**Sunday, April 27th, 2025 | Doors at 10:00 AM**
*Only at The Sticks Billiards & Lounge, Lloydminster*
*Something intangible yet palpable is in the air at The Sticks Billiards & Lounge—a sense of anticipation.* We are proud to announce a grand opening tournament that will mark the reveal of our **brand-new Clash Steel pool tables** 🛠️, where state-of-the-art craftsmanship meets the timeless skill of the game. This event isn’t just a competition; it’s the beginning of a new chapter in Lloydminster’s cue sports scene, unfolding in the very venue long regarded as the city’s hub of billiards culture. For those who cherish the art and science of pool, this day promises more than just matches—it offers a celebration of precision, strategy, and camaraderie, all underlined by an almost reverent respect for the sport we love.
# # 🎯 Participating Players
The lineup of competitors is nothing short of stellar, featuring some of the finest players around. We’ve listed each player’s **Fargo rating** beside their name to highlight their caliber (for those unfamiliar, higher numbers indicate stronger players). These contenders boast ratings from the high 500s into the 700s—truly world-class territory that would make a lesser table tremble (good thing our tables are made of steel 💪).
- Ryan Delos Santos – 610
- Edwin Salinas – 628
- Deckz Eniceo – 601
- John Darrin Marion – 624
- Janri Cruz – 669
- Scott MacKay – 630
- Joe Bordeleau – 677
- Raymond Caderma – 593
- Jason Kishayinew – 711
- Marty Blackstar – 583
- Brian Butler – 700
- Phil Tourangeau – 654
- Jason Shunock – 596
These Fargo ratings speak volumes: any player above 600 is a force to be reckoned with, and several in this roster soar well beyond that. Expect to see daring offensive runs, cunning safety battles, and endgame pattern play executed with nerveless focus. In other words, **prepare for a clinic in high-level pool** – the kind of performances that can make even seasoned spectators hold their breath. 😮
