Last night was the last week of Summer session. Next Tuesday 08/22/23 is an off week, so enjoy yourself! Fall session picks back up the following Tues 08/29/23. If there are any team roster changes, please let us know ASAP!
Recapping what was discussed in the league meeting last night:
- Fall Session is the last chance for players to qualify for VQT & Nationals.
- Qualification is 8 matches played in each format in at least one session this year
- Nationals will be done differently in 2024 Vegas, going from a traditional double elimination to a 2 stage format
- This guarantees 5 matches played without going 2 and out
- Teams will play 5 different randomized match-ups in race format (handicap will be calculated according to Fargo Rate)
- Points earned at the end of the 5 match-ups will determine if team moves on to stage 2 (top 40% advances)
- Stage 2 is single elimination
**NOTE: Our VQT in January will still be done in traditional double elimination format.
The League Questionnaire/Poll is now up. We would like to get everyone’s feedback, so please respond and participate in the survey!
Last night’s lucky drawn contestant was ANDREA H! She pocketed one ball off the break and did not want to risk the next shot, walking away with $855.00! Congratulations!
The 10 ball B&R is currently at $838.00 per ball, which Sloppy Seconds of $419.00 per ball. Our next drawing will take place the first week of Fall Session on 08/29! Best of luck to the next drawn contestant.

Unfortunately, we won’t have all the tables completed for the end of our Summer session. However, the majority of the tables should be fixed by Tuesday night, just in time for the beginning of Fall session!
