Noteworthy events from 2023 Spring Week 12

Outstanding outing(s):

  1. Mona T and Scott C each scored a perfect 80.  Scott’s was particularly impressive in that he gave up a total of only 8 points to his four opponents.
  2. Mark D, Mike M, Tony C, and Bob C each had 77.
    • It was Mark’s 2nd consecutive 77
    • This was Mike M’s 3rd consecutive mention in the Outstanding outing(s) section and his score tonight included a double-victory against the league’s currently-ranked Top Shooter (Julian F)
    • Tony emoted verbally about the missed 80, but in good spirit and only after all league matches were done
    • Regarding Bob C, he was Bob F’ng C according to the shirt he wore
  3. Paul S, Immer H, Jerry W, Tim B, and Sam B each tallied 76.

RAFFLE Status:

  1. When Mike B put in his team’s raffle investments, he requested the randomizer to pick their sequence in the list.  The randomizer put him 2nd among the four teammates.  Mike rewarded them with a dry break on Table 10.
  2. Andrew S had a solid break  on Table 13 with a couple of close-call balls that didn’t drop – including the cue-ball near the east side pocket.  In the end, it was a dry break.
  3. The raffle pot rolls over to Week 13.  

OTHER:

  1. Jim S of Double Focus was on the premises just long enough to put his cue stick together, pay the envelope, and then learn that there was need for his attendance in a hospital delivery room.
    • Jim eventually reported it was a false alarm.  The world and his parents will need to wait for Carter’s birth a little longer.
    • Although Jim’s absence increased the team HCP value, there was no impact on the opponent’s score by virtue of rule example 20.E.ii.
  2. Alexis (Lex) S made his league debut and scored 66 for There Goes My 80.
  3. Fancy Nancy K sat out of league competition and, instead, sparred with Mike K on Table 17.
  4. The league operator:
    • worked maskless for the first time since Week 03 of the 2020 Spring season.
    • recognized the anniversary of his simultaneous kidney-pancreas transplant which happened eight years ago on this date.
