Noteworthy events from 2023_4 Winter Week 01

Outstanding outing(s):

  1. A perfect eighty night for Larry P (Road Warriors) and Mike K (Should Be Out).
  2. A 77 for Scott C (Pocket Rattlers).
  3. Julian F, Mona T, Romy G, and Lito G each shot a 76.

RAFFLE Status:

  1. Wes P, last week’s 2nd raffle shooter, pinky-picked Romy who dry broke on Table 07.
  2. While Steve V was racking on Table 09, Kevin C video recorded Roger M video recording Steve V. Steve’s break instantly popped the 5-ball into the SE corner pocket. The cue-ball rolled all the way back to the kitty-corner pocket. The 1-ball stopped about 5 inches from it on a nearly straight line open path to the SE corner. Steve set, got down on the shot, executed, and the 1-ball caromed off the SE rail for a miss.
  3. The entire raffle pot rolls over to Week 02.  

OTHER:

  1. Roster changes since earlier in the week and already reflected on the Team Rosters page of this site:
    • Jon S replaced Angela S as a regular on TBD’s. The aforementioned Angela and Ron M became TBD’s subs.
    • Joe C replaced John J as a sub on Free Agents.
  2. League debuts included:
    • Kevin D of Free Agents shooting a 75.
    • Free Agents teammates AJ N and Kyle B combined for 117 points.
    • Jeff L of Pool Sharks actually scored identical to his defaulted average of 7.5 points per game (thereby totaling 60).
    • Chris V’s score from Scorpions honored Walter Payton’s Chicago Bears uniform number.
    • Ron M’s score from TBD’s honored Rosevelt Colvin’s Chicago Bears jersey number.
  3. Players who played their first match after having missed more than two consecutive seasons:
    • Roy S of Wolff Pack
    • Ramiro G, Bob K, and Phil P of Scorpions
  4. None of our 19 teams had less than four players active – except Behind the 8-Ball who had their BYE this week.
  5. Eric L did it again.  He split victories against each of his four opponents this week.
  6. Nobody invested yet in the Top Shooter side-pot competition.  See rule 24.B for more details.
  7. Reminder that empty sub slots can still be filled but only through 11pm on Week 03 (Nov 30 this season).  After that any roster replacements must meet the criteria of Rule 20.F.
  8. Reminder that more than half the league captains voted to have our season ACS sanctioned, so fee collections ($15 per player) will begin in Week 02.  Those fees do NOT go into the weekly payment envelopes.  They’ll be collected and noted personally by the League Operator.
  9. Bears beat Panthers 16-13 in the NFL Thurs Night game.
