Sun Lakes residents interested in playing tournament pool in the coming year are encouraged to join the Lucky Shot Pool Club. Now in its 25th year, the organization will host its annual registration meeting beginning at 10 a.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 20, at Cottonwood Room A-6.
Persons unable to attend this meeting can join by stopping by the club’s table at the Cottonwood Open House between 9 a.m. and noon on Saturday, Oct. 9, or by contacting Tournament Director Steve Colby at 480-600-5392.
The club offers competition in 9-Ball and 8-Ball. Members may play in both 9-Ball and 8-Ball during the same tournament. Membership dues are $30 for the club’s three regular-season tournaments running from Nov. 1 to Dec. 10, 2021; Jan. 1 to Feb. 10, 2022; and March 1 to April 10, 2022.
In the round-robin competition, players are placed in groups or pockets with other players of equal skill level. Each player receives a sheet giving names and telephone numbers of others in their pocket. Players then contact each other to arrange games at a mutually-agreed-upon time.
