The Spring 2009 season came to an end last week with the week 14 games. In terms of competitiveness, this was probably the league's best season. In 9-Ball, 2 divisions will have to be sorted out by a play-off. Flaming Moe's and Moonshine will meet on Monday at Metro Bar to determine the Championship of the Green Division. The Silver Dollar and Sport Corner will meet at The Sportsman on Wednesday to do the same for the Tan Division. SINGLES TOURNAMENTS- The 8-Ball Season will officially end at the Singles Tournament, and I want to remind everyone that all are invited. Those that only played 9-Ball are welcome to join in. The venue is The Ball In Hand on Soi 4. They will be open at 11:00 AM, and the tables will be free for practice. The Tournament is expected to get underway at 2:00 PM, and we will try to accommodate everyone in the draw. There will be a free food buffet, and people will be responsible only for their own bar tabs. I expect roughly 100 door prizes to be given out. It has been a great season, and it is only fitting that it end with a great party. FINAL STANDINGS 8-BALL Red Division- The Players (19 points) gets the Championship. The Runner-up goes to Oasis 1 (16 points). Blue Division- Oasis 2A (21 points) gets the Championship. The Old Other Office (13 points) gets the runner-up. Green Division- Sport 20-2 (19 points) pulled off a draw against Hideaway in week 14 to secure the Championship. The Pickled Liver (18 points) will be runner-up. Tan Division- Sports Corner B (21 points) won its last 2 matches to win the Championship by a narrow margin over runner-up Cho Cho Bar B (20 points). 9-BALL Red Division- The Players, 10-2, wins the Championship. Oasis 1, at 9-3, will get the runner up. Blue Division- The Corner Bar, 11-1, will get the Championship. Det 5, at 9-3, will get the runner-up. Green Dvision- The four way tie has dwindled down to two. Flaming Moe's and Moonshine will meet on Monday at Metro Bar to decide who gets the Championship and who gets runner-up. Tan Division- The 3-way tie became 2 last week when The Green Room was able to pull off the upset over On's Place. The Silver Dollar and Sport Corner will meet on Wednesday at The Sportsman in Washington Square to determine who gets the Championship and who gets the runner-up.

Most of the scores for week 13 are in, and the site has been updated despite a few missing results. While many races are set, there are a few that will not be decided until next week. A few playoff games are likely to sort things out between some teams with identical records. Trophies will be awarded at the Singles Tournaments. The venue will be The Ball In Hand in Sukhumvit, Soi 4. The 8-Ball Singles Tournament will be on Saturday, June 13th, and the 9-Ball Tournament will be on Saturday, June 20th. The league is expected to start up again in mid-August. Parties: There are 3 parties going on this saturday, and I thought I would pass the information along to anyone looking for some festivity. Olive Oyl: Nick and Ying are celebrating the 3rd anniversary of Olive Oyl. There will be a free food buffet, and all are welcome. Moonshine: Mitch and Wassana will be celebrating the 6th anniversary of the bar. There will be a free food buffet, music, and all are invited. Metro Bar: Henning will be celebrating his Birthday at Metro Bar. The party starts at 8:00. There will be a free food buffet and free pool. 8-BALL Red Division: Despite the first blemish on their record at the hands of Hillary Bar last week, The Players will once again be the Divisional Champion. Oasis 1 has a lock on the runner-up trophy. Blue Division: Oasis 2A has already clinched the Championship. The Runner-up Trophy is between Old Other Office and newcomer Jersey Pub. Green Division: Week 14 will sort out both 1st and 2nd place in this division. Sport 22, with 18 points, is in control. They will be playing their 1st home game on their new table in their re-modeled bar on Monday, and the opponent will be Jack's Hideaway team. It will no doubt be a fitting end to their seasons. The Pickled Liver, 16 points, will be pulling for Hideaway, while trying to take care of business at home against Bully Pub. Legends, 15 points, will be playing host to Flaming Moe's and pulling for Bully Pub. Tan Division: The battle here is still between Cho Cho Bar B and Sports Corner B. Cho Cho Bar B has 20 points, but will be playing an interdivisional match next week. Sports Corner B, 17 points, has 2 matches left 9-BALL Red Division: Players, at 10-1 is uncatchable for the title. Oasis 1, 9-3, has 2nd place sewn up. Blue Division: Corner Bar, 10-1, locked up the Championship in week 13. Det 5, 7-3, is in the drivers seat for 2nd place and only needs to win 1 in their 2 remaining games to avoid a playoff with Hideaway Jack, 7-5. Corner Bar will be hosting Det 5 in week 14 in a match that will see Corner Bar attempt to avenge their only loss this season. A win by Sport 22 could also bring them into contention for 2nd. Green Division: This division has been tight all season, and a playoff now seems inevitible. Powelly's will be hosting Flaming Moe's on wednesday. Both teams are 7-4, and the winner will be headed into a playoff with Moonshine. Moonshine played at Popeyes last week in a great match that just had to go to 21-20. My kudos to the Popeye side for a great night. Tan Division: The Silver Dollar, 8-4, has the lead at the moment, but they have an interdivisional next week. On's Place, 7-4, can force a playoff with a draw if they win in week 14. The Sports Corner, 6-4, can make it a 3some if they win both of their remaining games.
