Los Angeles Pool League

Fall 2023 Season!

Welcome to Season 98 of the Los Angeles Pool League!

We had a great WCC event hosted by Los Angeles  in August.  I want to thank everyone on the board as well as all the players and people who volunteered their time as referees.  I particularly want to thank Cliff Giles, Jr. for being the tournament director and Al Ballesteros for his valuable leadership.  Congratulations to Ran Refael for finishing 3rd and Robert Trucios for finishing 6th. The LA team also made a strong showing taking Long Beach to a second match and almost winning!  The Hi-Lo team also made it to the finals.  

I would like to welcome the new BOG for the Fall 2023 Season:

President – Bryan Haneiwich
Vice President of Fundraising – Arturo Carrillo
Statistician – Jen Tamindzija
Treasurer – Saeromi Kim
Rules and Protest – Al Ballesteros
Playoff Chair – Steve Duckman
Secretary – Jon Bourgault

I personally want to thank each of them for volunteering their time.  Being on the board is never easy, and we all want to help grow and maintain the league. 

We have 10 teams set to go for this season, that means that each team will play every other team once and their sister team twice.  I would like to call out the efforts of Saeromi Kim, who left her team and volunteered as a captain for a team of new players.  She also helped us set up one additional team with several new players. 

We have:
Eagle LA Tuesday 2 teams
Eagle LA Wednesday 2 teams
Jerry’s 1 team
Brickyard Hollywood 2 teams
Brickyard NOHO 1 team
Goldfish 2 teams

Looking at the 2 Wednesday teams above, that does mean most teams will have a Wednesday match, possibly two.  The 2 teams who said they could not play Wednesday were accommodated on the schedule. 

The schedule can be found in the resources box on the main page or under schedule on the stats page.  You may also use this link.

Please remember the league is supposed to be competitive, but fun.  Play nice and have a good time with a sport that we all love. 

Thanks,
Bryan Haneiwich
LAPL President

Here is a note from the Treasurer to Captains:Hello fall season captains,

Thank you for stepping up as captains!  Here is some important dues information.  Thanks to some teams that already paid last week at the players meeting.  Dues may change for next season, but they are the same this year:

Dues are: $260/team.  Please collect and pay by Friday sept 15.  Venmo me at @saeromik.  You can also pay by cash or check, and we can coordinate drop off.  Checks payable to Los Angeles Pool League.

If you have players who are not already in BCA, they need to pay a $20 annual membership. This is only paid once a year.  Please send this with team dues.

Below is a sample text when collecting dues.  Just change the number of players.  I also include the $40 fundraising gifts needed per team at the end of the year but that’s up to you if you want to collect that now.

Thank you!!
Saeromi (Treasurer)

Team dues:
260+40 (fundraising gifts): 300/team or 43 per player for 7 players. That's it for the whole season.  If you are not already a BCA player, you need a membership for $20. This is only paid once a year.  We need to pay team dues plus all BCA memberships by the first week of play. Please Venmo me or bring me cash on Tuesday.
