There were no upsets in the opening rounds of the Saipan Billiard Association-Summer/Fall Open 8-Ball League’s Budweiser Cup last Tuesday.
In fact, all four playoff matches ended in shutout wins by the higher seeded teams in both the Agingan and Obyan divisions.
Agingan’s IT&E Voyagers and Jonny’s Bar & Grill’s Home Boyz Five advanced to the Bud Cup semifinals last Tuesday.
Top-ranked IT&E Voyagers shutout sister-team IT&E Incredibles, 4-0, in a road draw at Jonny’s, while the third-ranked Home Boyz Five skunked the Docomo Hustlers, 4-0, in a road match at Utopia Sports Bar.
These top contenders will duke it out next Tuesday and will face the winner between Joe’s Steakhouse’s Fotten Palau and VFW Post 3457’s X-Tream for the Budweiser Cup championship on Dec. 27.
Obyan frontrunner Shark Attack devoured Jonny’s Crazy 8, 4-0, on the road and will face Jonny’s Team SCS next Tuesday.
SCS went into the 19th Hole bar and pounced Poksu, 4-0.
These two teams will face off against each other in Tuesday’s semifinals, while D’Pirates Bar’s Pirata takes on the Titans in a road match at 19th Hole Bar.
The Obyan finals is also set for Dec. 27.
