Lucky Draw Spring 2020
This past Saturday the Los Angeles Pool League held it's first tournament fundraiser of the new season, The Lucky Draw, at Trunks in West Hollywood. A special thank you to Waldo for arranging to have the pool table set back in place and bartender Alex who opened up early for us.
The teams, put together by random draw, had some impressive pairings that guaranteed a fierce competition was going to ensue from the very first break.
There were some incredible shots by some non league guests and new players to our league as well as some veteran players that amazed the onlookers. The top 5 teams to be congratulated on stellar performances are as follows.
1st Place Tod Davenport and Arnold Castellanos
2nd Place Saeromi Kim and Jason Woodward
3rd Place Team JA [squared] Julian Auzenne and Jonathan Arton
4th Place Tommy Nguyen and Allen Fambro
5th Place James Prather and Steve Duckman
The 50-50 raffle was won by Jonathan Arton, a first season player in our league on the 'No Trouble' team at Gold Coast. Jonathan very kindly donated the winnings back to the League. Thank you for supporting the League Jonathan, as well as the other players mentioned and not mentioned who showed up to participate, cheer on or shark from the side lines. Special shout out to Mike Harris for sitting this one out so we would have an even number of players.
If you are a new player to the League or having some issues with your game or just don't understand anything your doing on Tuesday night, come to our next fundraiser. The Mentor Tournament at Trunks this coming Saturday, February 22 at 12 noon will be part tournament and part tutoring. I encourage all new players to attend.
