Tour Stop 8 recap

March partners at Keshena: Amid the noise and dust of construction the tournament went off without any major issues. 72 showed up to tackle the $800 added modified single elim 9-ball tourney. The modified format proved once again to be successful as it completed one hour or more prior to the start of the partners event on Saturday. Kiley Wein of Marshfield won the 9-ball by defeating Zach Marquardt of Green Bay.

The partner’s event brought 78 teams and was completed by 7:05 pm with a one set final. Easiest Money (Rick Surber and Misti Moede) went undefeated by scoring a convincing win over the second place team of Turtle Killerz with Shawn Wilkes and Mike Casey. Turtle Killerz was formed to defeat the Dirty Turtles (Rick Weronke and Mark Hutchison). Apparently they got the word as they did not show up to be slain by the Killerz. Shawn said it didn’t matter, that they will continue to be hunted! Third place went to BS, Bob Baehler and Bud Snyder. 4^th was Larry Bezotte and Roger Cargin. Yes Roger was using blue chalk all weekend!

We focus our attention on the upcoming day and one half “LAST CHANCE TO QUALIFY” Mole Lake singles tourney on April 2^nd and 3^rd. This will be the last tournament before the finals. With over 200 players not qualified with their two times played, I hope to fill this 96 field up. The tournament will end Saturday night which will allow almost everyone to make it home for Easter dinner or supper.

We again thank Mole Lake for stepping up to do an additional event. I met with Carter Casino and North Star. Both look more promising for next season. I also plan to meet with Lake of the Torches, Watersmeet and Chip In for possible events.
