Today's the unofficial halfway point in qualifying. We'll have a standard day, beginning with...
Archtown Arrows rookie Greg shooting 10-ball with the purple cue. Greg didn't step up very well, taking two errors and too long to corral the 3 as he needed 23 shots in the game. Pacific Volcanoes veteran Leonette keeps the purple cue active in 15-ball. Leonette scattered three errors but finished well at 24 shots. The Arrows' Greg is right back in action with the silver cue in 12-ball for his second game today. General 12-ball excellence appears to be set to continue today, as Greg cleared the rack in 15 shots with no errors. Queens Flames veteran Mario draws in for Rotation with the silver cue. Mario was pretty crisp despite two errors, as he closed the effort in 24 shots. Stonebridge Wolves strongman Hershey will use the blue cue for 10-ball to end the batch. Hershey had way too much trouble with keeping a clean outing, ending in 19 shots and three errors.
Archtown Arrows trade acquisition Klaus goes in 10-ball with the blue cue as well. Klaus ended early with a deflection off the 6 to push the 10 to the bottom left for 9 shots and one error. Everton Eagles captain Goldy goes seventh today, using the silver cue in 13-ball. Goldy played confidently and ended in 20 shots with just one error for illegal contact. More 13-ball awaits for Golden Pilots star Dusty, who uses the purple cue. Dusty struggled with positioning this time, requiring 26 shots and two errors to finish the outing. Dusty will go again with the green cue in hand for Rotation. Dusty had another substandard performance, taking two errors in 33 shots as she faded from fatigue late. Freedom Cascades veteran Roxy takes on 9-ball with the blue cue. Roxy assembled 14 shots without an error for a solid game.
Group three kicks off with Terrace City Knights veteran Melissa playing 8-ball with the green cue. Melissa started slow, but steadied herself to end in 22 shots and two errors. Diamond Gems rookie Autumn goes next in 13-ball with the red cue. Autumn did well early, then slipped a bit with one error before closing at 22 shots. The player she replaced, Katelynn, now a Royal Crown, shoots 10-ball with the red cue. Katelynn pounded shots effectively, ending with 12 shots and one error for a late scratch. Everton Eagles veteran Cleo picks up the purple cue for 12-ball in today's 14th game. Cleo had a solid effort, aided by a very fortunate bounce late to help her end in 18 shots with no errors. Heading into the break, Maplewood Lumberjacks rookie Marissa shoots 13-ball with the red cue. Marissa took a couple of errors as she tried to organize her game, which ended in 25 shots.
After the break, we return with Diamond Gems newcomer Debby playing 9-ball with the silver cue. Debby picked up 10 shots, a lucky play on the 6 leading to the 9 dropping at the top side. She had no errors. Capital City Sharpshooters newcomer Paps is up for 12-ball with the green cue. Paps was fairly solid, but a late gamble didn't work, and he ended in 21 shots with one error. Todavía Stills newcomer Pedey follows with the purple cue up for 10-ball. Pedey remained relatively stable with his play, needing 15 shots with no errors to complete the effort. Swordpoint Blades veteran Stealth takes a turn with the red cue in Rotation. Stealth had an incredibly slow start to his game, but kicked it up to end in 25 shots with only one error. The 20th game today is Eastside Sharks captain Nightfur's team debut, using the silver cue in 7-ball for its last turn in the event. Nightfur sent the 1 and 7 to the side pockets on the break for 0 shots and zero errors.
The fifth group is led by Viewpoint Sound Meteors captain Hoot shooting 12-ball with the green cue. Hoot had some late trouble with positioning, but his score was 22 shots with no errors. The seventh player to finish qualifying is Harrison Specters captain Twinkie II, who shoots Accuracy with the silver cue. An early scratch led to a strong ending with 19 shots, and her totals stood at 147 shots and five errors overall. Victoria Spurs veteran Strawberry plays the 23rd game today, using the red cue in 9-ball. Strawberry posted 13 shots without an error for a solid outing. Central Warriors captain Twilight follows with the purple cue for 13-ball. Twilight had a couple of errors on bad plays, but ended in 21 shots anyway after a late gamble paid off. The Stills' Pedey is back for a second game today, playing 12-ball with the purple cue. Pedey didn't have the easiest time with positioning, taking two errors and 22 shots to finish.
Midland Predators captain Shawn gets the 26th game of the day, playing 15-ball with the silver cue. Shawn had a slow start, and then distributed four errors during the game that pushed him up to 33 shots. The Gems newcomer Debby shoots 10-ball with the blue cue. Debby didn't capitalize on a good break, taking one error and 19 shots to clear the table. Sharks captain Nightfur gets a second game today, playing the green cue's last 8-ball qualifier. Nightfur was nearly great in her game, but a double-error pushed her to 18 shots. Commerce Tradewinds hotshot Solaris plays 10-ball with the silver cue. Solaris finished in 15 shots, but he picked up two errors along the way. Rounding out the set, Victoria Spurs veteran Sage does Rotation with the purple cue. Sage made three balls on the break, including the middle 15 to the bottom left. She later took two errors but still closed in 17 shots in a remarkable turn.
The seventh batch begins with Web City Spiders newcomer Nibbles playing 10-ball with the green cue.

Terrace City Knights star Jennifer will exit qualifying eighth by speed when she plays Accuracy with the blue cue. Jennifer buried the rack in 21 shots without an error, finishing with totals of 176 shots and 16 errors. Wrapping up the group, Midland Predators sophomore Kitty plays 10-ball with the silver cue.

Group eight opens as Ms. Kitty of the Pacific Volcanoes plays 10-ball with the red cue. Ms. Kitty had some questionable moments, but ended in 16 shots without an error as she deflected off the 7 to take the 10 to the bottom left. Whitewater Shores mainstay Twinkie III gets the 37th game today, using the blue cue for Rotation. Twinkie III didn't mess around, taking two balls on the break and clearing the table in 19 error-free shots. Next up, Swordpoint Blades rookie Esmeralda plays 12-ball with the silver cue. Esmeralda had a strong start, but four errors weighed her down at 25 shots in the end. North Modernistic Nighthawks newcomer Gizmo steps in for 13-ball with the blue cue. Gizmo set the event standard by clearing the table in 13 shots with no errors, a nearly perfect performance. Modernistic Union captain Ms. Puppy ends the group with the green cue in hand for 15-ball. Ms. Puppy was simply reliable in her game, taking 22 shots and two errors to finish.
The ninth group starts with Hoppy of the Archtown Arrows playing 12-ball with the red cue. Hoppy kept her shots tight and finished with 16 shots and no errors. Pacific Volcanoes captain Starlight is next, playing 13-ball with the green cue. Starlight started pretty well, but her ending was poor. She took two errors in her 25 shots. Eastside Sharks sophomore Taylor M. is the 43rd player to shoot today, using the blue cue in its last 8-ball qualifier of the year. Taylor M. kept it clean through 20 shots to finish her second game of the year. Southern Monarchs veteran Pounce brings on the silver cue for 13-ball. Pounce showed plenty of courage in his shots, ending with 17 shots and no errors as he finished strong. The Sharks' Taylor M. gets right back in action with the blue cue in 9-ball to close the group. Taylor M. looked even better here despite an early error, as she crushed down two balls on the break and finished in 10 shots.
Royal Crowns veteran Jake fronts the final group and plays 9-ball with the blue cue. Jake wasn't as clinical in this game, taking 15 shots with one error. Eastside Sharks rookie Toki is ready to go in 12-ball with the red cue. Toki surged early but had awful positioning on the last ball, requiring 22 shots and two errors to end the outing. The 48th game of the day is the Blades' Stealth's second, as he shoots 15-ball with the blue cue. Stealth had some strong moments and some poor ones, mixing three errors into 27 shots for the game. Atlantic Pirates rookie Buddy is next, playing 12-ball with the silver cue. Buddy survived the danger fairly well with 21 shots despite taking two errors. Lighton Prestige veteran Citrus ends the day with the green cue in 13-ball. Citrus was wild and inefficient to end with 24 shots and four errors.
With that, we're 10 games away from the midpoint of qualifying, which will be reached some time tomorrow.
