Back in the Saddle…..

Well, I think I’m finally back.  I was on vacation for the past two weeks.  So this should get back to normal.  Sorry about the packets for some teams did not make it last week, Kevin worked his butt off to try and make everything happen; Thanks Kevin for all your hard work!

It has been brought to my attention that at the Point After there is a disparity with respect to the tables.  Although the HOME Team should always have the home advantage (selection of tables to play on), at the Point After, we have 2 HOME teams vying for the first two tables.  A simple coin flip should solve the conflict, with the winner picking the two tables they wish to play on.  A side note to this is; I spoke to Bob Wiener, owner of the Pont After, about getting a light installed above the back table.  He said he would secure one ASAP.

All BCA fees are now collected for the starting members.  We need to advise new players wanting to join teams that they need to pay their BCA fees within the first 3 weeks of playing their first night.  As always, collecting the CVPPA League fees of $10 and the weekly Dues of $10 are required the FIRST night of play, no exceptions.  If the Player does not pay their CVPPA League fees, the scores will not count.

Sorry to all about the late posting of Stats from last week.  Kevin and I are still working out some bugs in our scorekeeping system. 

Lastly, I would like to see all of you at the 2nd Annual Desert 9-Ball Classic Tournament being held this upcoming weekend (Nov 3 & 4) at Neil’s Lounge.  It’s a $50 buy-in with $1000 ADDED prize money, Double elimination, Race to 9 Winners, Race to 6 Losers Brackets, Winner Breaks.  We have players coming from all over So. Cal to play in this event.  If you don’t want to play come root on your favorite player.  It should prove to be a GREAT weekend of pool playing!

Home Team Captains, please remember to drop your completed score sheets and envelops off at either OUTPOST or ROBBIE T’s at nights end.

Good Shooting Everyone!  ..db..

Tips to Improve Your Game

To help improve the overall games of all our players I try to solicit the input of our better players to provide Tips.  Unfortunately none have participated so I again look toward the Mid Atlantic Billiards Network mabn.com to provide this information.


Set the object ball 1/2 inch off of the rail and the cue ball 1/2 off the rail. Try for a perfect kill shot. Neither ball should touch the rail after contact. Next try to get the cue ball to follow the object ball into the corner pocket. Again neither ball should touch a rail. Finally, draw the cue back to the corner pocket.—GoodLuck!
