Her overall tally was 149 shots with 11 errors. The Lighton Prestige's Spirit is ready to go in 13-ball with the silver cue.

Modernistic Union veteran Puff I will shoot 12-ball with the silver cue. Puff I had some rotten positioning after her lone error came as a scratch on the break. She required 30 shots to close the game. Infinity Torpedoes captain Smudge will hope for better luck with the silver cue in 13-ball. Better luck didn't come, as Smudge racked up four errors and 30 shots despite a near-perfect opening to the game.

Chris didn't mess around, needing only 16 shots with no errors in the game. His overall numbers stood at 163 shots and 9 errors.

More Rotation follows as Boston Swifts veteran Puff II uses the red cue in the event. Puff II was in control, taking just one late error on a scratch before closing in 22 shots. Royal Crowns rookie Sunshine gets the 49th game today, using the silver cue in 15-ball. Sunshine had to get reckless early on, taking seven errors before he cruised to finish at 27 shots. Pronger Tridents veteran Potter ends the day with the purple cue in 13-ball. Potter's only mistake was sinking the 8 illegally, which gave him five errors and inflated his score to 27 shots.
We'll play another day's worth of games tomorrow, which will see the transition to the Rotation majority period.
