Marc Dumoulin: Shooters’ Amateur Elite!
Feb 26, 2016
This past weekend Shooters Snooker Club in Toronto held two unique one-day events for players of varying skill levels. The first event on February 20 was the Amateur Elites SL 9 and under 9-Ball straight race event. The next day, on February 21, Shooters hosted the 3-5 Extended Race 9-Ball tournament. This one-day event invited players SL3 to SL5 to race to their handicap +1 in order to compete for a prize pool slightly larger than $1,500 not including the Calcutta.
The first event, Shooters Amateur Elites Tournament, had a field of 36 players SL 9 and under racing straight to 8 games. This field of 36 included many of the top amateur pool players in Ontario, who shot well throughout the day.
After several rounds of long races, there were 12 players remaining:
A-Side:
Adam Monture vs Al Logan
Rob Hall vs Marc Dumoulin
B-Side:
Jake Cajilig vs Ronald Giron
Waleed Mukhtar vs Casar Cusdodio
Harry Chaggaris vs Jeremy Bolahood
Jehlar Fernandez vs Ed Reyes
Both of the remaining A-Side matches came down to the 15th game as Adam M and Marc D defeated Al L and Rob H respectively. After being bumped to the B-Side, Rob H and Al L won their respective B-Side matches and would soon face off against each other. Rob H would come up on top against Al L 8-6 and awaited the loser of the hot-seat match.
In the hot-seat match, Marc D defeated Adam M 8-5 after some great shooting, setting up the B-Side finals between Adam M and Rob H. In another very close match, Rob H came out on top 8-6 against Adam M and earned himself a second chance to beat Marc D.

After a long day of pool, there could only be one person remaining. Congratulations to Marc Dumoulin on his spectacular 1st place finish in the 9-Ball Amateur Elites Tournament.
