I made it back. I was tempted to stay in New York with the pool league revenue, but am guessing the money would only have covered a few meals in the Big Apple. I want to thank Peder for filling in. I doubt anyone was happier than him to see me back.

The spring 2008 pool season for both 8-Ball and 9-Ball are now history. All that remains before the season is officially laid to rest is the season-ending singles tournaments for each. The venue for both will be the BALL IN HAND at Times Square. The starting time will be 2:00 PM, but I am asking everyone to please show up by 1:00 PM so that we can have ample time to work the draw. The balance of the league revenue will be spent on door prizes for the event, I am asking the participating bars to donate a door prize, and anticipate having close to 100 giveaways for each. All trophies and awards will be given out at the event. As always I expect them to be a fitting end to the season, as much of a party as a pool tournament

Based on past experience, I am expecting upwards of 200 people to attend each, so it should be a blast. Please try to make it. If someone knows with absolute certainty that they will be there but can not make it in time for the draw, please let me know and I will accommodate you. Participation is open to EVERYONE who has played in the league this past season, regardless of record or number of games played. People that played only in 8-Ball are invited to join in at 9-Ball, and vica versa.

The 8-BALL SINGLES TOURNAMENT will be on Saturday, June 14th. The 9-BALL SINGLES TOURNAMENT will be the following week, on June 21st.
