Tony “The Snake” Cardillo Tops Round Robin Field!

-
The Pool Players of The Brookes’ Billiard Club (PPB) wants to thank our Travel Team Director Tony Cardillo for putting this competition together. On Saturday September 9, 2023 the PPB Billiards Club hosted an 8-Ball Singles Round Robin Tournament in HOA1’s Catalina Recreation Center (CRC) Billiards Room. The PPB was tentatively scheduled to play SaddleBrooke Ranch’s Billiard Club but they could not coral enough members to make the date. So Tony decided to hold a Round Robin 8-Ball Tournament instead. The format was each participant would play every other participant one game of 8-Ball. We had 10 participants so everyone would play 9 games of 8-Ball. The following field of 10 players showed up to compete in the game of 8-Ball. Joe “Ball Breaker” Vidmar, Dave Parker, Mike “Mayhem” Meredith, Joe “Fast Eddie” Giammarino, Lowell “8-Ball” Hegg, Randy “Thin Man” Smith, Tony “The Snake” Cardillo, Jack “Crash” Hoverter, Les Goins, and Dick Dunbar. Results: 1st place Tony Cardillo with 9 wins and 1 loss 2nd place Joe Giammarino with 8 wins and 2 losses 3rd place Jack Hoverter with 7 wins and 2 losses Recap: Tony “The Snake” Cardillo ended up on top of the field of 10 8-Ballers. At the end of the Round Robin Tournament Tony Cardillo and Joe Giammarino were tied with 8 wins and 1 loss each. To break the tie they would play 1 game of 8-Ball. Tony defeated Joe for the title in the PPB’s 1st Round Robin 8-Ball Tournament. This type of tournament is a winner as far as I’m concerned, it fits our time frame of 2 /3 hours and everyone gets to play a bunch of pool! That’s a winner in my book. The PPB wants to thank all our participants for their support. The 8-Ball Singles tournament started at 9:00 AM and lasted 2 hours 15 minutes with 45 games of 8-Ball being played. We had a friendly competition with friends that shared our passion. THAT is a good day! RACK’EM UP!
