Outstanding outing(s):

1. Bill F, Julian F (his 4th for this season) and Romy G each accomplished perfect 80s.
2. Francisco M  and Craig P both scored 77.
3. Jimmy S tallied 76.

RAFFLE Status:

1. Mike K was selected for the third time this season.  He broke on Table 7 and the 4-ball shot in the corner pocket.
   • The 1-ball rested on the middle diamond of the foot end with the cue ball mid table.
   • Both corner pockets were partially blocked for a clean bank.
   • His best option was to try banking toward the 9-ball to carom it in the pocket. Was very close but did not fall.
2. Roy S was picked for the second time this season (first time was just before the tickets, on sign-up night where he also cashed out). He made the 7-ball in the side pocket.
   • The cue ball was a few inches away from the side pocket and the 1-ball was midway between that side pocket and the corner pocket about 12-14 inches away from the rail.
   • He hit it perfectly and got perfect shapes on the 2-ball.
   • The 3-ball was straight in the side, shapes on the 5, easy-peasy.
   • But he didn’t want to risk the 6-ball as he didn’t get the shapes he wanted and cashed out for 5/9ths of the pot.
3. The remaining raffle pot rolls over to Week 12.  

OTHER:

1. 501 Club had their best match of the season scoring a whopping 330!! Nice job!!

RAFFLE Status:

2. Nancy K, Table 11:  Made the 2-ball in the corner, was left with a long bank on the 1-ball, but the 5-ball denied it to go in!
3. The entire raffle pot rolls over to Week 11.

OTHER:

1. Last Game, again, had an absent player causing an 8-point HCP decrease which in turn awarded the 8-point Bonus to Racking My Brain opponents.
2. Wolff Pack had a missing player, but theirs caused an 8-point HCP increase, therefore did not award any Bonus points to Behind the 8-ball!
3. Big Slick’s absent player had no HCP impact.
4. But the Ferocious Ferrets missing player caused an 8-point HCP decrease which, therefore, awarded Big Slick the 8-point Bonus.
5. There Goes My 80 had an absent player also, causing an 8-point HCP decrease, awarding their opponent The Butchers an 8-point Bonus!!!
6. This season is now 50% completed.  New envelopes were given to collect weekly fees for the remaining half. Amounts were shown if a player owes for the previous 9 weeks. Any discrepancies, please let Nancy know.(Except for Scorpions whose members have already paid in full).

Outstanding outing(s):

2. Dave F scored 77 points.
3. Romy R tallied 76.

RAFFLE Status:

1. Frankie C, Table 2: Selected for the first time this season.  There were lots of bouncing balls after the break impact, but none dropped into a pocket.  End result = Dry break.
2. Mike K, also Table 02: was on their BYE, but came in specifically for the raffle. Unfortunately, was not worth the wait, as he broke dry.
3. The entire raffle pot rolls over to Week 10.  

OTHER:

1. Last Game had a missing player which caused a HCP variance of negative 8.  The inverse was therefore awarded as a bonus of 8 points to opponent Ferocious Ferrets.
2. Road Warriors also had a missing player causing a 16 point HCP decrease therefore awarding 16 points to their opponent Scorpions. But luckily for the Road Warriors, their GHOST player scored an 80.
3. Wolff Pack had a missing player also but theirs caused an 8 point HCP increase to their score and no Bonus was awarded to Big Slick.
4. Mike H made his season debut for Ferocious Ferrets.
5. Robert S (Easy Money) of Racking My Brain also made his season debut.
6. This season’s 2nd-half envelopes will be available next week for the remaining weekly fee collection. Please check the old against the new. I will only need the old one back if there is a discrepancy. 
7. Our real League Operator has been having a great couple weeks! Let’s hope that keeps up and maybe we can see him soon for a visit!!!

   3. The entire pot rolls onward to Week 09.

OTHER:

   2. Doni B of the Creepy Bullys made his season debut.
   3. Just a throw-out to Jesus for helping with the raffle. All has gone smoothly with the change to tickets and thank you for doing a great job!!

3. Jerry W shot a 74.

RAFFLE Status:

1. Ed S was the first pick of the night, but broke dry.
2. Kevin C, Table 14: Made the 2-ball in the corner on the break. Had a decent shot on the 1-ball. Made it with ease, but when the cue came up table for the 3-ball, it just bumped the 3-ball into the 5-ball. Although the crowd said he should go for the combo, Kevin didn’t want to risk it bumping into the 9-ball and cashed out for 2/9th of the pot.
3. The remaining raffle pot rolls over to Week 08.  

OTHER:

1. David K of The Butchers made his season debut.
2. Bill F of Ferocious Ferrets made his season debut.
3. Sharon W of Behind the 8-Ball made her season debut. We wish her luck at Nationals for golfing!!!
4. There were two player absences which, by virtue of Rule 20.E.i’s example, resulted in bonus points for one team but not the other (which played each other), as follows:
   Wolff Pack earned 8 points from the Last Game absence due to Last Game’s HCP being reduced by 8 points.
   Last Game did not benefit from Wolff Pack’s absence as Wolff Pack’s HCP increased by 8 points.

Outstanding outing(s):

1. Stan G had the only perfect 80, his first of the season.
2. Adrian P scored 77.
3. Sam B shot a 74.

RAFFLE Status:

1. Steve VD made the 8-ball in the corner pocket but the cue ball happened to find the side pocket also.
2. Adrian P was chosen next. He had a good break making the 5-ball in the corner pocket.  The 1-ball and the 3-ball were couple inches apart at the foot end middle diamond about an inch off the rail. The cue ball on the other side rail on the head side. He had the 4-ball hanging in the one side pocket and the 8-ball hanging in the other side pocket. He looked at both angles to try and bank into them and just missed hitting the 8-ball in.
3. The entire raffle pot rolls over to Week 07.  

OTHER:

1. There were no missing players this week.
2. A question was raised if a ball was accidentally knocked in by a “belly”. Does it stay down, get restored to its original position, or spotted? The opponent has the authority to restore the ball to where it was, but no way does it get to stay down.
3. Also, a question was asked last week whether when 2 or more balls are moved by a player, but not by the normal action of the cleanly-shot cue ball, is that a foul? Yes, it is a ball-in-hand foul.
