Outstanding outing(s):
- Julian F scored 77 points.
- Steve V shot a 74.
- Mike B and Micah N tallied 73 points each.
RAFFLE Status:
- Nicholas D was selected on the night of his league debut. He racked on table 15 and miscued on the break for a foul.
- Ed S had an impactful break on Table 09. The 8-ball spun like this week’s Chicagoland tornados on its way toward the SE corner pocket, but never touched down. The end result was a dry break.
- The entire raffle pot rolls over to Week 02.
OTHER:
- Big Slick had the only case of a missing player that caused a handicap subtraction impact (8 points). Their opponent Wolff Pack was therefore awarded 8 bonus points. See Rule 20.E’s example i. for a little more generalized explanation.
- Roster changes since earlier in the week and already reflected on the Team Rosters page of this site:
- Matt S joined There Goes My 80
- Long V is now a sub on Double Focus
- Jeff K rejoined HWGA Rejects for version 3.0
- Alberto G was added to A Fresh Start among that team’s other necessary adjustments
- League debuts included:
- Quite a few from the match of Sharp Shooter’s versus A Fresh Start. Nicholas D, AC C, and Danny O each scored 65 or better. Christopher S and Alberto G kept their scores more modest.
- Alejandro T and Abisai C were each near 60 in their first matches with the Last Game team.
- Edgar A and Esteban Q returned after having missed the previous season. Far more dramatic than that was the return of Kevin J for the first time since Covid-19 caused us to cancel our 2020 Spring Season.
- The Pocket Rattlers were more like opponent rattlers this evening by scoring either 72 (three of them) or 71 points (the other player).
- Ten individuals invested in the Top Shooter side-pot competition. Others can still join in before 11pm on July 27th. This season will require playing a minimum of 11 weeks to qualify. See rule 24.B for more details.
- Former league member Michael L was seen competing with Bill F on Table 14 which was newly-designated this season to replace Table 16 as the only rentable 9-footer while league matches are in progress.
- Leon made his league-night debut working the venue’s front counter while Jesús is away.
