Sorry for the delay in making this first post of the season, but I wanted to be able to say that everything is now in place.  After several bugs, mistakes, typos and formulaic meltdowns, the standings can now be loaded in.  Please have a look.  There might be a few minor glitches, but it will eventually be all sorted out. Please note also that the players stats are only being done in 8-Ball.

Scoresheets: Please try to get the 8-Ball scoresheets in to me as soon as possible so that this site can be updated by the weekend.  All I need in 9-Ball is the final team score.

Interdivisional Matches:  Please note that the Interdivisional matches are NOT being counted in the standings this season.  The competitive disparity in the matches was too great to be done fairly.  Play the matches and have fun with it.

Teams:  There are 28 8-Ball teams and 28 9-Ball teams this season.  Several prospective teams wanted in, but could not give me a firm committment until after the start-up deadline.

Match Formats:  8-Ball is being played in the same format as in the past.   9-Ball is being played using a new format.  I have been receiving a lot of comments, both pro and con, from people regarding their preferences.  We are locked into this for this season.  I will prepare a questionaire to be handed out at the season-ending Singles Tournaments, in which everyone will be able to state their feelings after having played an entire season.  The results will indicate how we will likely proceed in the future.

THANK YOU:  This first post cannot be complete until I properly thank those people that stepped up to make the season happen.  The Pool Committee did a great job this season of coming together and giving me the help I needed.  The meetings were intelligent, spirited, and a fine example of putting function over consumption, at least temporarily.  The committee conists of Henning & Keith (Ball In Hand), Jack (Hideaway), John (Corner bar), Long (Hillary Bar), Neil (Happiness/Sport 22), Nick (Popeyes), Paul (Det 5), Peder (Moonshine), and Steve (Cho Cho Bar).  Linkka is currently charging his batteries back in Finland, and Petri is still going native up in Khon Kaen, but their contributions are not forgotten.  I would also like to thank Steve (Moonshine) and Jane (Crazy Hot) for providing help with the stats.  Last, but certainly not least, I want to Thank Will for his continuing invaluable contributions.  This site is really his baby, and he is the one who usually has to deal with the dirty diapers.  The baby is doing fine.
