We're ready to begin a new day of qualifying, which will see the league cross two-thirds completion. First up...
Harrison Specters veteran Blizzard uses the green cue in 15-ball. The long-style regression is in full effect as Blizzard took 38 shots and three errors to complete this outing. Whitewater Shores newcomer Smokey goes second today, using the red cue for Rotation. Smokey had an outstanding performance, needing only 21 shots with one error to exit. Pacific Volcanoes mainstay Ms. Kitty takes up the silver cue for Rotation. Ms. Kitty had a good start, but four errors and another treacherous mid-game put her at 32 shots. Golden Pilots captain Valencia is the 31st player done with qualifying, using the purple cue for Accuracy. Valencia put on a clinic, with 14 shots and no errors in the game to end at 150 shots and 5 errors throughout her qualifying run. Southern Monarchs veteran Mams draws in for 10-ball with the red cue. Soft touches and great positioning put Mams at just 12 error-free shots.
More 10-ball awaits for Stonebridge Wolves newcomer Kirstin, who also uses the red cue. Kirstin wasn't very good, taking three errors in 21 shots in a tough outing. Victoria Spurs veteran Strawberry activates the blue cue for 15-ball. Strawberry went to the cellar for this one, taking eight unintentional errors in 45 shots. Stonebridge Wolves rookie Jane goes eighth today with the purple cue in hand for 12-ball. Another dud effort saw Jane take 30 shots and five errors in an outright sloppy performance. Midland Predators veteran Americus will try to right the ship in 15-ball with the silver cue. Americus illegally potted the 15 as part of her five errors, but a quick start helped her finish in 23 shots. North Modernistic Nighthawks captain Peach exits qualifying 32nd by speed as she shoots Accuracy with the silver cue. Peach was unrelenting in attack, ending with 16 shots and no errors. Overall, she had 178 shots and 12 errors during qualifying.
The third group opens with Southern Monarchs captain Panda shooting 13-ball with the green cue. Panda played with patience, needing 24 shots with no errors to clear the table. Viewpoint Sound Meteors star Frosty also wants a piece of 13-ball with the green cue. Frosty arguably had better starting positioning, but she squandered it with four errors to end in 32 shots. Boston Swifts veteran Puff II takes the league into the lunch break with the purple cue in hand for 15-ball. Puff II was in total control despite two errors, ending in only 23 shots. Golden Pilots veteran Sparkles will keep the purple cue up after the break for 13-ball. Sparkles had a frustrating finish to her outing, requiring 30 shots with three errors after she messed up her positioning at the top side. Atlantic Pirates stalwart Steven shoots 12-ball with the silver cue in today's 15th game. Steven had a good start but slowed dramatically at the end, taking 24 shots with three errors.
Freedom Cascades captain Stinky leads group four with the blue cue in hand for 15-ball. Stinky had a great start, but completely unraveled with five errors and 35 shots by the end of the game. The out-of-favor blue cue will also play Pacific Volcanoes veteran Leonette's Accuracy game as she becomes the 33rd play to finish qualifying. Leonette was acceptable with 18 shots and no errors in the game, for totals of 162 shots and 13 errors overall. Next up, Terrace City Knights captain Kiwi is the 34th player done with qualifying, using the purple cue in Accuracy. Kiwi was a little worse at the end, needing 19 shots to finish the game. Overall, she had 172 shots and 11 errors. The 19th game of the day belongs to Westside Rockers enforcer Midnight, who shoots 12-ball with the purple cue. Midnight took it slow at the end, pushing her score up to 24 shots with one error after an aggressive middle. Whitewater Shores veteran Marsell ends the group with Accuracy and the blue cue, the 35th player to exit qualifying. Marsell needed 19 shots, fading late after a hot start but taking no errors. He finished qualifying at 137 shots and just 2 errors, the current clubhouse leader by a wide margin.
The Rockers' Midnight returns for a second game, using the red cue in 13-ball. Midnight showed remarkable command in 17 shots, taking just one error for a scratch on the break. Infinity Torpedoes veteran Shelley goes 22nd today, using the green cue in Rotation. Shelley couldn't avoid another landmine, setting the new league worst for the year at 49 shots and nine errors. The Monarchs' Mams will follow that with the red cue in 12-ball. Mams had no issues, taking two necessary errors in 18 shots for a good outing. Another Monarch, the veteran Dominic, goes in 15-ball with the green cue. Dominic could only shake his head after six errors sank his effort to 33 shots in another disastrous game. Eastside Sharks captain Nightfur closes this batch with the blue cue in hand for 12-ball. Nightfur had very little trouble outside of an early scratch for her lone error in 18 shots.
Web City Spiders veteran Waluigi is on for 13-ball with the purple cue to start the sixth set. Waluigi had a spectacular game, needing only 17 shots with one late error for missed contact. Wolves rookie Jane will step back in with the blue cue in 13-ball for her second game today. The league's continual alternation between good and bad saw Jane take 30 shots and three errors to finish this game. Atlantic Pirates hotshot Isabella is set to play 8-ball with the silver cue for a change of pace today. Isabella blew it late with an illegal potting of the 8, tacking her to six errors and 26 shots in what could have been a decent game. Everton Eagles newcomer Vincent will take his chances with the green cue in 12-ball. Vincent would get no mercy from an unforgiving table, needing 31 shots and three errors. The green cue stays active as North Modernistic Nighthawks veteran Cheddar shoots Rotation. Cheddar avoided the worst of it with 26 shots and two errors in this appearance.
The seventh group begins as Swordpoint Blades captain Snowball shoots 10-ball with the green cue. Snowball made two balls on the break and left the 10 near the bottom left, where a deflection off the 1 counted her at 3 shots and no errors. The Volcanoes' Ms. Kitty draws in for 15-ball with the purple cue in her second appearance of the day. Ms. Kitty attacked fiercely and took just one error in 24 shots for a decent effort. With the 33rd game today, Vladimir of the Maplewood Lumberjacks becomes the 36th player to end his qualifying run as he shoots Accuracy with the silver cue. Vladimir tried to stave off trouble, but loose shooting early left him with 23 shots and no errors in the end. In total, he had 161 shots and 12 errors during qualifying. Next up, Atlantic Pirates newcomer Dusky does 10-ball with the purple cue. Dusky started well and fell apart late, taking one error in 17 shots. Wolves rookie Jane goes a third time today, using the red cue for Rotation to wrap up this batch. Jane finally got a good game under her belt, taking three errors but only 20 shots to clear the table this time.
The eighth batch gets going with Southern Monarchs veteran Pounce playing 15-ball with the green cue. Pounce showed exactly zero regard for the rules, racking up 10 errors, eight of which were intentional, in 26 shots. Eastside Sharks rookie Toki is the 37th player drawn today, and he'll use the blue cue in 13-ball. Toki was able to keep under control despite rough positioning, ending the game in 25 shots with just one error. More 13-ball awaits for the Modernistic Union's Puff I, who uses the red cue. Puff I got a little lucky to take only one error in 23 shots in a solid performance. Up next, Westside Rockers veteran Chimpy draws in for 10-ball with the green cue. Chimpy thought he was on easy street to the finish, but he scratched the first time he made the 10. Four errors and 20 shots later, he was actually done. Another 10-ball game sees Commerce Tradewinds star Taylor S. use the red cue. A scratch on the break set the tone for a lackluster 17 shots with three errors for Taylor S.
Group nine kicks off as Wild Thing of the Stonebridge Wolves plays Accuracy with the green cue as the 37th player to complete qualifiers. Wild Thing needed only 18 shots without an error to clear the table, with his totals at 174 shots with 11 errors throughout qualifying. Cascades captain Stinky will follow as the 38th qualifying finisher, using the silver cue in Accuracy. Stinky had a blistering start, but faltered and ended with 18 shots and no errors. Overall, he had 198 shots and 18 errors, near the low end of the standings. Swordpoint Blades rookie Esmeralda tries 15-ball with the blue cue next. Esmeralda started out honest but switched to six errors in the middle to clear some room before ending in 29 shots. The 44th game of the day features Capital City Sharpshooters mainstay Missy playing 13-ball with the green cue. Missy saw another decent game ruined by bad positioning, which inflated her score to 29 shots with one error. Tradewinds star Taylor S. keeps the green cue active for 12-ball. Taylor S. was pretty efficient with only one error among 19 shots.
The final group sees Queens Flames superstar Violetta try Rotation with the red cue. Violetta was willing to abandon honest play to keep the score low, ending at 24 shots and five errors. Web City Spiders rookie Omari is set to shoot 12-ball with the red cue. Omari was pretty good at finding early plays, and ended in 20 shots with just one error. Commerce Tradewinds captain Tigerette is the 48th player called today, using the blue cue in 10-ball. Tigerette botched it in her game, taking 20 shots and five errors as frustration surfaced once more. Another captain, the Queens Flames' Crystal, takes up the green cue for Rotation. Crystal took four errors, all with intent, but it was a wasted game plan, as a slow finish put her at 30 shots anyway. Today's finale is the qualifying finale for the Archtown Arrows' Hoppy, who plays Accuracy with the blue cue as the 39th finisher. Hoppy played relatively well, taking 20 shots with no errors in the game for totals of 172 shots and 9 errors overall.
That's all for today's action. The league hopes for better luck tomorrow, the first full day within the Rotation majority period.
