After an unexpectedly long mental health break, we're back in action. When we left off, Qualifiers were approximately one-quarter complete, and we'll now kick it into overdrive to complete the rest before getting the season started. First up...
Central Warriors star Dustin plays 10-ball with the purple cue. Dustin looked a bit rusty, as expected, and ended with 20 shots and three errors to resume the league's play. More 10-ball sees Swordpoint Blades veteran Stealth using the red cue. Stealth was worse, taking only two errors but needing 25 shots to clear the table. The red cue stays in action for Pacific Volcanoes veteran Cowzart playing 8-ball. Cowzart was nearly unstoppable with 16 shots and no errors in a fantastic second appearance of the year. Back in 10-ball, Infinity Torpedoes captain Smudge shoots with the green cue. Smudge navigated a tough rack well, needing only 16 shots with two errors in this game. The Warriors' Dustin will get a quick second game today, using the purple cue in 12-ball. Dustin seemed a little more confident here, taking two on the break and ending with just one error in 21 shots.
The second group kicks off with Stonebridge Wolves youngster Hershey making his second debut in 7-ball with the blue cue. Hershey suffered a slow start but closed in 12 shots with no errors. Central Warriors newcomer Mr. Snowman gets a look in 10-ball with the blue cue. It wasn't a graceful game, but an early finish on a 5-10 combination to the top left sealed Mr. Snowman's effort at 14 shots and two errors. Pacific Volcanoes mainstay Ms. Kitty draws in for 8-ball with the green cue. Ms. Kitty would like to forget this outing, with 28 shots and two errors added to her ledger in a rough game. The Warriors' Mr. Snowman is back in 12-ball with the silver cue. Mr. Snowman needed 23 shots with no errors to finish off his second game of the day. Before the lunch break, Maplewood Lumberjacks rookie Marissa makes her debut in 7-ball with the silver cue. Marissa showed confidence with 9 shots and no errors despite an empty break.
The third batch starts with Capital City Sharpshooters newcomer Paps using the purple cue in 10-ball. Paps racked up 15 shots and one error in a reasonably strong performance. The Blades' Stealth draws in for today's 12th game, using the green cue in 12-ball. Stealth needed 31 shots and four errors, getting trapped out of position on the side pockets. Queens Flames captain Crystal steps up with the red cue for her season debut in 7-ball. Crystal tried to play safe, but she ended at 13 shots and one error in a bad outing. Tysini Hummingbirds star Charli is up for 12-ball with the purple cue. Charli had a remarkable break, but five errors and awful positioning dragged her down to 25 shots. Wrapping up the set, Whitewater Shores captain Shaggy does 13-ball with the blue cue. Shaggy found her footing pretty well, although three errors pushed her to 22 shots for the game.
Another 13-ball game awaits as the Warriors' Mr. Snowman goes for a third time today, using the silver cue. Mr. Snowman couldn't make a good break stand up, as he needed 24 shots and three errors to finish. Klaus is ready for his Archtown Arrows debut, keeping the silver cue up for 7-ball. Klaus made a ball on the break and produced a steady 9 shots and no errors. Southern Monarchs veteran Mams plays 8-ball with the red cue in today's 18th game. Mams struggled from the start, adding three errors in 30 shots for an awful second game of the season. Atlantic Pirates stalwart Steven gets a look in 7-ball with the silver cue. Steven needed 12 shots after a hot start quickly turned cold, but he didn't take any errors. Lumberjacks rookie Marissa will play a second game today, using the purple cue in 8-ball. Marissa fired off 19 shots without an error in a strong outing.
Group five opens as Lighton Prestige mainstay Spirit shoots 8-ball with the blue cue. Spirit fell apart late, needing 25 shots with two errors to complete the outing. Another 8-ball game with the blue cue features North Modernistic Nighthawks captain Peach. A solid effort saw Peach suffer only one error in 22 shots. Her biggest rival, Modernistic Union captain Ms. Puppy, is set for 10-ball with the red cue. Ms. Puppy picked up four errors among 15 shots in a recklessly successful game. Infinity Torpedoes veteran Fluffina strikes 10-ball with the silver cue. Fluffina needed 18 shots, and she took two errors, but a hot finish kept it from being truly terrible. The group ends with Royal Crowns veteran Jake getting his season debut with the red cue in 7-ball. Jake ripped down two balls on the break and took no errors in 6 shots after that for a good start to his year.
The sixth set is led by Tysini Hummingbirds sophomore Sarah, who uses the green cue in 9-ball. Sarah made two on the break, and added just one error in a crisp 9 shots. Harrison Specters captain Twinkie II keeps the green cue up for 10-ball. Twinkie II had a good section in the middle, but a late fade dropped her to 21 shots and no errors in the outing. Another captain goes in 10-ball when the Golden Pilots' Valencia takes up the silver cue. Valencia commanded the rack immediately and ended with only 12 shots and no errors. The 29th game today goes to Oceanside Waves rookie Rocky, who has the purple cue in hand for 7-ball. Rocky put the 7 near the top left to start his game, then converted with a deflection off the 3 to end at 4 shots and no errors. Closing out this batch, Brownie of the Royal Crowns does 8-ball with the red cue. Brownie was on track for a good effort before she illegally made the 8. That pushed her to 25 shots with five errors.
Everton Eagles mainstay Cleo is set to do 9-ball with the silver cue to begin this batch. Cleo would like a better break, but she can't go back, instead being stuck with 20 shots and three errors. More 9-ball sees Queens Flames superstar Violetta shooting with the blue cue. Violetta made a pair on the break and cleared the rack in 9 shots without an error. The 33rd player drawn today is Jennifer of the Terrace City Knights, who has the blue cue in hand for 9-ball as well. Jennifer posted 13 shots and one error in a relatively strong outing. Infinity Torpedoes rookie Blaze draws in for 10-ball with the red cue. Blaze showed strong control, although a late fade pushed his score to 15 shots without an error. Tysini Hummingbirds captain Leandra will finish the group with the red cue in hand for 8-ball. Leandra pummeled the rack down in 18 shots without taking any errors.
The first dive into Rotation sees Leonardo of the Diamond Gems play with the purple cue. Leonardo set a positive standard with 22 shots and four errors in the event. The 37th game of the day sees North Modernistic Nighthawks newcomer Gizmo try 9-ball with the red cue. Gizmo pulled off a 17-shot game without an error, struggling to capitalize on a short-lived hot start. After that, Westside Rockers veteran Slinks is up for 8-ball with the blue cue. A scratch on the break and an illegal potting of the 8 slowed Slinks to 22 shots with six errors in an otherwise solid game. Vincent's Everton Eagles debut is set for now, with the blue cue in hand for 7-ball. Vincent made a good impression on his new fans, ending in 2 shots with no errors after converting a 1-2 combination to the bottom left and a 1-7 bank combination to the top right. Pearl Surfers veteran Boots rounds out this group with 8-ball and the blue cue. Boots wasted her early momentum, closing with 25 shots and one error.
Pronger Tridents captain Precious gets her season debut in 7-ball with the red cue. Precious took a couple of early swipes at the 7, but settled for 8 shots and no errors in the end. Capital City Sharpshooters veteran Missy is next up, using the green cue in 8-ball. Missy put together a pretty average game with 22 shots and an error as her quick start faded late. Pacific Volcanoes veteran Leonette follows with 10-ball and the red cue. Leonette didn't make it easy with two errors, but a 3-10 combination to the bottom left ended her turn at 11 shots. Cubby will make his Web City Spiders debut with the green cue in hand for 7-ball. Cubby was caught between all-out attack and cautiousness, ending with 13 shots and one error as he failed to commit to either style. His rookie teammate Omari will follow with a career debut, also using the green cue for 7-ball. Omari had an identical effort with 13 shots and an error, although he saw more of a struggle maintain a positive start.
The last group gets going as Specters captain Twinkie II plays 12-ball with the silver cue in her second game today. Twinkie II barely held on but took no errors in 20 shots for a solid performance. Her sister, Boston Swifts veteran Puff II, is set for a season debut with the red cue in 7-ball. Puff II overcame a struggle in the middle to end at 10 shots and no errors to start her campaign. Tridents captain Precious keeps the red cue up for 8-ball in her second game today. Precious took an error but it didn't slow her much at all, with 19 shots needed to finish. Yekaterina of the Victoria Spurs will keep the red cue going with 12-ball. Yekaterina's march through qualifying continued with 16 shots and no errors here. Finally, Pronger Tridents veteran Spot does 9-ball with the red cue. Spot salvaged his game with an early finish to end at 15 shots and two errors.
That's all for now. We're back in action with plans to play seven days a week due to the ongoing Covid-19 quarantine (as a one-person operation, this can keep going!).
