Sutherland<br \/>\nReporter<\/div>\n<p>The 19th Hole Bar &amp; Grill&#8217;s Islander Tag Team 8-Ball tournament concludes on Saturday night starting at 7pm.<\/p>\n<p>A three-way tiebreaker series between Oneshot&#8217;s Ron Chisato and Edward Suzuki, IDC&#8217;s Norman Tenorio and Quinton Ngirarios, and Tasi&#8217;s Oscar Sablan and Ed Blas will take place to determine the second and third place prize winners. All three teams finished the series with 28 points<\/p>\n<p>D2Pats&#8217; Pat Taitano and Pat Cepeda already locked up first place and won its final match via forfeit against Y-Not on Saturday. However, the gifted win did not really affect the previous standings as the alpha duo boasted a healthy double-digit lead over the field coming into the final round last weekend; D2Pats finished the event series with 35 points.<\/p>\n<p>The awards presentation will take place following Saturday&#8217;s tiebreaker matches.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, registration is now open for an encore Islander Tag Team 8-Ball series, which is set to start up on Saturday, March 17 and 18, starting nightly at 7pm. Opening racks break at 7:30pm and 9:30pm.<\/p>\n<p>Organizers are aiming to fill eight teams amd slots are still available.<\/p>\n<p>The entrance fee is $20 per team and cash prizes go to the top place finishers.<\/p>\n<p>Like the Saipan Billiards Association Budweiser Open 8-Ball League, the Islander Tag Team Tournament follows official BCA rules except that sinking the 8-ball on the break is a win. Each team plays two singles and one doubles match every week.<\/p>\n<p>Doubles players continue shooting until they miss or scratch; players don&#8217;t alternate shots. Scoring is determined by total games won. If, for instance, a team wins two games and its opponent wins one, two points are scored for the team and one point goes to the opponent.<\/p>\n<p>Call Rose Phillips at 288-3913 or Ken Phillips at 288-5929 for more information.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Walter J.
