Coming out on top was Chris Lee of Newmarket with 12 total wins, Paul Robinson with 11 wins and Bobby Drowns with 10 wins. We had a 3 way tie between Gord Bud, Doug Smyth and Wayne Dargis. In the end tenacity and determination won out with Gord arising from the 3 way 1 game sudden death playoff.
The final 4 are seeded according to their finish. Chris Lee defeated Gord Budd 3-1, and Bobby Drowns narrowly defeated Paul Robinson 3-2. In the end Bobby Drowns defeated Chris Lee 3-0.
The second event was held July 23. The group was small but eager and had a great time. 8 men and 4 women were split into 2 groups of 6 and played a complete round robin. Play started at 12:30pm and at 6pm we had our final 4. However before we could start, Bobby Drowns and Penny Devoe had to play a 1 game sudden death playoff to determine who would be seeded number 1 in the playoffs with Bobby coming out the winner. Tammy Drury (CPA 4) also had to play a sudden death decider against Jason Gallant to see who went through to the finals, and Jason was the winner.
In the end, Bobby Drowns defeated Jason Gallant 3-1 to move to the finals and Paul Robinson defeated Penny Devoe 3-1. In the finals, Bobby defeated Paul 3-1. Congratulations to the winners and a big thank you goes out to Lucasi Hybrid Cues and Big Wig’s. See you all at the next one, August 13th
