Noteworthy events from Autumn 2020 sign-up night

Captains as of 7:30pm gathered and voted upon rule changes.  The only decisions made were:

  1. Stay unsanctioned by ACS at least until the next season begins.
  2. Acquire a Perpetual Placard for placement of 1st Place Team and Top Shooter nameplates at the end of each season.
  3. Bring back a budget for acquiring those nameplates.
  4. We agreed to keep rule 23E which stipulates that at least a 3rd of the season will need to have been played for prize money to be awarded based on standings. The rule is a bit more elaborate than that regarding detail, but that’s the gist of it.

NOTE: An opening night subsequent meeting / vote will be needed among captains to:
1) verify the League Operator’s wording of decisions 2 and 3 above (see newly posted rule #23A).
2) decide on the placard size and its funding source(s).

Key points

  1. Signups resulted in 8 teams by the end of the night – with the 8th team blended together from people who entered the venue without a team.
  2. The season will begin on Thursday 10Sep2020.
  3. Any other teams are welcome to join, but the deadline to notify the League Operator is Tuesday 08Sep2020::8PM Chicago time. That same deadline also applies to roster changes among the already signed-up 8 teams. Open Sub-slot filling is permitted through week 3 by virtue of rule 19B (Autumn 2020 rules are not yet posted, but that will be its number).

Other Notes

  1. There are 16 players who skipped at least the Summer 2020 season and have now returned (according to the current rosters) as regulars.
  2. Among them, Kevin G was new and improved.

Raffle Status

  1. Jon W (welcome back) made one on the break.  The final ball to stop rolling was the 2-ball which partially obscured a shot at the 1-ball.  Jon elicited advice from the crowd.  He made a clean hit on the target, but it merely went to the southeast rail and returned from where it came.
  2. Brian S (welcome back) had an uneventful break shot.
  3. The pot will ROLLOVER to opening night of the season.
