[Bamboo Grove]

The Bangkok team came out as team champions this year. After four different competitions it was Bangkok 27 points, Hua Hin 27 points, Pattaya 10 points. Because BKK and HH were tied, it was decided that an extra competition should be played to decide the winner.
This was pool killer with two modifications to the rules. Each team had four players with three lives. Instead of pocketing just one ball, the players were required to pocket two on a row. Also as this is a fun competition we decided that every time before it was a players turn to shoot he was required to drink a vodka schnaps. It went down to the end with both teams having only one player left; Bangkok's Julian and Hua Hin's Jim both had one life left when Julian pocketed two balls leaving only one on the table. This was touching the end cushion leaving Jim an almost impossible task to get back to the game. As the ball stayed on the table after the shot, it was time for the Bangkok boys to start partying. Total individual winner came also from Bangkok as Kenny finished with 8 points beating his team mate, Dale, who managed to get 6.
Individual winners
9-ball doubles (not part of the overall competition): Kenny/Gavin (BKK)
Petanque: Teetee (Hua Hin)
Darts: Kenny (Bangkok)
Mölkky: Pete (Pattaya)
8-ball singles: Jim (Hua Hin)
Thanks for all participants and supporters
