Outstanding outing(s):
- Roy S, in his 1st return since the last time he played, shot a perfect 80.
- So did the ghost of Chris O (from Nuthin’ But a Stroke).
- Kevin G (we said last week that he is new and improved) scored 75.
- Mona T shot a 74.
RAFFLE Status:
- There was only one selected player (Brian N) this week due to Rule 18.H’s if condition being not applicable. It is the first time that’s happened since Week 03 of the 2019 Spring season (Roy S made 6 that night). Brian sank two on the Table 8 break shot and had a full length corner to diagonally opposite corner 1-ball shot that set him up for the next two pretty well (3-ball in the south side pocket, and 4-ball in the northeast corner). The next target (6-ball) was unappealing, so he cashed out with five balls sunk.
- The remaining pot rolls over to Week 02.
OTHER:
- The captains agreed to several points related to the Perpetual Placard mentioned in rule 23A.
- 1/3 of the Placard cost will be deducted from this season’s prize pool, and another 1/3 from next season’s. The League Operator will make the initial purchase and forsake reimbursement of the final 1/3.
- Nameplates will get added following the end of each season.
- If possible, one nameplate per season with season name, names of 1st place team players, and name of league’s top shooter.
- If that won’t all fit on one nameplate, then two nameplates will be used per season to accomplish the same identification.
- 31 out of 32 players were on hand for this week’s opening week of the August 2020 season. 9.77% of the 31 players were substitutes!
- As usually happens after the summer season, there were many who returned to the league after at least a one-season absence. Three people (Lew M, Jon W, and Dave G) had missed both Spring and Summer 2020 seasons. Welcome back!
- Brian F made his league debut and scored 39 against the summer season’s 1st place team.
- This week corresponded with opening night of the 2020 NFL season.
