Tournament XI Qualifiers - Day 11

We're ready to go with another day of action, beginning with...

Boston Swifts star Gradley playing 10-ball with the purple cue. Gradley had a decent start with the 10 going on the break to be respotted. He took some chances early, but it backfired to a score of 19 shots and two errors. Southern Monarchs sophomore Molly jumps in to 10-ball with the blue cue. Molly's break wasn't as good, but she closed with 15 shots and one error on better shooting. Modernistic Union sophomore Maggie draws in for 8-ball with the red cue. Maggie had to play through jamming her base hand on the table, but she did well to finish in 18 shots and no errors and will appreciate a day off to recover. Westside Rockers newcomer Snowball goes next, playing 10-ball with the purple cue. Snowball had a lackluster break that left things congested near the spot. She navigated well despite taking three errors, with a 7-10 combination to the bottom left putting her at 13 shots. Modernistic Union veteran Puff I keeps the purple cue up for 9-ball. Puff I had plenty of confidence in her game, needing only 12 shots with no errors to finish it. 

The second group leads off with Capital City Sharpshooters captain Chris playing 10-ball with the blue cue. Chris had a great start with a pair on the break, but he took two errors and slowly finished on 16 shots. Diamond Gems veteran Salmo draws in for 10-ball with the red cue next. Salmo had a good start but was unimpressive on the 4, slowing him down to 19 shots with no errors. TodavĂ­a Stills star Ruby goes 8th today, playing 12-ball with the blue cue. Two errors were the only things holding Ruby back in this game, as she still finished with 16 shots. Pronger Tridents veteran Prism is next with the green cue in 9-ball. Prism started fine but quickly fell apart to 19 shots and no errors as positioning evaded her. Archtown Arrows captain Sally closes the batch with the green cue in 10-ball. It could be a long day with the green cue, as Sally took two errors and 24 shots as she couldn't get any positioning to go in her favor until the end. 

Southern Monarchs rookie Gabby brings us out of the lunch break with the green cue in hand for 9-ball. The green cue's curse continued as Gabby collected four errors in her 19 shots. Midland Predators rising star Kitty goes 12th today, using the blue cue for 9-ball. Kitty struggled too much early on, with her strong finish as damage control at 17 shots and no errors. Archtown Arrows veteran Hoppy goes next with the silver cue in 10-ball. Hoppy made it quick with a pair on the break and a scratch. She followed up with a 2-10 combination soon after to end with 3 shots and one error. Midland Predators veteran Americus plays 9-ball with the blue cue next. Americus had an error for illegal contact and slower play didn't help late as she finished on 15 shots. Zenith Skywatchers enforcer Nightfur picks up the green cue for 9-ball to end the set. Nightfur made some improvements with a ball on the break, but rattled shots persisted and she ended on 14 shots with one error. 

Group four begins with Southern Monarchs veteran Dominic shooting 8-ball with the purple cue. Dominic started a little slow but made up for it with a good surge at the end to close on 20 shots and no errors. Central Warriors star Graham goes next with the red cue in 10-ball. Graham looked good from the start with a ball on the break, and needed only 13 shots without an error. Victoria Spurs veteran Strawberry has the silver cue in hand for 9-ball. Strawberry was resilient through a tough start, taking only one error en route to a score of 13 shots. Royal Crowns veteran Jake goes 19th today with the red cue in 9-ball. Jake took a frustrating pair of errors and ended up with 18 shots as everything worked against him. More 9-ball sees Apex Wonders veteran Mr. Snowman step in with the blue cue. Mr. Snowman made things tougher than they needed to be, taking one error and nearly another despite finishing with a crisp 9 shots. 

The fifth batch sees Web City Spiders newcomer Wild Thing at the front with the purple cue in hand for 10-ball. Wild Thing pushed the 10 to the bottom left early but had to take some time to finish the effort with an 8-10 bank combination for 15 shots and no errors. Back in 9-ball, Oceanside Waves captain Celestia uses the green cue. Celestia had a tough distribution early on, but an intentional rattle of the 4 pushed the 9 to the top left to give her 9 shots and one error for the game. Victoria Spurs veteran Rosalina is next for 10-ball with the red cue. Rosalina was decent despite bad positioning, taking no errors in her 18 shots. Zenith Skywatchers veteran Paps steps in for 10-ball with the silver cue. Paps scratched on the break and didn't get much positioning help later, but still finished in 15 shots. The 25th game of the day is 9-ball with the blue cue for Web City Spiders veteran Waluigi. A few too many fancy plays ran up his score, as Waluigi finished the game with 15 shots and no errors. 

The sixth set opens with Infinity Torpedoes captain Smudge using the red cue for 10-ball. Smudge had a good start and kept a steady hand to finish on 15 shots with no errors. Stonebridge Wolves rookie Lindsay has the silver cue in hand to play 8-ball. Lindsay had three errors during this outing, playing too sloppy early on and paying for it at 25 shots. Swordpoint Blades newcomer Mams keeps the silver cue active in today's 28th game, playing 9-ball. Mams made a pair on the break and cruised to 9 shots and no errors in a good game. After that, Golden Pilots veteran Strut shoots 12-ball with the silver cue. Strut was pretty good, taking a couple of errors but finishing at 22 shots. Atlantic Pirates captain Delila finishes the group with the green cue in 10-ball. Delila held her own despite two errors, avoiding a collapse to close at 16 shots. 

Group seven gets going with Midland Predators veteran Rainmane using the green cue in 9-ball. Rainmane found herself in a lot of no-win situations and took two errors among 18 shots for a poor result. Lighton Prestige star Spirit is up for 12-ball with the blue cue next. Spirit had a couple of errors due to positioning issues, but a slow finish drove her up to 21 shots. Southern Monarchs captain Pounce is today's 33rd player, and he uses the green cue in 9-ball. Pounce went with a forceful approach, taking two errors in 11 shots in a quick appearance. Westside Rockers veteran Goatee is up for 8-ball with the silver cue. Goatee kept things clean and cleared the table in only 19 shots. Rounding out the group, Commerce Tradewinds newcomer Bear shoots 9-ball with the blue cue. Bear had a mediocre break that led to him taking two errors before closing with 15 shots. 

The eighth group starts as Victoria Spurs star Yekaterina plays 12-ball with the red cue. Yekaterina wasn't quite merciless, but she was efficient after a scratch on the break and ended with 20 shots. Harrison Specters newcomer Snuggle goes 37th today with the purple cue in 9-ball. Snuggle was pretty good outside of an early scratch, ending the game with 13 shots. Terrace City Knights veteran Oreo is ready to go in 10-ball with the red cue. Oreo was strong early on and got a 6-10 bank combination to fall at the top side to end her turn in 8 shots with no errors. More 10-ball is on the way with Maplewood Lumberjacks sophomore Marissa playing 10-ball with the silver cue. Marissa had one error for missed contract early, but smoothly finished with 15 shots. Eastside Sharks newcomer Rudolph wraps up the group with the blue cue in 10-ball. Rudolph had to adjust his expectations in the middle of the game after taking two errors, and he quickly corralled the 4-10 combination to the bottom left to end at 13 shots. 

Another Shark kicks off group nine, as the sophomore Toki plays 9-ball with the silver cue. Toki was a little sloppy early on, but he was able to deflect off the 3 to sink the 9 at the bottom right for 8 shots and no errors. North Modernistic Nighthawks star Gal also plays 9-ball with the blue cue. An early scratch and a late missed contact gave Gal two errors that pushed her brutally up to 15 shots. Next up, Boston Swifts veteran Ice Cream uses the silver cue for 10-ball. Ice Cream lost her way with too many set-up plays, requiring 19 shots with one error to finish. The 44th game of the day belongs to Golden Pilots veteran Sparkles, who uses the blue cue in 10-ball. Sparkles had a couple of errors that slowed her down to 17 shots for the game. At the back of the group, Zenith Skywatchers captain Blizzard uses the silver cue in 9-ball. Blizzard had the best game of the day, never missing a shot despite some difficult positions to play from. She finished with a 5-9 combination to the top left for 5 shots with no errors. 

The final group gets underway as Pacific Volcanoes veteran Twinkie I shoots 10-ball with the blue cue. Twinkie I completely lost control at the end, taking 23 shots and two errors in the appearance. Maplewood Lumberjacks veteran Vladimir is on 9-ball with the green cue. Vladimir finished at 5 shots and no errors with a double-pot of the 4 to the bottom side and the 9 to the bottom right. Following that, Stonebridge Wolves newcomer Dewey shoots 9-ball with the blue cue. Dewey didn't get many favorable looks, needing 19 shots with one error to escape. Pacific Volcanoes captain Starlight draws in with the silver cue for 10-ball. Caution got Starlight nowhere, as she avoided errors and still ended up with 18 shots. Tysini Hummingbirds captain Leandra ends the day with the red cue in 9-ball. Leandra scratched on the break but never slowed down, taking just 9 shots with her one error. 

That's all for today, but we'll be back at it again tomorrow.
