10 K Tour Kicks Off at Pool Paradise

Scott McDonald outlasted 62 other talented players to win the first tour o­n the 10 K Tour.  The field was full thanks to Pool Paradise in Waterloo, o­ntario, o­n October 9-10, showing their hospitality and making the players feel comfortable.

Many players made appearances to earn some of the 33 points required to play in the final event where at least $10,000 will be added.  Many traveled from Buffalo, NY, Niagara Falls, and London, o­ntario. 

Dennis Hatch and McDonald met first in the hot seat match, where Hatch prevailed.  McDonald then met with Dave Parker in the semifinals, and he staved off elimination for a trip back to the finals.

In a true double-elimination final, McDonald bested Hatch in two straight sets to take first place, the pot of $2,150, and the points. 

A second-chance tournament was also held for the first 16 players that were ousted.  Steve Barnhart claimed the $200 first-place prize, while Charlie Dopp took $100 and second place.
