Our end of season event capped off our first full post-lockdown season yesterday with great attendance.  We are excited to get back for another full season this September.  One new rule was voted into place, and a rule clarification will be added to our current rules:

The new rule is actually the removal of an old rule.  Our rules used to disallow any new sub from playing in the league during the last six weeks of play to avoid teams bringing in ringers to try to end the season on a high note.  This rule has always caused more confusion than it solved, and it was voted out by the membership.

A clarification to the “pea rule” will be added to the official rules for next season stating that the “pea rule” must be invoked by the 3rd game of the match, and that the “pea game” will always be in the spot of the 4th player.

It was also clarified that the current rules state that any team who is a no show by 8:20pm will forfeit the match.

The current slate of officers was left in place, and the grievance committee gained 2 new members.  The committee is now comprised of Michael Lauta, Lawrence Weisdorn, Oswald Colunga and Matt Weitzman.  The Vice President Angela Aquino is still the tie-breaker vote in cases where necessary.

A scotch doubles tournament was held with the following results:

Although there are still a few makeup matches to be played, first place and top shooter are locked in.  Congratulations to Tuesday Night’s first place team – Banter Bar 3, and the top shooter Joe Pacchanelli!
