Pool Tournament

At the first monthly pool tournament of 2022, held Jan. 19 in Clubhouse 2, 10 two-person teams played six rounds of eight-ball. After the first four rounds, the duo of Rusty Aquino and Connie Adkins were the only team with four wins and no losses. The pair lost in the fifth round but won in the sixth, securing first place. Tying for second place with four wins were the team of Bill Clawson and Guta Basner and the duo of Paul Snellerberger and Steve Mitchell. To break the tie, two players shoot a ball to the end rail and back at the same time. Clawson came closest to the end rail, winning his team the secondplace spot.

The next tournament will be especially for B- and C-level players. On Saturday, Jan. 29, at 1:30 p.m. in Clubhouse 2, there will be a double elimination eight-ball tournament with an entry fee of only $5. More information is available on the poster in the Clubhouse 2 pool room. Anyone who wants to play should call or text Eunis “WildFire!” Christensen at (562) 879-1954. Starting in February, the tournaments will be held the fourth Saturday of the month. The club hopes this new time will allow more people the opportunity to play.
