I’d like to thank the 39 players who made their way into Moncton this weekend.

I wanted to share a few results and notes about the tournament. Firstly, we managed to get the whole tournament completed in 1 days without sacrificing any matches or finals. We were wrapped up by 1:30 am. I’d like to thank the people who jumped in occasionally to help push some buttons on the laptop. Mike O’Neill , Gilles Leblanc , Candace Campbell . And anyone else I didn’t see .

Cue raffle. Thank you to those who bought the tickets . We are still a ways from doing the draw but we did do enough for me to add the $500 into the tournament as added money

There are 44 tickets remaining. Please let me know if you would like some and I can do the draw asap.

Doolys - Thank you for giving me a place to host this yearly Christmas party lol. Winter classic .

Nbba- thank you for allow me to rent the balls for the tournament so players can have a consistent playing experience as our ranking tour . And for the added help on-site from the above mentioned

Reid Virtue - thank you for your help in securing the raffle supplies

I hope the players had a good experience and enjoyed the tournament. It was one of my goals to bring back players to our mountain road location and make a competitive tournament.

That we did

Thanks
