Saturday July 28th local player Loreen Toutant with the help of the owner Rack-M-Up Billiards located in Cornwall, Ontario, Doug Distotell, hosted a womens only tournament. 9 players came to particpate from Cornwall, Ottawa, Québec and Awkesanse. This was a different format then most tournaments and seemed to be well liked by the players.
It was round robin with every player getting a chance to match up against everyone in the field for 4 racks. Whether someone won 4-0 or 3-1 the score would be tallied and the top 6 players woud move on to a single elimination format.
Disotell was gracious enough to return the green fee's into the tournament pot and gave the ladies a little extra to play for. Whenever it was all said and done it was Chantal Bergeron taking home first place, Nathalie Chabot taking second and fairly new local player Sandy Mackay grabbed third.
There was also a 50/50 draw and 10 Ball break and run that acted as a side pot. Marc Malette and Nathalie Chabot split the draw while Bergeron continued her hot streak and had the best run in the 10 ball break and run.
At the end of the day it was a successful event with all participants raving about the great time they had. Hopefully there will be more of these events in the future. Congratulations to all the winners and see you all next time. Toutant would also like to thank Henry Barkwell for donating his time and being a big help to make sure things ran smoothly for the entire event.
Payouts:
1. Chantal Bergeron $200
2. Nathalie Chabot $120
3. Sandy Mackay $40
