Sunday July 22nd Rack-M-Up Billiards hosted the 6th qualifier out of 8 for the well received Summer Series. Since late spring there has been a qualifier approximately every two weeks. For those competitive players in the area which there are many, the Summer Series provides an outlet during the "off season" for those players who just cannot put the cue down no matter how nice the weather is.
These are handicapped events with the lowest ranking available is a 4 and the top a 9. Each player has to win a different number of games depending on their assigned handicap. Marc Malette started off the season by winning the first two events easily and looked to be in form again beating fellow tournament favorite Jacques Sauvé 9-4. In fact Malette once again charged through this 15 player field all the way through to the winner side final.
J.R Cook was the other undefeated player who met up with Malette in the winners side final. Cook who has gone a few years since his last good performance kept his momentum going and handed Malette who is ranked a 9, his first match loss of the season 6-8.
Malette regained his form in the losers side final eliminating fellow 9, Justin Miller 9-5. In the final it was a much different story as Malette went on to easily win and capture his 3rd consecutive win which is a record since the debut of the Summer Series 3 years ago.
There are two qualifiers left August 4th and August 19th and the added money Grand Final is a few weeks later. We welcome anyone to come and watch and enjoy some quality pool from some of the best players in the area. Finally the fall season is quickly approaching and the registration for the Fall/Winter leagues will be commencing shortly. There are leagues for all skill levels contact Doug Disotell for more information through the Rack-M-Up Facebook Page or by telephone 613-933-9362.
Congratulation to the most recent winners Marc Malette and J.R Cook.
