ON CUE #5 DOMINATE 10-BALL LEAGUE-ENDING TOURNAMENT
MURPHY & TOLENTINO JOINT WINNERS
The season-ending singles tournament took place last night, Wednesday 11/12/24 at On Cue Billiards and attracted 20 entrants vying for bragging rights over their team mates and rivals in the San Diego Metro 10-Ball league.
Shaun Murphy, from newly crowned Champions On Cue #5 came through the Winners' side and his team mate Winnie Tolentino fought through the One Loss side to reach the final, having defeated Phil Carranza (On Cue #1) into 3rd place and Mike Mann (also On Cue #5) into 4th. Strong performances by Christopher Moore (On Cue #2) and Danny Castaneda (College #1) saw them reach 5th & 6th place.
In the final, Winnie inflicted a first defeat of the evening on Shaun, however, since this is a true double-elimination format Winnie would need to beat Shaun twice. Alas, we were already past midnight and the club was late closing and so the team mates decided to share the glory and the prize money, making them both joint winners.
ON CUE #5 CROWNED CHAMPIONS ONCE AGAIN
The final week of the 10-Ball season saw O'Billiard #1 play host to On Cue #5 in what proved to be a relatively close-run match, trailing the Champions-Elect 3-4 before Shaun Murphy secured their 22-0 win record for a second consecutive season.
Rob Epple from 2nd-place finishers On Cue #1 made a most impressive debut to the BCA 10-Ball league claiming MVP for games won at 178, ahead of Nayan "Snax" (162) and Shaun (161). Rob also took MVP for table runs with a new record of 24, leading Shaun (17) with Nayan & Winnie Tolentino in joint 3rd (13) and finally Rob shared MVP for most shut-outs (2) with Bruce Edgar. Please refer to the 10-Ball standings page for full final results.
The season-ending 10-Ball tournament will take place on Wednesday 12/11 at On Cue. Practice from 6.30pm and play starts promptly at 7pm.
