“Note to self,” wrote Briana Miller, commenting on a Sofia Mast post in Facebook on Sunday, Aug. 30. “Don’t challenge you in a race to 2.”
The comment came after the two had battled their way, both of them undefeated, to the final of the Lucasi Florida Tour’s $1,000-added Stop #5, which had drawn 24 entrants to the Village Cue Club in North Palm Beach, FL this past weekend (Sat., Aug. 29). Originally divided into a two-stage affair, the original competitors played through a double-elimination bracket until there were but four left, two from each side of the bracket. The four competitors squared off in an opening-round pair of Stage 2 matches, out of which emerged Mast and Miller to compete in the event finals. At 12:30 a.m., on Sunday morning, “after a long day at the pool hall,” Mast would write later, “Briana and I split the finals, but we still played a race to 2 for bragging rights and the trophy.”
