25 players broke out their pool cues on this night and contributed to signing up 10 teams for this upcoming 2021 Spring season.
Captains gathered for a brief meeting about rule change considerations.
Key points and changes resulting from the meet:
- We agreed to enroll again for ACS sanctioning. The meeting facilitator alerted that the ACS sanctioning fee will be $15 instead of $10, but the official vote results were 6 in favor and 3 opposed (there were only nine teams existing at the captains meeting).
- The Timeouts rule was challenged as taking too much time and the captains agreed to this rephrasing, “…execute the shot within no more than 3 minutes.”
- Other topics arose and were discussed but did not result in any additional changes.
Raffle Status:
- Kevin C was selected first by this season’s randomizer (relax – it’s the same one we’ve been using). Kevin racked on Table 08 and made a ball on the break. The 1-ball was available although not easy and Kevin missed the northwest pocket by approximately 1.4 inches.
- Bill T was next and sank a break ball on Table 12. Bill’s cue ball sat a lot closer to the 1-ball than Kevin’s scenario, but the slice into the east side pocket proved too difficult.
- The raffle pot rolls over to opening night of the season.
Other notes:
- Several players (e.g., Jim McC, Paul S, Dennis S) returned to the league for the 1st time since last spring’s cancelled season.
