Noteworthy events from 2023 Spring Week 03

Outstanding outing(s):

  1. Paul S, Mark D, TJ B, and Sharon C each ended with a perfect 80.  In Mark’s case, it was his 2nd consecutively.
  2. Mona T shot a 76.
  3. Julian F and Mike B (teammates) each scored 75.

RAFFLE Status:

  1. Mike B had a good break on Table 07, but dry.  And before all the balls stopped rolling, he stroked the 7-ball with anguish into the eastern rail.
  2. Dave G (the “Goose”) made the 1-ball and 6-ball on his Table 11 break.  The cue-ball landed near the rack spot and the 2-ball very slightly southwest of it.  Dave aimed and stroked for a cut to the SW corner and missed. The cue-ball caromed off the SW rail into the NE corner for a scratch anyway.
  3. The entire raffle pot rolls over to Week 04 and there’s an excellent chance that rule 19.H.ii will apply.

OTHER:

  1. This week had season debuts for Lito G (scored 52), Sam B (also 52), Chris H (32), Ed W (56), Brian C (70), and Dennis S (74).
  2. Enrollment for the Top Shooter side-pot competition is now closed.  Eight players are competing.  Reference rule 24.B for details.
  3. The deadline is now passed for naming dedicated subs on the rosters.  Rule 20.F stipulations are now the only means with which to adjust rosters.
  4. In the final game of the night, Erika D ran three balls in her final inning to defeat Brian C on Table 09.  Irony Alert: The game began at about the same time as The End began and the game ended before The End ended.
  5. Former league members Edgar A and Roy S dropped into the venue for a little while at different times.
  6. A former front desk employee also visited for a short while.
  7. The Cubs (daytime) and White Sox (nighttime) won their season openers.
