The third week of qualifiers begins here, with Rotation more likely to activate today. We start with...
Zenith Skywatchers veteran Paps playing 13-ball with the red cue. Paps had a decent start, but late positioning forced him up to 26 shots with no errors. Golden Pilots veteran Strut will bring Rotation to the table, using the blue cue. Strut was sharp early on, then faded later with three errors in 29 shots. Diamond Gems veteran Salmo goes 3rd today with the red cue in 12-ball. Salmo couldn't deal with the positioning he received, needing 26 shots with three errors to get through the rack. Viewpoint Sound Meteors veteran Dani uses the red cue for her 9-ball appearance. Dani didn't convert as well as she should have, but a deflection off the 5 buried the 9 to the bottom left to give her 12 shots and one error. Swordpoint Blades veteran Bandit uses the repaired green cue in 10-ball to end the group. Bandit didn't play well early on, but he got the 10 near the top side and used a deflection off the 5 to sink it on 14 shots and no errors.
Group two opens as Infinity Torpedoes star Fuchsia uses the green cue for 10-ball. Fuchsia held her own after a rough middle, closing at 13 shots and one error with a 6-10 combination to the bottom left. Queens Flames captain Crystal follows up with the silver cue in 13-ball. Crystal was alright, but she finished slowly to put herself at 23 shots and two errors. Apex Wonders veteran Mr. Snowman goes 8th today, using the green cue for 12-ball. Mr. Snowman couldn't get positioning on his last ball, taking three errors and slipping to 25 shots for the game. Oceanside Waves sophomore Megan brings the purple cue on board for 12-ball.

After that, Archtown Arrows sophomore Greg pulls out the purple cue for 10-ball. Greg had a disastrous start to the appearance, taking two errors in an early skid before righting himself to 22 shots. Whitewater Shores captain Shaggy is next up, using the red cue for 12-ball. Shaggy had a very slow start but found good positioning, only for a troublesome last ball to push her up to 24 shots with one error. At the back of the group, Tysini Hummingbirds captain Leandra shoots 12-ball with the blue cue. Leandra didn't get the best positioning, but she made it work with 21 shots and no errors in the end.
The final group commences with Zenith Skywatchers enforcer Nightfur playing 12-ball with the silver cue. Nightfur had a fantastic start, but positioning buried her later, giving her one error in 19 shots. Atlantic Pirates veteran Dusky also plays 12-ball, but she'll use the green cue. Dusky had some shakier play early on to collect two errors, but she also escaped with 19 shots. Maplewood Lumberjacks captain Diddley is in for 9-ball with the red cue. Diddley surged early and then lost control, taking one error before fading to 15 shots. Southridge Defenders newcomer Stripes is in action with the green cue in 12-ball. Stripes commanded the ball well and got herself to close at 17 shots with no errors. Her sister, Westside Rockers newcomer Snowball, ends the day with the green cue in 13-ball. Snowball spared nothing on her shots, taking no errors in 21 shots for a good finale to the day.
Consider today a success with no blow-ups after yesterday and no apparent long-term damage on the green cue. We'll continue the middle week tomorrow.
