We're set for another full day of action. Up first...
Southern Monarchs captain Panda plays Rotation with the silver cue. Panda had a bad start to the day, with 34 shots and just one error as positional play completely failed him.

Back in Rotation, the Lighton Prestige's Spirit plays with the silver cue. Spirit didn't fare very well, racking up five errors in 30 shots as scratching was a major issue. Boston Swifts veteran Puff II is the 61st player to finish qualifying, using the blue cue in Accuracy.

North Modernistic Nighthawks newcomer Gizmo will take up the blue cue for 15-ball. A lack of positioning put Gizmo with three errors and 31 shots in the game.

Eastside Sharks rookie Maison is 23rd to play today, using the red cue in 15-ball.

Group seven opens with Pronger Tridents captain Precious shooting 12-ball with the blue cue.

The Stills' Pedey plays the 33rd game today, using the silver cue in 15-ball for his second appearance of the day.

The Pirates' Isabella follows that with the silver cue in hand for 12-ball. Isabella notched the game in 25 shots with five errors, a fantastic break leaving her in awful positioning for virtually every solid.
