Summer Series at Rack-M-Up

By Markus Noé

unday June 12th Rack-M-Up
SBilliards held the third qualifying
event in their annual “Summer Series”.
Cornwall and area is a well known
hotbed for talent in the competitive
“pool world”, however in the summer
months the tournament circuits in
Ottawa and Montreal, which many local
players participate in, take a seasonal
break. For those who crave constant
competition these are the longest
months of the year to push through. In
order to keep interest in pool during
what is traditionally known as the
off-season for the sport the “Summer
Series” was born.
This is the brainchild of the owners
of Rack-M-Up Billiards, Doug Disotell,
and Amanda Collins. The circuit
features 8 qualifying tournaments and
one Grand Final. Players interested in
participating in the Grand Final must
compete in 4 of the 8 tournaments. The
entry fee is $40 and each tournament
has a max of 16 players. This is to
ensure that players have time to actually
compete in the tournament, as many do
not have 12+ hours to spare during this
time of the year to spend indoors, which
is something you often see in 32+ player
