Our end of season party will be held at 2pm on Sunday, May 24th 31st. Venue is still pending.
As usual, we will give out awards, nominate and vote on officers, and discuss and vote on any other pending issues. Watch the site for the location. Once the location is decided, an email will go out to the membership as well.
For Tuesday, All teams have paid everything they owe except for Cozy Inn 2 whom I contacted and spoke to in person, so unless they contact me between now and the end of season payout, they will find their envelope short.
For Wednesday, I have not received the score sheet/money from the final week for JPs @ 90 West 3 (JPs responsible for turn-in) and Gabe’s 1 @ Cozy 3 (Gabe’s responsible for turn-in). 90 West 2 is short $10 and 90 West 3 is short a substantial amount as well.
I’m also waiting on a make-up match to be played between JPs and Speakeasy 5. These sheets need to be turned in and the match needs to be played before I can sort the money for Wednesday.
As soon as I have information about the end of season event, I’ll post it here.
Going into the last week, here are the dues still owed. If you think you’re on this list in error, you must contact me ASAP at djmichaelbasic@gmail.com
90 West 1 – $5
90 West 2 – $160
Cozy Inn 2 – $85
Cozy Inn 3 – $30
Scarlet Lady – $95
Speakeasy 5 – $250
For a detailed breakdown of why this money is owed, check the short list by clicking this link. You must either settle up with this week’s score sheet or contact me to discuss other means of payment. If we do not work something out, the money will be taken out of your end of season payout along with appropriate fines.
Apologies for the late posting. Once again Speakeasy 5 did not send in their sheet and held up the updates.
Heading into the final week. I’ve contacted each team who still owes money so there’s no excuse not to get it paid. If it’s not paid by the end of the season (this coming week) you’ll find your end of season payout envelopes lighter than expected. Please check the SHORT LIST to see what you owe!

The end of season party will be held at Gabe’s Bar & Grill: 2965 s. Sepulveda blvd, LA 90025 on Saturday, May 31 at 2pm
__________
There will be:
a meeting for the general membership
Prize Money Payouts
Elections of officers and grievance committee
Tournament
__________
Additionally, as per a decision at the captains meeting, votes will be held on the following rule changes:
—
Current Rules (slop) vs. Call Pocket
If adopted, the Call Pocket rule will be worded as such – In Call Pocket, obvious balls and pockets do not have to be indicated. It is the opponent’s responsibility to ask which ball and pocket if he is unsure of the shot. Bank shots and combination shots are not considered obvious, and care should be taken in calling both the object ball and the intended pocket. When calling the shot, it is NEVER necessary to indicate details such as the number of cushions, banks, kisses, caroms, etc. Any balls pocketed on a foul remain pocketed, regardless of whether they belong to the shooter or the opponent.
—
Scratch On The Break – In The Kitchen (current rules) or Ball In Hand
This rule change would be straight forward, no other change necessary.
—
Scratch while shooting the 8 ball – Loss Of Game (current rules) vs. Ball In Hand
This would only apply to pocketing the cue ball while shooting the 8 ball. If the 8 is pocketed in the wrong pocket, or the cue and 8 go down in the same shot, it would still be a loss of game. This rule would only effect a shot where, when a player is on the 8 ball, he does not sink the 8 ball, but does sink the cue ball.
—
These votes will take place via a paper ballet. Your captains will be emailed the ballot in advance, however, voting ballots will be on hand at the event in case not everybody is able to print theirs out.
We are looking to have a captain’s meeting before the end of season awards party.
The date we are looking at for the party is Sunday, May 25th, so we will likely try and have a captain’s meeting on Sunday the 18th.
Times and locations will be posted here when we confirm them, and an email will be sent to the captains to schedule the captain’s meeting and discuss the agenda.
Watch this space for further info!

Please note that there are only 4 weeks left of play. Rule 21. states the following:
21. No new players can be added during the last 6 weeks of the league season . (Only substitutes listed on the official team roster, submitted by the season’s deadline, or ‘bull pen’ can play). Exceptions can be made only in extenuating circumstances, (i.e. Family emergency) to be judged for validity by the Rules/Grievance Committee.
————————————————
I’m missing the score sheets from the Week 21 Wednesday match between JPs 2 and 90 West 3 (90 West is responsible for turning in the sheet), The week 23 Wednesday Match between 90 West 2 and Gabe’s (Gabes responsible for turning in the sheet) and the Week 24 Wednesday Match between 90 West 2 and JPs 2 (JPs responsible for turning in the sheet.
If missing sheets are not turned in by the end of the season, the visiting team will lose all 16 games and will be responsible for all money for that week. Our rules state:
31. The score sheet & money being turned in on time is vital for proper accounting purposes. Teams that fail to turn in the score sheet & the money on time will be FINED accordingly. 1st offense ($10 fine), 2nd offense ($20 fine), 3rd offense ($20 and forfeiture of 5 games)
I have not enforced this rule, but with all the late score sheets this year (this is the worst year ever, by far) I’m quite tempted.
————————————————
Scarlet Lady owes $105
Cozy Inn owes $50
90 West 1 owes $19
90 West 4 owes $25
Speakeasy 2 owes $55
90 West 2 owes $25
90 West 3 owes $25
Gabes owes $10
Remember that if the season ends before your dues are paid, your team will be fined equal to the amount that you owe. That fine, coupled with the money owed, will be taken out of your teams winnings at the end of season party.

I’m missing the score sheet from the Wednesday match between JPs 2 and 90 West 2. 90 West 2 was the visiting team, responsible for turning in the score sheet.
Please note that Wednesday’s Brennan’s 3 team has changed their location and is now Cozy Inn 3. The schedule and stats pages have been updated accordingly.
There is currently $590 in short dues and fees. If you think your team might owe money, or you are on any team other than Gabe’s or JPs 2, (the only 2 teams which are completely paid up) please click this link to find out how much you owe and get it paid up. Remember that if the season ends before your dues are paid, your team will be fined equal to the amount that you owe. That fine, coupled with the money owed, will be taken out of your teams winnings at the end of season party.

Here you’ll find info on what’s been updated for the new season. If it isn’t listed here as having been updated, it is either blank or contains last year’s info.
It might be a week or so before the schedule and first week’s scores are uploaded to the website. Because this season requires 3 rounds of play and 4 rounds of play for Tuesday and Wednesday respectively, and the software we use to input scores is only designed to handle 2 rounds of play, a work around must be conceived, which might cause a delay in the initial posting of stats and other info.
The Fines, Fees, and Payouts link has not changed, but it is a good idea to give it a read to remind yourselves what fees are owed and when they should be paid.
The Captain’s List has been updated for the new season. If you are on that list and you are not the captain of your team, please email mike at djmichaelbasic@gmail.com and let me know who your team’s captain is, as well as their phone number (cell preferred) and email address.
There have been no rule changes so the Rules link is still valid.
The Grievance Committee page has been updated.
The 2012 Season has been moved into the archives, which can be found by following the Past Seasons link.
The Payout Scale link has been updated to include a payout scale for 7 teams.
There are no new Locations to add so this link is still valid.
The Bullpen link has now been updated. If you know anyone who would like to be added to the list to sub on Tuesday, Wednesday, or both, please have them email me with their name and phone number (djmichaelbasic@gmail.com.)
The end of season party will be held at Gabe”s – 2965 S. Sepulveda Blvd – on Saturday April 6th at 2pm. There will be food, prize money payouts, and a double elimination tournament (scotch doubles if we have enough entries.)
We will also vote on some league business, so team captains, if you can”t attend, try to get at least one of your teammates there so all teams are represented.
