SCOTT is our Champion!
🎉👏Congratulations to all the winners of the recently concluded, our first KHAOTALO CUE POOL HALL 9 BALL OPEN TOURNAMENT. It was a great and fantastic day seeing the best players fighting out, test their skills battling it out for supremacy. But the day goes to our champion Scott Cooney from England. After getting a bye in the round 1 draw(lucky fella). He started his 2nd game with a hill hill defeat in the hands of a tough Swiz guy player. But it didn't stop him ,after getting again a walkover next round (lucky fella once more). He followed it up winning two consecutive matches with convincing victories beating 3-0 both of them and qualified for the top 16 knockout stage.

Semi- finalist
(Scott Cooney, Denis Grabe, Kit V, Nam)
After another great quarter final matches. Seeing most of the game went into hill hill matches. The final 4 players came on top and rose for a bigger and tougher challenge. The first semi-final match was between world class and tough caliber players from Estonia (Denis Grabe) against Scott Cooney. As expected the two went to a last rack battle as they even they score after 4 racks. After a toe-to-toe battle, Scott came on top beating Denis Grabe and booked the first seat into the Final Round. On to the next match, CarMax also known as Kit by most of the players moved into the final round, defeating Nam Jones another tough caliber player who was a bronze medalist from the last edition of South East Asian Games.
The Final Round

Finishing the night , after some intense and dramas the two players came on top and battled it out for the crown being the 1st KHAOTALO CUE 9 BALL OPEN TOURNAMENT . Kit started well winning the first rack and proved he deserved to be in the final against a higher rank player.
