 Thursday, Sept. 19, the Pit held a singles pool tournament for any student who wanted to participate. The Pit planned to start the tournament at 7 p.m., but started a bit later, hoping to get everyone who wanted to play signed up. Once the tournament started, there was a total of 29 students competing in the tournament. There wasn’t nearly that many people there to watch the tournament though.

“Usually we have a bigger turn out to these things, but we knew there would be less this time. Due to competing against other events going on right now,” Sara Flores, one of the Pit workers said. “The reason why we do this even is for the students. Fun for the students, and it gives them something to do. It brings diverse students of different majors together. It’s a tournament so people can be competitive as well,” she said.

The first place prize was a pool que. Lukas Klueber, a 21-year-old senior from Rapid City, South Dakota took the whole tournament to claim this prize.
