8 Ball Run Out

Falling behind with my league updates, but I'll give it a go.

Wednesday Master league...

First game, broke and made nothing, and my opponent had an easy layout..but missed leaving the ball in the jaws.  Of course I had no easy shot, with the best defensive or offensive shot being about an 70-80%.  And I missed it, losing 0-10

Next rack my opponent broke and came up dry...I ran out the rack with awesome shape, shown below in the images.







We were 1-1 on the rounds going in the 3rd game.  Me and another guy were last for the round, and we needed to win one of the games for the round.  Playling on 2-tables, we both broke and scratched and got ran out on 10-0, 10-0.

We ended up going 2-4 for the night...dropping to 4th out of 12.

2008 Fall City Tournament

Told my team that I couldn't make it to Midwest in a few months, but we did fare well in the City tournaments.

Speed Pool: Qualified with 1:11, 1:06, 1:03, 1:01 & finally 48 seconds. Every 3 attempts cost me $5 and I was on my fourth Jackson... Top 4 made the final with a heads up race to 2 format. I ended up with 3rd place and won my $20 back...top 2 split the money.

City Team: Our team won the A division undefeated, one of the guys on our team won the Master's singles too.

Master Singles: Lost my first match 1-3, then in my second match I was up 2-0 and I scratched on the break. He ran out, then broke and ran out....then I had the break the last game, didn't make shit on the break and he again ran out. OUCH...

8 Ball Situation

I messed up my shape on the 8-ball a little bit and decided to shoot the 8-ball with high inside english to sent the cueball down table 'in case' I missed.  Would other have done this or been confident that the game was over?



I...of course rattled the 8-ball then my weak opponent made a 'master' like clean up of the table.
