Ultimate Pool USA Grand Finals: Day-7 Results Snapshot
The $112,000 8-Ball Teams final was still running past midnight with Rack Of Ages ahead of Amigos, and the Mixed Pairs final stayed unplayed for a second night.
Updated 13:00 UTC, Sunday November 8: the 8-Ball Teams final finished after the cutoff — result added below; the Mixed Pairs final remains unplayed, listed by DigitalPool for 20:00 UTC Sunday.
The richest match in league pool history was still being decided when Saturday ran out of hours. The $112,000 8-Ball Teams final between Amigos and Rack Of Ages began shortly after 8 p.m. ET and was deep into the night when this snapshot was taken — while the Mixed Pairs final, the last leftover from Friday, did not get on at all.

The Amigos–Rack Of Ages final broke off at 8:13 p.m. ET and was still in progress past 1:30 a.m., with the DigitalPool scoreboard reading 25-17 to Rack Of Ages when the snapshot was taken. Rack Of Ages went on to win it — the official bracket records a 25-17 final, completed at 12:55 UTC Sunday after nearly 13 hours at the table — collecting the $112,000 top prize, the biggest payday in league pool history. Amigos settle for the $50,000 runners-up cheque.
Semi-final winners confirmed by the official DigitalPool bracket and SportShorts' wire; all scores above are DigitalPool's readings, and the final result is the bracket's own record — marked complete at 12:55 UTC Sunday.
Mixed Pairs: final still unplayed — again
For a second straight night the Mixed Pairs final never started. Ashley Benoit & Chris Melling against Avah Weems & Oscar Dominguez was carried over from Friday, listed for Saturday night, and still unplayed at the cutoff; the DigitalPool bracket now shows a Sunday listing, though its schedule has slipped all week.
Both semi-finals went on Friday: Benoit & Melling beat Styer & Fefilova-Styer — the National Pairs champions, sent straight back out — 6-1, while Weems & Dominguez took the hill-hill semi 6-5 over Van Boening & Mast.

Around the hall
- The opens — the 512-player National Open and the 128-player National Women's Open continued bracket play through Saturday, both bound for Sunday; the National Junior Open began in the morning.
- NSL Stage 2 — all five of the league's singles divisions are now settled: the Semi-Pro final between Michael Bramlett and Kevin Wampner was completed overnight, with the DigitalPool bracket recording Bramlett as champion — a result unconfirmed by a second source at the cutoff.
What happens next
Rack Of Ages' win crowns the last league team champion of the week and pays out the biggest cheque in league pool.
