Dear LAPL Members,
Welcome to our first week of stats for the Los Angeles Pool League. For those of you getting this email for the first time, this will be your primary way of receiving information from our league. This information includes weekly stats, upcoming matches, announcements of upcoming mini tournaments and any other league related business which we may need to communicate.
We are off to a great start with 18 teams this season. We have several new teams and captains. Two of our new teams are from Little Joy a returning sponsor which played in the league for many years and last fielded teams approximately 14 years ago. Little Joy is located at 1477 W. Sunset Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90026 (213)250-3417. The bar has one pool table and the playing conditions are very good. We welcome their two new captains Don and Marc and all the new players from that location to our LAPL family. We also have several teams situated out of Jerry’s Billiards in Pasadena. Jerry’s is located at 1312 N. Lake Avenue, Pasadena, CA 91104 (626) 791-5114. Ran and Xavier are new captains of two of those teams and have also brought several new players on to their teams. We also welcome them all to the LAPL. I also want to give a shout out to our new Women players: Emily on the Little Joy Coyotes Team, Kristin and Bonnie on the Jerry’s Teams.
We also welcome back all of our returning teams from Public House, Eagle, CFrenz, Gold Coast, Trunks and Bar 10. The LA Pool League is fortunate to have long-time sponsors of the league and we are truly grateful for their continued support.
August 27TH Mini 8 Ball Tournament Results: We want to thank all that came out to our 8 ball tournament which was hosted at Jerry’s Billiards on August 27. In total, 20 players signed up and the competition was strong. In the end, Ran Raphael took Fourth Place; Arnell Ferry took third; Al Ballesteros took Second and Jose Torres took first place. We acknowledge that the tournament took a little longer than usual because we were simultaneously holding our 9-Ball League Individual Playoffs.
9-Ball League Finals: First Place went to Gibbi Tkatch, second Place to Ran Raphael and third place to Steve Duckman. Our first place team was the Gold Coast.
Next Mini Tournament: We will hold a 9-Ball Mini Tournament on Sunday, September 10 at Jerry’s Billiards. Sign up will be at 12 noon and play begins at 1:00 p.m.
We hope you have a great season. Until next time, shoot well and have fun.
