Here’s a wrap up of the winter end of session tournament held Friday April 11th at Delmarva Billiards.
We had a smaller turnout than expected with 66 players but all 12 teams in the league were represented. As with the tournament last session, we used a 5 group format based on skill level. The format was double elimination, so everyone had the opportunity to play at least 2 matches.
The group winners and the teams with the best records for the session received certificates to recognize their accomplishments.
The winners were as follows:
- Group 1, Earl Coutts, who plays on the New Rehoboth Team.
- Group 2, Ben Furnas, who plays on the New Rehoboth Team.
- Group 3, Tom Barron, who plays on the Old Crabs Team.
- Group 4, Dave Wand, who plays on Billiard Buddies Team.
- Group 5, Ken Denham, who plays on the Good Guys Team.
Billiard Buddies who won the league championship for the session with the most points at 3978. They also had the most wins with a perfect score of 11-0. Captain Mike MacMillan was overjoyed with their success.
Millsboro for having the most balls made, or net points, at 3724. We also recognized the Millsboro team for a record of 32 straight match wins, which came to an end this session. Co-Captain Harry King accepted the awards for this amazing team.
Congratulation to the each of the winners and all of those who competed.
The event was a success, and the league truly appreciates the hard work put in by Nancy, the bartender extraordinaire, and David, the owner of Delmarva Billiards for the fine luncheon buffet, to make the tournament a fun day.
A big thanks to all the volunteers: Crash, Chix and Stix; Mike Connelly, Good Guys; Mike MacMillan, Billiard Buddies; Bill Cook, Millsboro; Mark Dubowe, New Rehoboth; and Tim Dyer, Chix and Stix for their contributions. A special thanks to Rhea McVicker and the MS Cues team for their energetic work in managing the 50/50.
