All scoresheets have been received and updated! Thank you everyone for being so diligent with your makeup matches. You all rock!!!

Congrats to the following patch winners: Conner C (8 WZ) and Sam W (9 BR)!

Next Tues 12/13 is the last week of the Fall Session! We will be having a quick league meeting before the night starts, so please be there a little earlier if possible. Few topics of discussion: Spring session, new team formation, VQT dates & times & setup, misc other updates, and open to any questions.

The following Tues 12/20 will be playoff week for participating teams. Those teams will be announced as soon as we have all the scoresheets entered. As a reminder – playoffs are FREE of charge. Other teams not participating are encouraged to come and support your fellow league members (and still get to practice for free at other tables). Make sure all playoff participants have at least 6 matches in one session on the team in order to participate. Vegas Qualifying Tournament requires 8 matches in one session on the team.

The current pot for the 10 ball B&R is at $3,230.00 with each ball worth $323.00 apiece. At Sloppy Seconds, that is $161.00 per ball. Good luck to the next drawn contestant!

12/06/22

Scoresheets that have been submitted have all been updated. We are still missing a couple, so keep that in mind when looking at current standings. Teams who have not submitted their scoresheets, please do so as soon as possible! We have 2 more weeks of league play left (including tonight). Any scoresheets not submitted without valid reason will be considered as forfeits! Please let us know if you have any issues.

Congrats to the following patch winners: Brett S (8 TR) and Chuck R (8 WZ)!

With the new session right around the corner, we would like to try and continue growing the league. We’ve had 9 teams for the past 2 sessions and at this time, all teams are full up. While that is fantastic, this also leaves no room for new players to join, which is where we stand today. There are a handful of players interested without a team to go to. Therefore, we would like to offer any team member to voluntarily leave their current team and join a brand new 10th team. For your efforts, we will offer free league play after 10 matches played on the new team for one session (so 6 free weeks of play at the end of the session). No worries – we will make sure to fill out all teams as needed the best we can!

The aim of this is twofold:
– 1. This allows the new team to have some established players who know how the league operates without a whole team of newbies scrambling to figure things out on their own; and
– 2. This allows players to become established members of the new team and also qualify for Vegas.

We know that team dynamic is very important. We also know that stagnancy can breed boredom – we would never want that to happen. We hope that by offering the opportunity for volunteers to join a new team, we will have new dynamics to experience. Please reach out to us if you’re interested!

The current pot for the 10 ball B&R is at $3,110.00 with each ball worth $311.00 apiece. At Sloppy Seconds, that is $155.00 per ball. Good luck to the next drawn contestant!

Table assignments for 12/06 (HOME vs AWAY):
Lady & Champs vs Tuff Break – 22 / 23
Stick Em Up vs Night Moves – 15 / 16
Cue Tang Clan vs Shot for Shot – 17 / 18

Pocket Shots – BYE WEEK


11/18/22

Congrats to the following patch winners: Justin G (8 TR) and Michael M (9 SNAP)!

Scoresheets that have been submitted have all been updated. We are still missing a couple due to makeups (previously approved), so keep that in mind when looking at current standings.

Next week is Thanksgiving and we will NOT have league on Tues 11/22. Enjoy your week off and have a Happy Thanksgiving!

The following week 11/29, there will NOT be a 10 ball B&R drawing. It will resume the week after on 12/6.

Playoffs for the Fall Session will take place on Tues 12/20 for teams that are participating. Those teams will be announced as soon as the final scoresheets have been submitted and updated.

Spring 2023 session starts Jan 03. This will count towards qualifications for Vegas in 2024.

This is required on the National level and we have to abide by those rules as well. If you do not know how to check your number of weeks played (this info is provided weekly), please reach out to your team captain first, then contact the league operator for any additional questions.

The current pot is now at $338.00 per ball with last week’s rollover. At Sloppy Seconds, it will be $169.00 apiece. Good luck to the next drawn contestant!

We have updates on the dates & locations for the VQT in January. Please mark these in your calendars! Sat, January 7 – 8 ball @ Slicks Montrose and Sat, January 14 – 9 & 10 ball @ BIGgles.

If you are playing in both locations, be sure to coordinate between the match-ups to ensure there is no holdup.

Another congrats to the lucky drawn contestant for the 10 B&R last week: Reeves! He pocketed one ball off the break and made another shot before taking the winnings. Good thing it was the 1 ball or else it’d be a rollover!
