Pool Tournament

There were 24 players at the pool tournament held on Nov. 18. This month’s game was eight ball, and to make the play more competitive, players were divided into three skill levels. C-level players had an A-level player as their partner, while B-level players were paired with another immediate player.

Every two-person team played six games, each with a different opponent. After four rounds, Rusty Aquino and Guta Bassner were the only undefeated team. But in the fifth round, Aquino and Bassner lost their first game, while Connie Adkins and Dave Silva won four games in a row after losing their first game.

In the final round, the two teams were pitted against each other. With two solid balls on the table, Aquino made a ball and left Bassner a long shot in the corner on the final solid. She made it and played good position for Aquino to make the eight in the side pocket to clinch first place.

Three teams tied for second place with four wins apiece: Adkins and Silva; Ray Fredrickson and George Gordon; and Sal LaScala and Steve Mitchell.

The next tournament will be held on Dec. 15 at 6:15 p.m. in Clubhouse 2. It will be six rounds of 369, with alternating shots for players. Players must sign up in advance with club Secretary and Treasurer Eunis “WildFire!” Christensen at cashfit8@icloud. com or (562) 879-1954.
