Consecutive weeks
w/o a late envelope
00
Final standings and stats have been posted along with the prize money
pay-out sheet located on the "Stats" page. I'm sorry for being late on this
final week but 2 late envelopes were the fault. They also prevented early
pay-out for those that made special requests for their prize $ for various
reasons. Sorry.

********Tournament sign-ups will start at 11:00 AM. Play begins at 12:30*******

A tournament for all league players is scheduled for Saturday, May 8th at
The Village Inn. Per our pre-season meeting, no league funds are
designated for this event. There will be $15 or $20 entry fee depending on
the number of entrants and the prize fund will be determined by those fees.
At this time, it appears that we will have a double-elimination singles event
that will be handicapped.

Prize $ pay-out envelopes will be available from 11AM to 4PM on Saturday
************************************************************************************************

A word about delivery of envelopes:
    It is the Home Team's responsibility to get the envelope to the Village
    Inn by 2 PM on Saturday. If you trust your envelope to someone else
    to deliver it, make sure that they follow through. Call the Village Inn
    before 2 on Saturday and check to see if it's there and/or call me and
    let me know who is delivering it. When I pick the envelopes up, I can
    only assume that the responsible team did or did not deliver it on time.
    Although I'm no Sherlock Holmes when it comes to tracking down
    missing envelopes, I'll make every effort to find it and prevent any loss
    of points (if I'm aware of  a potential problem in advance).

There may be some questions regarding a double-hit as we discussed at our meeting on Sept. 26th. Here's a super
slow-motion video of a double-hit that you may find helpful in understanding the foul:

The table ranking system is now operational. You can rate tables by clicking the "Rate a Table"
button on the navigation bar above. A rating page will appear. Click a few rating #'s and submit
the info. It's simple! I'll post the information as soon as 6 submissions are received and the info
will be updated weekly. Every person on your team can vote on each table in the league. I'd
appreciate 1 vote per person per table so that I don't get overwhelmed with the submissions.
The totals posted are averages for each category so, sending several submissions may not
change any ratings significantly. It's just for fun anyway.

Just a couple of notes on this rating system:
  • The category for cloth condition is very arbitrary. Because the cloth is new and clean
    doesn't automatically rate it a "5". Sometimes, new cloth doesn't play well or is not a
    good quality.
  • The cue ball should have a green Aramith or Cougar logo on it. If it does and it's clean, it
    should rate a "5". Cue balls without the green logos should rate no higher than a "4".
