With almost 50 players in attendance, SFPA members filled up the back half of Family Billiards on Sunday in one of our largest tournaments in memory. Traditionally a day for West Coast Challenge individual qualifying, the new once-yearly WCC schedule meant that these events were just for pride and cash prizes. No one was surprised at the decision to play shortened matches of race to 2 in the winners bracket and race to 1 in the losers bracket. The hall felt even more crowded thanks to the new Sunday APA 9-ball league taking up three tables along the wall.
After a fun afternoon of pool, Kevin Scheper (All-Star), Yuko Takahashi (Rising Star), Rick Bradford (Star Search), and Crystal Kelem (Women’s) emerged victorious in the four divisions. Please click through to the Tournaments tab to view full results and brackets.
This concludes our tournament schedule for the year. The Records & Superlatives page has been updated to include all of this season’s events, with Mike Maxwell, Tom Seymour, Thayer McDougle, Crystal Kelem, and Rick Bradford adding to their record-setting tallies.
Good luck to all remaining teams in the playoffs and we will see you at the awards party on February 20!
