Outstanding outing(s):
- Jerry R scored the only 77 of the night and there were no perfects.
- Steve V had the only 76.
- Kyle B shot the only 74.
RAFFLE Status:
- Craig P, Table 08: First time ever for Craig. His break shot generated a near miss of the 3-ball in the NE corner pocket. It quivered and shook but jumped out. Lots of action ensued thereafter including the 6-ball caroming off the head rail toward the same NE corner. It ran out of steam, though, with about 2 inches remaining. Dry break.
- Terry N, Table 02. The 6-ball sunk on the break into the SW corner. Cue-ball landed near the NW rail. The 1-ball was in the kitchen with the 7-ball half-interfering with a clean shot to the SE corner. Terry did what he could. He hit the 1 with impact causing both 1 and 7 to rail around for a while, but nobody’s pockets welcomed a donation.
- The entire raffle pot rolls over to Week 17.
OTHER:

- The League Operator summarily announced about a free team entry available in the 2024 ACS Nationals tournament. Here are the explicit details: The ACS provides a FREE Nationals Standard Division 8-Ball Team Entry to ALL ACS-sanctioned leagues, so the Team Standard Entry Fee is free, but the team will still need to submit the $25/player green fees. A player must have at least 8 weeks played in our current 2023_4 Winter Season.
- Note the classification of Standard is also explicit. This thereby excludes players in Open, and Advanced / Master rankings.
- Generally, any of our players who have a 7.5 or lower Pts/Game average can typically be negotiated into the Standard classification, but the ACS management has the final authority for those decisions.
