 6-ball in the top right corner pocket. He had a clean shot on the 1-ball in the bottom right corner pocket, but shockingly, he missed.
