The league will try to flush a poor ending to yesterday's action. We're officially in the 8-ball majority part of the action. We'll begin with...
Central Warriors star Dustin using the red cue in 7-ball to make his season debut. Dustin scratched on the break but stayed strong to finish at 9 shots and one error. Westside Rockers veteran Goatee will bring the blue cue on for 8-ball. Goatee started slow with a cluster, but her play was clean and she ended in 22 shots with no errors. Southern Monarchs captain Panda is next, playing 8-ball with the silver cue. Panda made a bold play, intentionally taking his lone error with illegal contact. It worked, as he ended on 21 shots with a strong finish. More 8-ball with the silver cue is on tap for Freedom Cascades veteran Stripes. It was a rocky start as Stripes scratched on the break, but that would be her only error in 21 shots. Swordpoint Blades captain Snowball draws in for today's 5th game, playing 7-ball with the blue cue. Snowball didn't get anything on the break, but a strong run ended in 5 shots and no errors with a 5-7 bank combination to the top left.
Midland Predators veteran Americus gets deep into her qualifying with the purple cue on hand for 10-ball. Americus started well with a double-pot and then took two errors in 14 shots for a solid outing. Another Predator is next, as the captain Shawn shoots 9-ball with the red cue. Shawn was awful and frustrated with two errors and 21 shots in an ugly third outing of the year. Pacific Volcanoes veteran Twinkie I is up next, using the purple cue for 8-ball. Twinkie I showed great poise in her shots, taking just 17 with no errors to finish the game. Back in 10-ball, Diamond Gems captain Shadow plays the 9th game today. Shadow seemingly refused to miss until a late set-up play on the 10. He had 10 shots and no errors. Tysini Hummingbirds star Charli keeps the purple cue in action for 8-ball. Charli didn't get much outside of a scratch on her break. She needed 26 shots for this game.
The third group kicks off with Viewpoint Sound Meteors veteran Dani using the purple cue for 9-ball. Dani took an early error for a scratch, but she still closed the effort in 11 shots. Dani will get one of the earliest double-ups in qualifying history as she comes back for 10-ball with the blue cue. Dani was less strong this time, taking no errors but needing 23 shots as every close call or combination attempt failed. Boston Swifts captain Patches will take a turn with the blue cue in 8-ball. Patches was unforgiving to the rack, making it all in 18 shots and no errors after an early double-pot set the tone. More 8-ball follows for Southern Monarchs rookie Molly, who brings on the green cue. Molly didn't let a scratch on the break dampen her spirits, as she rallied to end in 19 shots. Closing the set, Viewpoint Sound Meteors star Princess plays 7-ball with the green cue. Princess was bold with a 1-4-7 combination to the top right, but a scratch forced her to play out the rack. She needed 12 shots to finish.
Capital City Sharpshooters mainstay Sprinkles plays 8-ball with the purple cue. Sprinkles didn't have much spread on the break, but no errors allowed her to finish in 22 shots. Modernistic Union third-year Kodiak is set to go in 8-ball with the silver cue. Kodiak was excellent, potting a pair on the break and keeping the momentum to end at 17 shots and no errors. More 8-ball follows for the 18th game of the day as the Freedom Cascades' Stinky plays in the event with the purple cue. Stinky did well early on, but he started to make late mistakes, and couldn't hit the 8 in the kitchen after multiple scratches, leading him to 31 shots and six errors. Modernistic Union sophomore Sydney C. is ready for her season debut, keeping the purple cue on for 7-ball. Sydney C. took some early chances and ended up with an error, but she closed in 10 shots for a solid effort. Queens Flames superstar Violetta is up next, using the silver cue in 8-ball. Violetta had a wonderful start, but after a scratch, she fell back and finished on 23 shots with just the one error.
The 21st game of the day goes to Pearl Surfers veteran Boots, who has the purple cue in hand for 7-ball. Boots was clean in her effort, but some misses pushed her score to 11 shots. Infinity Torpedoes captain Smudge draws in for 8-ball with the red cue next. Smudge was pretty sharp in her game, with one error and 21 shots to her name from the effort. Royal Crowns rookie Sunshine is set for his career debut with the silver cue in 7-ball. Sunshine didn't display the best shot selection choices, needing 15 shots with one error in a sloppy outing. Southridge Defenders star Bianca is ready for 10-ball with the red cue. Bianca started well but had to chase the 2, leading to 19 shots and two errors. Pronger Tridents star Spot will wrap up this batch with the blue cue in hand for 8-ball. Spot had trouble at first but locked things down late with 21 shots and no errors.
Group six opens with Capital City Sharpshooters captain Chris shooting 7-ball with the green cue. Chris sprayed down three balls on the break, including the 7 to shoot 0 shots and zero errors. Modernistic Union veteran Daisy follows that with the blue cue in hand for 8-ball. Daisy got herself into some tough positions and navigated them well enough to finish at 22 shots and two errors. The Warriors' Dustin is back for 8-ball with the green cue in his second appearance today. Dustin brought the heat on his shots, pushing his way to 18 shots and no errors in this outing. Going 29th today, Lorde makes her season debut in 7-ball with the red cue for the Capital City Sharpshooters. Lorde's break drove the 7 straight to the bottom right for the 0 shots and zero errors debut. The red cue stays on as Golden Pilots star Dusty shoots 10-ball to close the batch. Dusty was aggressive, sometimes too much, in finishing with 13 shots and two errors in a good game.
Batch seven starts as North Modernistic Nighthawks captain Peach does 7-ball with the green cue. Peach had some issues with form and one error early to end at 13 shots in her season debut. The Rockers' Goatee gets a second game today, also using the green cue for 9-ball. Goatee made the most of her two errors, getting out of bad positioning to score 13 shots after a pair went down on the break. More 9-ball follows in the 33rd game today, as Terrace City Knights captain Kiwi uses the red cue. Kiwi looked to be in trouble initially, but a brilliant two-rail kick to make the 2 led her to finish in 9 shots without an error. A season debut with the blue awaits Southridge Defenders veteran Wario in 7-ball. Wario wasn't able to keep his shooting pure, taking three errors among 14 shots in a poor debut for the year. Central Warriors newcomer Graham finishes this group with the silver cue in hand for 9-ball. Graham couldn't get many good looks early on, taking two errors in his 17 shots with a decent finish.
The eighth group gets going with Stripes of the Cascades returning to play 9-ball with the silver cue in her second game today. Stripes posted 10 shots with a 6-9 combination to the top right to finish early and error-free. The 37th player called today is Twinkie III, who will also use the silver cue in 9-ball as she represents the Whitewater Shores. Twinkie III had some good bounces and some bad luck, resulting in two errors among 15 shots for the game. After that, Eastside Sharks rookie Lily plays 8-ball with the green cue. Lily navigated some early difficulties to finish in 23 shots with no errors. Harrison Specters newcomer Dewey checks in for 10-ball with the red cue. Dewey made a good move to get the 10 to the top right, but left it hanging until finally converting a 9-10 combination to end on 17 shots and one error. Sharpshooters captain Chris gets a second appearance today, using the silver cue in 8-ball. Chris was smooth and steady over 18 shots, and he took no errors in the strong appearance.
The ninth bunch begins when Southern Monarchs veteran Pounce does 7-ball with the red cue. Pounce needed 18 shots without an error after spending too much time chasing the 1 in his season debut. In 9-ball, Capital City Sharpshooters newcomer Paps uses the purple cue. Paps settled in nicely with 11 shots and no errors in a quick outing. Midland Predators newcomer Chicky Phil goes next with the green cue in 8-ball. Chicky Phil kept it simple at first, then let creativity shine later in his 19-shot game with one error. The Victoria Spurs' Yekaterina keeps the green cue up for 9-ball. Yekaterina put the 9 near the bottom left on the break, then played smart before deflecting off the 4 to take the 9 down for 7 shots and no errors. Archtown Arrows rookie Greg debuts in 7-ball with the purple cue in today's 45th game. Greg had some unusual bounces on his break, but the 7 fell in the top left for 0 shots and zero errors anyway.
The final group is led by Oceanside Waves rookie Megan, who makes her career debut in 7-ball with the silver cue. Megan struggled from the start and took a double-error for missed contact and a scratch. She wound up with 15 shots in the game. Infinity Torpedoes star Fluffina is ready to go with the red cue in 9-ball. Fluffina overcame a couple of errors to finish in 13 shots, aided by sinking a pair on the break. Archtown Arrows captain Sally draws in for 8-ball with the silver cue. Sally was fiery to start, then tamed a bit to end with 18 shots and no errors as she practiced caution. Atlantic Pirates rookie Buddy gets his second career game in 8-ball with the red cue. Buddy had a rough run with 26 shots and one error in his time. Leonardo will end the day in 10-ball with the green cue. Leonardo finished the game in 16 shots but also suffered three errors along the way.
That's it for today's action. We'll be back at it tomorrow.
