The match for King Seat went to meat nut, but Nate closed it out with a monster pull from the 2-rod. Bill and Rick made it back for the rematch as James and Terry's great run through the loser's (after a 1st round loss) stalled at 6 straight wins (an impressive run, gents!), but Nate and Justin closed it out in the first set. Congrats to Nate and Justin on the win and to all the placers on a great run against a tough field!
Thanks You's
- A big thank you Jimmy, Suzie, Joey and all the peeps at Jimmy's Pro Billiards for their hospitality and service in hosting and sponsoring the event.
- A huge thank you to Jessie for helping run the bracket, to Spencer, Tom H, Joe M, John W, and anyone else that helped with table maintenance and prep, to Gillian for help with the big bracket, sign ups and clean up and to Wallis for donating some prize raffle goodies (may the live-feed experiment come to fruition at a future tourney).
- Thank you to all the players for coming out. We have a great group in this area, and it's always fun to see everybody at this one.
Happy Thanksgiving and here's to a great winter foos season!
Hope to see you on the table at Jimmy's, Mort's, the December or January MN Monthly's (12/1, and 1/5) and the Twin Cities Winter Foos League (starting 1/15).
