Noteworthy events from 2025 Winter Week 2

Outstanding outing(s):

  1. Esteban Q (his 2nd in a row), Mark DeM, Jerry R, Debo A, Tony L and Mona T all had perfect 80s.
  2. Jim McC, Julian F, Sean B and Alex O each scored a 77.
  3. Brandon D knocked down 76.

RAFFLE Status:

  1. Sean B having quite a night, as noted above shot a 77 and was chosen for the break and run, too.
    • He broke on Table 16.
    • The 1-ball flew into to side pocket.
    • The cue ball was at the foot of the table just a couple inches off the rail, about a diamond away from the corner pocket and the 2-ball was almost mirrored at the head of the table with the 7-ball right in the middle between them.
    • He kicked the cue ball off the long rail with a firm stroke coming from behind the 2-ball whacking the 7-ball down to the foot of the table and banking back into the corner pocket, and the 2-ball caromed into the side pocket.
    • Shot the 3-ball into the corner pocket with nice position on the 4-ball in the same corner pocket.
    • That left a long, straight-in shot on the 5-ball. He contemplated whether or not to shoot it (he wanted it!) but in the background “someone” was saying “TAKE THE MONEY!”
    • He cashed out with 5/9th of the pot.
  2. There was no 2nd pick.
  3. The remaining raffle pot rolls over to Week 03.  

OTHER:

  1. Roster alterations since sign-up night:
    • David C added to the Last Game and also made his debut.
  2. Steve J went from Behind the 8-Ball to The Pistol Whips.
  3. Racks and Balls had one absence which did not affect their HCP.
  4. Chalkoholics also had one absence with no effect to their HCP either.
  5. One deadline approaching in Week 03.  By 11pm on that night:
    • Last chance to fill in roster-specific subs.  If a team continues to have open slots at 11pm, they will remain open through the remainder of the season.
  6. Any new member that plays at least one week will need to pay the ACS membership fee which will be good through May 2025. Will then vote next season to renew. New members please pay your fee within the next 2 weeks. It would be much appreciated!
