Easter finished in 11 shots, a commanding effort with no errors. Victoria Spurs newcomer Rosalina tries 8-ball with the silver cue here.

Royal Crowns veteran Brownie will finish the first group with 15-ball and the purple cue. Brownie didn't have the best control, taking four errors among 31 shots, with a late fade costing her a good game.
The sixth game today goes to Southern Monarchs veteran Dominic, who has the silver cue up for 12-ball. Dominic had a good outing, taking just one error for a scratch and ending in 20 shots. Tysini Hummingbirds newcomer Hughbert follows for 10-ball with the green cue. Hughbert made the 10 on the break, a null play, and then finished the game in 15 shots without an error. Web City Spiders newcomer Nibbles keeps the green cue up for 8-ball. Nibbles had a strong outing, playing very well early and closing in 20 shots with one error.

Pacific Volcanoes veteran Cowzart draws in for 10-ball with the silver cue. Cowzart turned a rotten break into 12 shots with one error for a great game. Whitewater Shores newcomer Smokey brings on the blue cue for his 10-ball turn. Smokey didn't have much in the tank this time, ending in 18 shots with two errors. The 14th player called today is Everton Eagles newcomer Vincent, who plays 8-ball with the red cue. Vincent made an absolute mess of his finish after a less-than-confident start, which gave him 26 shots and one error. We'll hit the lunch break with Victoria Spurs star Yekaterina ending her qualifying with the blue cue in hand for Accuracy, the fourth player to exit. Yekaterina's poor break rippled through the game, requiring 25 shots to finish. Her totals were 152 shots and eight errors.
After the break, Viewpoint Sound Meteors star Princess shoots 12-ball with the red cue. Princess made easy work of this rack, ending in 16 shots with one error for an illegally potted ball on the break.

Maplewood Lumberjacks newcomer Vladimir will keep it in 10-ball but use the red cue. Vladimir did his part with 12 shots and no errors, finishing a 5-10 combination to the top left at the end. More 10-ball awaits when Southern Monarchs veteran Pounce uses the purple cue in the event. Pounce was not good, taking way too long to find his shot as he ended with 22 shots and three errors.

Group five opens as Web City Spiders captain Jack shoots Rotation with the blue cue. Jack's break was bad, but he didn't pay for it until the end, which saw him finish with 32 shots and two errors. Midland Predators sophomore Kitty is set to play 9-ball with the purple cue. Kitty finished the game in 14 shots with one early error for missed contact. Back in Rotation, Southridge Defenders captain Stephanie plays with the red cue. Stephanie ripped the rack down in only 18 shots, with one error as she scratched on a tough shot. Freedom Cascades captain Stinky will also play Rotation, but he'll use the green cue. Stinky didn't play the cleanest game, but three errors in 25 shots amounted to a solid performance. The 25th player drawn today is Westside Rockers veteran Goatee, who will play 13-ball with the blue cue. Goatee had a relatively good effort, taking two errors but still ending in 25 shots.
The sixth set starts with Swordpoint Blades veteran Stealth shooting 13-ball with the green cue. Stealth overfilled the bottom left on the break, but that was his lone error in 19 shots. Modernistic Union veteran Daisy goes next with the red cue in 10-ball. Daisy had plenty of looks at the 10, eventually deflecting off the 7 to sink it at the top left for 11 shots and no errors. After that, Pronger Tridents veteran Potter shoots 10-ball with the purple cue. Potter posted 13 shots and no errors in another crisp performance. Whitewater Shores veteran Twinkie III is ready to go with the green cue in 12-ball. Twinkie III had a couple of early errors, but she settled in for 21 shots at the end.

The seventh group begins with Westside Rockers veteran Slinks doing 13-ball with the silver cue. Slinks had a slow finish that pushed her to 28 shots and three errors in the game. The Crowns' Brownie gets her second game today, playing Accuracy with the green cue as the sixth qualifying finisher. Brownie made a sacrifice at the end to finish with 16 shots and an error in the game, giving her an unsightly 204 shots and 22 errors overall. Continuing along, Atlantic Pirates captain Delila shoots Rotation with the purple cue. Delila had trouble with positioning, accounting for three errors in 26 shots. Commerce Tradewinds youngster Rosemary draws in for 15-ball with the blue cue. Rosemary played wide-open throughout the game, which saw her take 22 shots with only one error. The Shores' Twinkie III rounds out this group with the silver cue in 13-ball for her second game today. Twinkie III had to have patience with her positioning, but she kept it cool in 24 shots with one error.
Group eight is led by Harrison Specters star Sydney S. shooting 13-ball with the blue cue. Sydney S. had to unravel the positioning a bit, but she was quick to finish in 21 shots without an error. The 37th game today is Southridge Defenders veteran Wario playing 12-ball with the blue cue. Wario showed excellent shot selection and execution to finish in 16 shots with no errors. Another 12-ball game follows as Archtown Arrows veteran Sleepy B. shoots with the green cue. Sleepy B. took a gamble and failed, but didn't lose much ground as she closed with 17 shots and no errors. Pearl Surfers co-captain Neopolitan is up next, shooting 10-ball with the silver cue. Neopolitan displayed a soft touch and good positioning to end in 16 shots without an error. Wrapping up the set, Missy of the Capital City Sharpshooters does 12-ball with the blue cue. Missy had a hot start cooled only slightly by two errors as she closed in 19 shots overall.
The ninth batch kicks off with Puff II of the Boston Swifts doing 13-ball with the red cue. Puff II went off with 19 shots and just one error, showing expert command early on. Swordpoint Blades rookie Esmeralda draws in for 10-ball with the purple cue. Esmeralda was way too slow this time, taking 23 shots and an error before finishing by double-potting the 9 to the top side and the 10 to the top right. Victoria Spurs veteran Strawberry gets a look at 8-ball with the green cue. Strawberry wielded a hot stick and cleared the table in 17 error-free shots. More 8-ball with the green cue comes as Westside Rockers captain Misty gets a game. Misty didn't have the same magic in her play, but she finished with 21 shots and no errors in a decent game. The 45th player to shoot today is Modernistic Union veteran Puff I, who uses the silver cue in 9-ball. Puff I hounded the 9 well and converted a tough 2-9 combination to the bottom side to end in 5 shots with no errors.
The Union's Daisy gets a second game today, playing 12-ball with the silver cue to front the final group. Daisy stayed ahead of the table well enough to finish in 20 shots with no errors. The Monarchs' Pounce will also get a second look today, using the blue cue in 12-ball. Pounce kept a pretty good form, but a mid-game error and some questionable positioning pushed him to 21 shots. The Shores' Smokey also plays a second game today, the 48th for the league, as he takes up the red cue in 12-ball. Smokey was patient and smart late in the game to end at 21 shots with no errors. Tysini Hummingbirds captain Leandra is ready to take on 9-ball with the purple cue. Leandra's long-awaited return to her qualifying was a smashing success, as the 9 followed the 6 into the bottom left on the break for 0 shots and zero errors. Freedom Cascades veteran Stripes ends the day with the purple cue in 12-ball. Stripes was strong at first, then cautious enough to end at 19 shots and no errors in the end.
That's a whole week straight into the books. Tomorrow, the unofficial halfway mark of qualifying is achieved.
