We're onto our tenth day of qualifying, beginning with...
Whitewater Shores veteran Katharine playing 9-ball with the purple cue. Katharine had some shaky positioning at first, but a 5-9 bank combination to the top right ended the game at 6 shots with one error. Lighton Prestige rookie Angelica goes second today, shooting 12-ball with the blue cue. Angelica didn't let bad positioning at the top side get to her, taking just one error in a reasonable 23 shots. Atlantic Pirates stalwart Steven draws in for 8-ball with the silver cue. Steven kept a steady hand on his shots, finishing in 22 shots with one error for a scratch. Eastside Sharks rookie Toki is set to play 9-ball with the green cue. Toki looked very in-form during his game, converting the rack in just 11 shots with no errors. Terrace City Knights captain Kiwi will close the group with the red cue in hand for 10-ball. Kiwi finally faltered on the 8, running a score up to 21 shots and two errors.
Another Terrace City Knight tries 10-ball when Jennifer picks up the purple cue for the event. Jennifer had a firm break and then converted her second look at the 5-10 combination to the top left for a 9-shot, no error finish. More 10-ball follows as Capital City Sharpshooters captain Chris shoots with the blue cue. Chris took an error among a slow start, but an 8-10 combination to the bottom left finished his game at 18 shots. Everton Eagles veteran Puff III gets the eighth game today, shooting 9-ball with the purple cue. Puff III put on a perfect example of how not to play the event, needing 20 shots with two errors to finish, and that was with a little luck on her side. Queens Flames veteran Mario is set to play 12-ball with the green cue. Mario excelled after some early positioning, ending on 18 shots with one late error. Wrapping up the group, Sage of the Victoria Spurs does 10-ball with the purple cue. Sage rattled off 17 shots with one error this time, a solid performance from the third-year.
Central Warriors newcomer Graham is set for 13-ball with the purple cue. Graham posted 20 shots and no errors in a commanding turn. Southridge Defenders veteran Bianca takes the blue cue up for 12-ball. Bianca was entertaining and strong with just 16 shots and no errors needed.

Lighton Prestige veteran Citrus is ready to go in 10-ball with the red cue in today's 14th game. Citrus scratched on the break and then finished in 14 shots anyway in a strong outing. Southern Monarchs rookie Molly brings us to the lunch break with the blue cue used in 12-ball. Molly didn't do herself any favors with errors, but she did finish on 20 shots and three errors.
After the break, Southridge Defenders captain Stephanie uses the silver cue in 12-ball. Stephanie posted 22 shots with no errors in a decent outing.

The 18th player called today is Pronger Tridents star Spot, who shoots 10-ball with the purple cue. Spot started well before a slight fade at the end, closing with 16 shots and one error for a scratch. The purple cue stays in action for Pronger Tridents newcomer Avril, who shoots 9-ball. Avril didn't get anything on the break, but a 1-9 bank combination fell at the top right early on to give her 1 shot and no errors. North Modernistic Nighthawks captain Peach will also use the purple cue in 9-ball. Peach wasn't as fast, but she kept a clean outing in 12 shots.
The fifth group starts with Whitewater Shores veteran Marsell shooting 12-ball with the blue cue. Marsell was good in this outing, taking 19 shots and no errors to complete the game. Viewpoint Sound Meteors star Frosty takes on 10-ball with the silver cue. Frosty didn't have much consistency in 18 shots, and she was behind at the start with her lone error being a scratch on the break. Commerce Tradewinds youngster Rosemary has the red cue up for Rotation. Some difficult shooting positions pushed Rosemary to take four errors among her 28 shots. Royal Crowns rookie Sunshine goes next with the green cue in hand for 10-ball. Sunshine wasted a good start, ending at 19 shots and one error. The 25th game of the day goes to Atlantic Pirates rookie Buddy, who shoots 9-ball with the green cue. Buddy had a good middle section, but two errors and a late struggle put him at 15 total shots.
Group six opens as Knights captain Kiwi takes a second game today, using the silver cue in 12-ball. Kiwi was alright with 22 shots and two errors in a fairly standard performance. Another 12-ball game sees Golden Pilots captain Valencia try her luck with the green cue. Valencia was a tick better, taking one error in 21 shots. The Spurs' Sage will also take a second game today, using the green cue in 12-ball. Sage was not smart with her positioning or execution, requiring 28 shots and three errors to finish. The 29th game of the day belongs to Pearl Surfers co-captain Neopolitan, who has the purple cue on hand for 8-ball. Neopolitan posted 25 shots and two errors, never recovering from a slow start before making it worse late.

Up next, Oceanside Waves star Celestia makes her season debut in 7-ball with the red cue. Celestia ripped the rack down in 8 shots with no errors, a strong start to the year for the young star.

Southern Monarchs captain Panda kicks off this group with the purple cue in hand for 12-ball. Panda was strong and assertive in his 19 shots, avoiding errors for a good game. The 37th player drawn today is Harrison Specters captain Twinkie II, who uses the red cue for 13-ball. Twinkie II had a great start, but two errors and bad positioning doomed her to 25 shots. Another captain follows as the Boston Swifts' Patches uses the red cue in 10-ball. Patches did have one error for an illegally potted ball, but she finished the game in 13 shots anyway. Pacific Volcanoes captain Starlight is next, with the blue cue used in her 9-ball outing. Starlight didn't get away cleanly, taking 16 shots with one error this time. Diamond Gems newcomer Salmo draws in for 9-ball with the purple cue. Salmo was a little better with 15 shots, but a couple of rough patches slowed him down, including his lone error as a scratch.
The 41st game today goes to Knights captain Kiwi, her third appearance of the day being in 13-ball with the blue cue. Kiwi let a good start fade toward the end, as a pair of errors required 23 shots to resolve. Victoria Spurs star Yekaterina will also take a crack at 13-ball, using the silver cue. Yekaterina stormed out to a great start, then closed at 18 shots despite a late error. Harrison Specters newcomer Dewey is ready to try 12-ball with the purple cue. Dewey had no fortune at the end, taking two errors and slipping all the way to 29 shots. The Eagles' Puff III gets yet another appearance, also using the purple cue in 12-ball. Puff III narrowly avoided frustrations, taking 19 shots and just one error in a game that could have been much worse. Lighton Prestige mainstay Spirit steps in for 9-ball with the green cue. Spirit was strong at first, but one error and late misses put her at 14 shots.
The final group gets going as Pedey makes his Todavía Stills debut in 7-ball with the silver cue. Pedey did not impress his new team, taking 13 shots with two errors after a bad break spoiled the rest of the game too. Archtown Arrows newcomer Klaus keeps the silver cue active for 8-ball. Klaus showed control to not gamble on a low-percentage shot late, ending at 18 shots and one error in the game. Along to 9-ball, as the Westside Rockers' Slinks plays with the green cue. Slinks got great movement on the break, and her 4-9 combination to the top left ended her outing at 5 shots and no errors. Lighton Prestige veteran Shiny will also do 9-ball, but she plays with the blue cue. Shiny couldn't match that level, ending at 16 shots and no errors. Today's finale sees Atlantic Pirates captain Delila play 10-ball with the green cue. Delila was close to a good outing before the 6 stalled her. She had 20 shots and one error.
We'll be back for more tomorrow as promised.
