We're onto the final stretch of qualifying, as Accuracy is now the primary game to be played. First up...
Eastside Sharks sophomore Taylor M. plays 13-ball with the purple cue. Taylor M. had three balls on the break and closed in 20 shots with no errors. Web City Spiders rookie Omari goes second today, using the silver cue for Rotation.

Queens Flames superstar Violetta is the 112th player done with qualifying when she shoots Accuracy with the blue cue. Violetta was near perfect until the last ball, which saw her take one error and fade to 19 shots. That late fade put her at 138 shots and 9 errors, tied for second in the league. Another Flame, the newcomer Pauline, shoots Rotation with the purple cue. Pauline played well early on, with a little luck, and took only one error in 24 shots. Atlantic Pirates hotshot Isabella is 113rd to complete qualifiers, using the red cue in Accuracy.

Southridge Defenders newcomer Luigi keeps the red cue active in Accuracy as the 114th player done with qualifying. Luigi couldn't get any control, needing 21 shots to finish the effort for totals of 163 shots and 10 errors. Oceanside Waves enforcer Josie plays Rotation with the red cue in today's seventh game. Josie had a bad break and a lot of congestion on the table, needing two errors in 33 shots. Viewpoint Sound Meteors veteran Dani is onto 15-ball with the blue cue. Dani played fast and smart here, striking early and then double-potting the 4 and 15 to the left corners to end with 6 shots and no errors. Maplewood Lumberjacks star Whiskers also plays 15-ball, but with the red cue. Whiskers also found an early finish, deflecting off the 5 to put the 15 in the bottom side for 14 shots with one error.

His overall numbers were 168 shots and 15 errors.
Group three kicks off with Midland Predators sophomore Kitty using the silver cue in 15-ball. Kitty took way too long to get hot this time, needing 34 shots and three errors to close the game. Diamond Gems captain Shadow tries 15-ball with the purple cue here. Shadow had an absolute disaster of a game, taking 37 shots with seven errors. Another Gem, the newcomer Salmo, plays Accuracy with the green cue as the 116th player to finish qualifying. Salmo had a decent start, but quickly faded to 21 shots and one error. His totals stood at 202 shots and 18 errors, an awful run. Freedom Cascades strongman Nikolai is the 117th player to end his qualifying run, playing Accuracy with the purple cue.

His overall numbers were 183 shots and 16 errors. Continuing along, Maplewood Lumberjacks captain Diddley shoots Rotation with the red cue. Seeing how the day has gone, Diddley disregarded the rules and took six errors to close with 24 shots. Westside Rockers captain Misty is set to play 13-ball with the blue cue here. Misty held up well with just one error in 24 shots, and only a slow finish to weigh her down slightly. Going 20th today, Whitewater Shores veteran Katharine plays 15-ball with the green cue. Katharine put the 15 very near the top right early on, and converted at 10 shots with a 2-15 combination, despite taking two errors earlier in the game.

Sierra stormed through the rack in 15 shots, ending her qualifying run at 187 shots and 13 errors. Next up, Eastside Sharks captain Nightfur shoots Rotation with the purple cue.

She posted 168 shots and 9 errors in total. Ending the batch, Modernistic Union veteran Daisy shoots Accuracy with the red cue, the 124th player to finish qualifying.

Andrew didn't have the most elegant of finishes, taking 26 shots and one early error for an overfill. Sharks captain Nightfur keeps the purple cue up for her second game of the day, which will be 15-ball. Nightfur was scuffling until she deflected a 1-15 combination off a couple of balls and directly to the bottom right to end in 4 shots with no errors. Infinity Torpedoes rookie Blaze wraps up the batch with the blue cue in 13-ball. Blaze took no errors, but a slow finish pushed him to 24 shots.
Group eight begins with the Spiders' Omari shooting 15-ball with the blue cue. Omari racked up five errors in 27 shots, wasting no time early on to avoid skidding too much. Today's 37th game is Rotation with the red cue for the Torpedoes' Blaze. It wasn't a great showing for the rookie, as Blaze needed 30 shots with only one error to finish. The Shores' Katharine gets her second game today in Accuracy with the purple cue, as she becomes the 126th player done with qualifying. Katharine was too shaky, taking one error in 22 shots. She had totals of 148 shots and 13 errors, with a poor finale once again costing a player valuable shots late today. Modernistic Union third-year Kodiak is up for 15-ball with the silver cue.
