With 2 weeks left in the Spring season, a surprising number of races are still alive in both 8-Ball and 9-Ball. The next two weeks should produce some interesting late-season drama. 

I will hold off until tomorrow (Saturday) to update the site in the hope that some of the missing scores and scoresheets will appear.

8-BALL

Red Division:  

Players (17 points) is enjoying a 3 point lead, but it is not over yet.  They have to survive a visit from Hillary bar (11 points) in week 13, who put the first blemish in their record.  Oasis 1 (14 points) plays host to  Pool 13 (11 points) in week 13.  If Oasis 1 wins and The Players lose, they will have to pull for Pool 13 the following week in their home  match against Players to force a playoff.  Hillary Bar and Pool 13 are both still alive for 2nd place.

Blue Division: 

Oasis 2A (17 points) has sewn up the Championship already, but pride will be on the line when they face 3rd place Old Other Office in week 13 and 2nd place Jersey Pub in week 14.  2nd place is still wide open, with Jersey Pub (11 points), Old Other Office (10 points), Roadhouse (10 points), Moonshine (9-points), and Sports Corner A (8-points)  still in contention.

Green Division:

Sports 22 (18 points) has already secured at least a tie for the Championship.  They have only one remaining match, though, and it is with nemesis Hideaway.  The role of "spoiler" will undoubtedly put a smile on Jack's face, as well as that of the local Jaegermeister distributor.  The Pickled Liver (14 points) could force a playoff if Sport 22 falters and they can win their remaining 2 games.  Legends (13 points), formerly Harrys bar, is sitting just behind, and could take 2nd if The Pickled Liver does not take care of business.

Tan Division:

Cho Cho Bar B (18 points) is sitting on the lead at the moment, but only has 1 match left.  Sports Corner B (17 points) has 2 matches left.  If they can win both, they will win the division.   The 2 have been neck and neck since the start of the season, and will both receive trophies.

9-BALL

Red Division:

The Players (10-0) has an un-catchable lead for the division title.   Oasis 1 (8-3) with one match left, and Pool 13 (6-4) with 2 matches left, will be vying for 2nd place.

Blue Division:

Corner Bar (9-1) has a nice lead with 2 matches left, but Det 5 (6-3), with 3 matches left, can still tie them and force a playoff.  The two will go head-to-head in week 14, in a match that could decide things, but Det 5 will still need some help from Crystal Lounge in week 13.  Hideaway Jack (7-4) and Sport 22 (6-4) are still in the running for 2nd place, and will keep the pressure on Det 5 for 2nd place. Corner Bar was pushed to the limit last week by Sport 22, but regrouped when they were down 19-17 to win 4 in a row.  It should not get any easier for them.

Green Division:

This division has been tight all season, and it would appear that a playoff is likely.  Moonshine (7-4) only has 1 match left, while Popeyes, Flaming Moe's and Powelly's, all at 6-4, have 2 left.  If all four could win out, it would be a 4 way tie for the Championship.  Not possible, though.  Moonshine visits Popeyes in week 13, and Flaming Moe's visits Powelly's in Week 14.  The winners of those 2 matches look to be playoff bound, unless Salute and/or Butterfly play "spoiler".  Most of the matches have been really close.  Moonshine had to pull off a 21-20 home win against Flaming Moe's last week to force the issue, and it is unlikely to get any easier for any of the 4 teams vying for the title.

Tan Division:

Silver Dollar (7-4) is currently in front, but On's Place (6-4)  beat them last week to open things up a bit.  Olive Oyl (5-5) and Sports Corner (5-4) are still alive for the title, while Sports bar (4-5) and The Sportsman (4-5) are still alive for 2nd.
