Pool League

The Leisure World Pool League’s monthly doubles eight ball tournament was held on Aug. 17.

To form the 12 two-person teams, the lower-ranked players picked the higher-ranked players for their partners.

In the first of six rounds, Zelma Berkenkamp and Bill Clawson won over Shery Wells and Gary Monahan. This would prove to be an important match, since both of those teams finished with five wins and only one loss. The other important match came in the fifth round when Tommy Flaviano and Paul Snellenbacher played Dave Silva and Roy Mittlestead. Both teams had won their first four games. Flaviano sank the eight ball for an easy win to take his team to five wins, with only one game to play.

Flaviano and Snellenbacher won their last game for a perfect six and zero score to take first place. If they had lost that game there would have been a four-way tie for first place. The three-way tie for second place was between Shery and Gary, Bill and Zelma and Dave and Roy.

The next monthly eight ball tournament will be held on Saturday, Sept. 24, in Clubhouse 2 at 1:30 pm.
