Chapter 177
LIAM: I check the dart list and start making the chart up for that. I have Lissa cut up a piece of paper and wright 1-20 on them and drop them in the cookie jar that I had to collect the money for the pool, but now I have the big envelopes from mom, that the money is in, so the contestants can draw their numbers from the jar. I start to send out texts to the contestants to please come and draw their numbers to see who will start the dart tournament. I noticed that Mackie, Trever, and Dutch all three are on the list for the darts, this is going to be fun to watch and see how far she can get and if she ends up going against either the prince or Dutch. I just wish that Kes could be here for this one, but maybe she can do the archery. I text them 5 at a time so that I can keep an eye on the pool game to make sure there is no cheating happening. Once they have drawn their number, I write their name down next to it on my chart and then on to the next one. Mackie pulls # S, Trever pulls #13 and Dutch pulls #17, I write their names next to the number on my chart and give them the name of the person they will be throwing against if I have it, if I don’t I tell them they will have to wait until that number gets pulled. The pool game finishes at the same time that I get the last of the dart people signed in. and Delta elite Thorne won. I watch as the two of them shake hands again. And go take their places to watch the next match. I walk back up to the mic and call up Alpha Vance and Delta elite Max. Then I go rerack the balls and have Vance call the coin toss. He calls heads and it lands on heads, so he gets to break. The pool game progresses at a good pace, it’s a back and forth pull as each of them takes their shots, but in the end delta elite Max wins the game. I go up to make that announcement and call Thorne back up and then go rerack the balls for the last game of the tournament. I have Maxine call the coin toss and she calls tails, and it lands on tails, so she gets to break. She ends up sinking both a solid and a stripe, she calls the solids and continues to shoot. She sinks 2 more before she misses and Thorne get to shoot, He sinks 3 before he misses, and again it’s a back and forth pull but again delta elite Max pulls out the win. I go make the announcement that Delta elite Maxine from Black Waters Pack won the pool tournament. I then go up to dad. “I need the Pool money from the safe.” I tell him. He nods and we head up to his office, he opens the safe and I take the envelope that says pool on it out and I hand it over to Max and have her count it, and dad closes the safe. All $200 dollars. “Thank you, I had a lot of fun.” She says, and we all leave dad’s office. When we get back downstairs the marquee is already starting to be rest for the morning breakfast service. I go up to the mic “Thank you to all the volunteers for helping to move the pool table back and forth, I greatly appreciate the help. The dart tournament will start after breakfast tomorrow.” I say. And then turn the mic off. 2
