Noteworthy events from 2026/27 Winter Signup night

The official signup for the general public concluded with 15 teams enrolled.  The season will end on 25Feb2027’s Party night.  Also, because we have 15 teams playing this season, we will have a BYE each week which will be available for those off on a BYE on table 17.

If any other individuals are interested to join in, please notify the venue (Shooter’s Sports Bar and Billiards, Grayslake Illinois)  before Tuesday, 20Oct2026:7:00pm.  The venue will, in turn, notify the league operator by the final deadline of 8pm on the same night.

The season’s match play officially begins on Thursday, 22Oct2026 at 7:30pm.

The captains/delegates at the meeting participated in a rule change discussion and vote.  Summary of the discussions and changes were implemented:

  1. Missing Player average used – when there was a missing player, the highest player’s average was used again to make up the handicap. It was voted to average out the 3 players that are playing and use the average as the fourth player to make up the handicap. The highest player will still only play 2 games just as before.
  2. Two players missing – when 2 players are missing, those two players play two full rounds. Those 2 players averages were used twice to make up the handicap, minus the -15 point penalty. It was voted that if the 2 highest handicapped players are playing, there will be an additional -5 point penalty, making it a -20 point penalty. If it’s not the 2 highest players, it will remain the -15 point penalty.
  3. ACS and Fargo were voting down again for this season.
