Whitey's Ball Count 9 Ball Doubles Tournament results
This is becoming quite the poplar format, as the field filled up quite fast in just a couple of weeks. In our 4th edition of the Ball Count 9 ball thirty-two teams made their way over for a piece of $15,450 in total cash up for grabs. The 10 Ball Break+Run pot was active and totaled at a nice $11,150 after ticket sales. With five pots at $2,000 and a sixth for $1,150 the results are as followed. NoPay Devin broke dry, Sammy Chappetta snapped two balls being half eligible for $200, Rachel Stewart broke dry, Sammy broke dry, Ricky Frught broke dry, and Devin broke dry. We sold over $1,000 in tickets so the hit still left us in a surplus after the dust settled.
On to the main event. This would be our first time upping the limit to fifteen from fourteen. The handicaps would prove to be the equalizer as of the seven teams playing as the max, only one would cash. The calcutta wasn't as super high as it usually is, but was still solid. Owning yourself and snapping off the event would net your team a solid $2,000. Not too shabby for a Saturday at the pool hall. Out of the box Travis Shipley/Tony Bartletto would takedown Savannah Weaver/Adam Graves , Kalon Kast/Zach Lawson, Josh Lee/Jimmy Horn, and then Rob Holliday/Brady Cure to reach the hill match. On the other end, Ashleigh/Kerry Dempster would takedown Gretchen/Jeremy Marshmallow, Angela Atchlet/Josh Charbonnet, Ben Parker/Zach Cohen, and then Chris Kott/Mark Shaddinger to reach the hill match. Travis/Tony would advance to the finals with the hot seat. After losing the first round, Michael Crayton/Desiree Godfrey would go on a run shooting down Tugboat/Michael Le, Brice Yaeger/Magan Breaux, Jiggles/Donovan, Josh Lee/Jimmy Horn, and then Myself/Kahn Miller to reach the final six. They would fall just short to Chris/Mark but will would go home with some tournament cash. On the other end Painter/Nip would takedown Sammy Chappetta/Julie Choe, Ben/Zach, before meeting up with Rob/Brady in the final 6. Painter/Nip would takedown Rob/Brady and then Chris/Mark to reach the final three. Rob/Brady would takehome some tournament cash and Chris/Mark would go home with both tournament and calculatta cash. Determined for the rematch with the hotseat winners, Ashleigh/Kerry would send Painter/Nip home to advance to the finals. Knowing Kerry had to be up early to go fishing, Travis/Tony would so kindly waste no time to win the first set for the big cheddar!
