We had twelve players in person on this weather-deterrent night. Still, they mustered seven and one half teams into existence on the signup for the Winter 2021 season.
Captains gathered for a brief meeting about rule change considerations.
Key points and changes resulting from the meet:
- Agreement to remain unsanctioned – none opposed.
- League officers identified in Rule 22 were replaced by three players (Jerry W, Jon W, and Wes P) who are registered on our current signup sheets.
- Rule 6B was changed to enforce that a player who arrives after 8:30pm disqualifies that player from playing league games on that night. Non-negotiable.
- Ironically, rule 20A was changed such that a team who has fewer than two players by 7:45pm will only be considered forfeited for the night if the opposing team chooses it.
- Venue Rule 7.F (regarding jump shots as forbidden) remains unchanged, even though an exception scenario was requested during the meeting.
- The season is scheduled to begin on Thursday 11Feb2021. The League Operator must be contacted no later than Tuesday 09Feb2021::8pm if any roster additions or alterations are sought. If we remain as 7 or 8 teams, the final night is scheduled to be on 01Apr2021. If we get to 9 or 10 teams, it would schedule to end on 15Apr2021 instead.
- Open sub-slot filling is permitted through week 03 by virtue of rule 19B.
- There are two people (Lew M and Julian F) who are listed on the Teamless signup sheet for now. They are therefore potentially available if another pair of individuals is interested to join a team. Another possibility is to invite them into open sub spots or to fill vacancies that arise between now and Tuesday’s deadline.
Raffle Status:
- Brian S was the first selection of the new season. He made one on the break. The cue ball and 1-ball were positioned invitingly for a bank shot to the north side pocket. Brian attempted it and missed.
- Julian sank two balls on the break and had great shape on the 2-ball. He chose to follow the easy south side pocket target to set up for a north side 3-ball deposit. It all worked. The setup on the 4-ball was ok and Julian pondered it for awhile. He got into shooting position twice, but finally chose to cash out.
- The remaining pot (still appealing, by the way) rolls over to opening night of the season.
