A big thank you to everyone who made this year's annual intercollegiate tournament such a success! We would not have been able to achieve this without the help of all the skilled players, our exec team, the staff at Q1 Billiards, and our supportive members. This year's champion is Bill Yang, runner-up is Justin Li, and third place is Akshay Bhasin. The three of them fought through a tough field of 32 players to come out on top. Congratulations to you all on a wonderful perfor...mance! Thanks to the generosity of Q1 Billiards, we were able to give away three cues and three sets of billiard balls to our participants. They provided us with amazing Diamond billiard tables to play on and we encourage everyone to give their venue a visit! It is always a pleasure to host this tournament and witness the passion that students have for this game. We hope that this tournament motivates all of you to continue playing and spread this wonderful game.
