Outstanding outing(s):
- The final tournament match was ready to play at about 10:30pm, but the participants elected to chop the pot evenly instead.
- The team of Mona T + John V (team nickname was 8 Shots) won their semi-final match against the team of Ed S + Nancy K.
- The team nicknamed Tom Cruise (partners were Tom K + Cruz A) won their semi-final match against the team of Esteban Q + Lito G.
- Rumor has it that 8 Shots went undefeated throughout. Also ran out their final two games – thus the nickname.
RAFFLE Status:
- Mike K sank the 1-ball on his Table 13 break and had unimpeded shape for the 2-ball in the southeast corner. He popped it in and kept shapes alive for the 3-ball into the northeast corner. It was sitting slightly off the northeast rail and slightly south of the pocket. Mike spent a little time planning and then sank it. His leave on the 4-ball was undesirable, so he cashed in for one third of the available pot.
- Dave G sank at least one ball on his break shot and followed it with a successful 1-ball shot. The 2-ball was slightly off the south side pocket, but Dave chose the southeast corner pocket instead. It was a tough choice whether or not to even shoot because it wasn’t a straight-on angle for the cue. He missed.
- The remaining raffle pot rolls over to next week’s official 2022 Spring season sign-up night!
