Pools announced for CIBC PPA Tour Finals
After the partnerships for the CIBC PPA Tour Finals were announced on Tuesday, we now have the two pools for each division.
The top seeds in each event were separated into two pools (the ATP Pool and the Erne Pool). From there, the remaining six players/partnerships were randomly drawn in pairs (No. 3 seed with No. 4 seed, No. 5 seed with No. 6 seed, etc.) with the first player/partnership drawn placed in the ATP Pool and the second placed in the Erne Pool.
