Week Two

Hope you're all doing great.

We had a very well-attended Lucky Draw Tournament this past Sunday, February 8 at Trunks. All in all, 26 players were paired in teams of two with First Place going to Russ Pepin and Justin Yau and Tod Davenport and Saeromi Kim took Second Place. The Third Place team was Rick Ayres and Jose Torres followed by Jefferson Javier and James Prather for Fourth Place. The competition was very high at this tournament and the above winning and placing teams played very good pool. Thank you to all those who attended and to our sponsor Trunks.

This Tuesday, February 17 is Fat Tuesday and our sponsor Trunks is not able to accommodate play that night. Therefore, it is being requested that the affected teams (Rick A. vs Brad C., Front Table; and Al B. vs. Darren K., Back Table) reschedule their games. We ask that the aforementioned captains coordinate to play their team matches on a different night next week.

We would like to remind players to mark their calendars for our next fundraiser and 9-Ball Tournament which will be held on Sunday, February 22 at 12 noon at Trunks. We encourage you to come out and participate in the tournaments as these are a great way to improve your game while at the same time socialize with friends and support the league.

Finally, I would like to extend a thank you to Julian who introduced a new way to conduct our 50/50 raffles. So far, this new raffle format has yielded improved results in overall funds raised while at the same time adding fun to it and decreasing downtime. Thank you Julian.
