POOL News: It took some searching,but I found the pool
haiku's my team mates and I wrote a year or so
ago! Finally... Check out my M8
pool teams' match results! Search
for your favortie elleni.com player or team. 4 Girls / 8 Balls made a poor showing this
weekend at the Annual M8 State Tournament
(round
one, consolation
round one). Lost both of our first matches,
knocking us out Sturday morning, before the
tournament was half over. Poor Liz played in both
matches,but didn't get the chance to complete her
sets as the sudden-death rule stopped play. As she
said, "there's always next year." I expect the team
will be quite different next time round. Played Jeanette Lee at the San Diego Classic.
Check it
out. Trying to climb out of my Monday slump... won
again tonight. Now 7-3 on Mondays. I've decided I
only want to finish higher than my MVP list rival,
the young Scott
B. Shank Shot Redemption beat Sally's AKA in a 5-0
sweep! 824-202. We were tied for third place, that
should move us up, hopefully. Updated the M-8
Rule Book with the Masters and Advanced
addendums. Got my 8-on-the-break patch today!
Cool. Won finally on a Monday after my three lose
streak! Beat the not-so-happy captain of "Dawgg
Pound," Al (51), in a hill-hill set five. The
reason Al, and his team mates were unhappy was
because I led the charge to force their team to
forfeit the first set of the night after their
first player showed up 30 minutes after the
designated start time. Their team is known for
being late to matches. My feeling was that its an
in-house division so at the very least a call to
the bar saying you're running late and on your way
is called for. I volunteered to tell the captain
that we were going to take the 125-0 forfeit and
that did not make the late comers happy. Ultimately
my teammates gave in and agreed to play out all
five sets. Unfortunately for Al, he got stuck
playing me. We were 2-2 going into set five and I
played all right, but I don't think Al's mood
helped his game. I pulled it out and we won. We
needed it, too... We were in 7th place (out of 12
teams), falling from 5th place after last week's
loss. Look for the midseason update on my other two
teams at the end of the week. Didn't play on Tuesday or Thursday... both teams
kicked butt! Last night Shank Shot won 4-1.
Skitch
made two eight-ball-breaks in the first two racks
of set one, the guys of "No MistEights" had no
chance after that. Oh well, there's always next season to make a
run for the MVP... Down to 5-3 on Monday's. It will
be very tough to come back. The team lost as well
1-4, only Jill won. My fellow MVP list and
teammate, Stephan,
also lost, bummer. Didn't play on Tuesday, but the
team won 3-2. Jesse,
42, clinched it for us in here hill-hill rack by
beating a guy rated 88! Last week was bad for my pool game. Not one win
out of three sets. And to top it off, I didn't play
too hot over the weekend. Well, it's a new week and
new racks. I've invented a new pool game: Race
to The Eight. 4 Girls / 8 Balls lost to Tufkutz, a very
interesting team out of Popey's bar. I, too, lost
to the team captain, Noel. Poop... Lost again on Monday to a geeky guy
rated 60. That makes me 5-2. I was hanging on in
third place on the MVP list, but that's gonna
change after tonight. So, the leaders look like
this after tonight: Name 1st Scott B. 2nd 2nd Brendan K. 1st 3rd Elleni 6th, maybe 4th Darren M. 3rd 5th Stephan
P. 4th 6th Erin E. 5th It was a really long weekend of pool in the Fall
2002 Consolation Regional Tournament. Both
4Girls/8Balls and Shank Shot made it into the Sweet
Sixteen of the tournament after an earlier round
two weeks ago. Saturday both teams played at a
place called The Star Bar. Of 14 possible players,
between the two teams, there were only six
that made it out, five for Shank Shot and only four
for 4Girls/8Balls (we share three players). We
caught a break when the tournament director, Joel,
put the two teams on neighboring tables. Shank Shot lost
1-4, me, Todd,
Liz and
Nicole
all lost, with only Dylan
winning (he rocked). So, on the Consolation side we
finished 9th-16th in our region. Not bad, but
4Girls did better... 4Girls only had four players in attendance at
the Star Bar, but still WON two matches
back-to-back, three sets to one! Todd, Liz and I
each won our sets for both matches. We were very
lucky and did not have to deal with forfeiting the
fifth sets since playoffs and tournaments are all
"sudden death." That big winning day guaranteed us
$400 and put us into the Final Four! Find out how
we finished on the 4Girls/8Balls
page...
