He wasn’t the lowest Fargo-rated competitor at this past weekend’s (Sept. 16) Open handicapped stop on the Garden State Pool Tour, but David Schuil (499) came into a 24-entrant field that had an average Fargo rate of 522, played three of his four matches against a higher-rated opponent and snatched the hot seat from the highest Fargo-rated competitor in the field, Jason Halpin (641). Halpin moved to the loss side and won the event semifinal, at which point he and Schuil opted out of a final match and split the top two prizes. As the undefeated occupant of the hot seat, Schuil was the event’s official winner and claimed his first (recorded) regional tour title. The $200-added event was hosted by Players Billiards in Eatontown, NJ.
