We are looking for a team to fill the "bye" spot but if you know of another team that's interested in playing, let us know as soon as possible.

Please also note that there have been some rule changes this season that you need to be aware of. Per a canvas of all of the teams last season, the starting time of the match has been moved up from 8:00 PM to 7:30 PM. You can read the rules for the details but basically, you need at least 2 players to begin playing at 7:30. As more players show up they can be added in but the point is to get a few games done so that you're not there till all hours of the night. There's nothing in the rules that dictates what order you play the games in and if you're starting with 2 players you can get a least 3 games under way. Note that if you refuse to get started with at least one game in progress by 8:00 you risk forfeiting the last doubles match. For the 1^st 5 weeks of the season, be a little flexible but do your best to start on time. Most of the rules in the league follow standard 8-ball playing rules, legal shots, frozen balls, racking, etc. but there are some rules specific to the league that do come up on occasion that you should be aware of so that you're not blindsided by them. Fouling when your opponent has no balls left to shoot at other than the 8-ball. Opponent gets ball-behind-headstring. Fouling and in the course of that foul sinking your opponents last ball. Opponent gets ball-in-hand. Cue ball leaves the table (except on the break). Opponent gets ball-in hand Not leaving your opponent a clear shot at the 8-ball. Ball-in-hand (not loss of game) only if your opponent doesn�t hit the 8-ball The most controversial (and fortunately rarely used) is the "Consecutive Foul Rule". For an example lets use the following scenario: A stripe & solid are positioned at the center of the far rail with the 8-ball in between frozen to both the rail and each other and the cue ball is on the opposite rail. Typically, each player might just elect to foul over and over without hitting any of the balls. The 1^st player to call a consecutive foul on the other will eventually get an advantage by forcing their opponent to make a legal shot or lose the game. Both players have only one opportunity in each game to invoke this rule (lest it be abused). It should only come into play towards the end of a game when both players have limited shots available and opt to just foul instead of attempting a shot. It can only be invoked after a foul and you must alert your opponent that you're beginning the countdown. Penalty for the 1^st foul is loss of turn (Doh!!). For the 2^nd is ball-behind-headstring. 3^rd is ball-in-hand & 4^th is loss of game. Coupla' things to remember before invoking it. If you think that you're opponent isn't going to have any trouble making a legal 2^nd shot, don't bother to call it. If your opponent invoked the rule on you, don't make some wild low chance shot to set yourself up for a 3^rd or maybe 4^th foul. Break up the balls in such a way to prevent your opponent from making you shoot or hiding you again and set yourself up so that you'll have a legal shot. .
** NOTE ** The Fall 2023 Season will begin on September 6th. The Fall 2023 Seaon will be a 14 or 15 week season depending on the number of teams that register. Please let Laura or myself know whether you intend to paly or not. If we get to 8 teams and can't make 12, you may end up losing out on playing To be able to participate in the Fall 2023 Season, you must register no later than August 30th
Some People Just Don't Get it !!!!! Someone sent me the following text message last week (replies are in-line) 1. How does Gentry's John team in the new schedule of last 5 weeks play all bottom teams? Top 3 from each division play each and bottom 3 from each division play each other also. If you happened to look at the standings in week #9, Gentries John was in the bottom 3. The fact that this was being done was posted at the very beginning of the season (see below) 2. You don't have a payout plan! Actually we didn't have a payout plan because not everyone has volunteered to chip-in the $100 yet and Laura was giving the teams extra time to do so. We talked last evening. She has $800, so far so we decided to close the window for the chip-in. Prizes will likely be $500/$300. (for any team that hasn't chipped in yet, that window is now closed). 3. You don't have a playoff plan! Playoffs are the top 8 teams based on points and that was posted on week #1. 4. I get it. It depends where the 2 tack Room teams end up. Is that it? Where the Tack Room teams end up is of absolutely no concern to me. I do understand that Laura will likely schedule the final match at the Tack Room and that's her prerogative. I personally don't deny her the opportunity to make it easier for her to be on hand to resolve any disputes durng the final match and be able to immediately pay out the 2 teams at the conclusion of the match. 5. Maybe in the future just have every team play each other once. With only 6 teams per division, to play each other once would be a 10 week season which is too short. The idea was to allow the teams to see some new faces & bars. Obviously, you don't like that but my goal was to make it more interesting for the rest of the teams in the league and not cater to any single team (including the one that I play on). 6. Have playoff schedules at the beginning of season top 8 teams or all so we know what the hell is going on. See #3 above (original begining of season posting is below) In summary.... texts like this are painful reminders of why I quit running the league many years ago. If I do decide to throw in the towel again, I would like to thank you personally for the money it'll save me on web hosting fees and not having to waste any more time on keeping the web site up-to-date.


NOTE The Winter 2023 Season is 15 weeks long. All teams will have at least 7 Home games but some will have 8 (just the luck of the draw) For the bars with 2 teams it doesn't matter as you'll have 15 Home games cumulatively. Only the 1st 10 weeks of the schedule are being published at this time. What I'm going to attempt to do (if possible) is to manually create the schedule for the last 5 weeks cross-division matching the better teams (and lesser teams) from each division against each other. This will add some diversity as you'll play teams that you haven't played against during the 1st 10 weeks. It should also make these last 5 matches more competitive. If I can't accomplish this or enough of the captains give me a valid reason why this shouldn't be done, the last 5 weeks of the season will be identical to the 1st 5 weeks of the season. Playoffs will begin the week following the last scheduled match of the season. Only the top 8 teams (based on total points) will be included in the playoffs. The format will be 1st vs 8th, 2nd vs 7th, etc.
