Final is on... live updates here!!! Might as well indulge myself, last time I'll be playing in a forum event for a while...

Frame 1
Yours truly breaks. world_class_ nearly 7-balls me but misses black. I played atrociously and couldn't capitalise, even after getting 2 shots. I had 2 balls left. 1-0 w_c_

Frame 2
I win with 6 balls still on the table (and the white). Two shots helped. 1-1...

Frame 3
With 2 balls remaining, I take frame 3 after world_class_ unluckily contacted the black which was close to his yellow. 2-1 to me

Frame 4
I missed what happened cos I was too busy writing the Frame 3 thing...! But he potted the black after only three balls potted in the frame. 3-1

Frame 5
Yaaay, I know how to play pool again! With 2 balls remaining, I further extend my lead to go within one of victory... Two shots helped again, and with those still intact by the time I was on the black there could be no mistake. 4-1.

Frame 6
And he does it... Clooneman takes a winning 5-1 lead with three games remaining, and I've succeeded in winning my own tournament. Delighted. wp world_class_, you did well but like I noticed at the time, I was like a robot out there. Everything seemed to go right, even when they didn't. Any diversions in the plan were overcome in the next shot somehow. Anyways... feels good to win it after it all.

I'll be out of competitive FP action from next week, so this will be the last thing I'll be in for a while.
