We have updated the scores that are available to us. There are a few not submitted and we will update them once received. Congrats to the following patch winners: Doug G (8 TR), Ricardo D (8 WZ), and Fenil G (9 BR)!We will be reinstating bonus points starting next week Tue (02/06/24). 50 points for matching scoresheets to opponent’s and 50 points for payment received at the end of league night. This comes out to 100 possible bonus points per format. They do add up at the end of the session! It will be even more crucial as bonus points WILL count towards WILD CARD determination (details to be announced this coming Tuesday)!
This past Tuesday was the first week of running 2 locations on the same night. All in all, things ran pretty smoothly and we thank everyone for being understanding and working with us through this transition. As the schedule progresses, you can expect that at least one of us will be at each location, ending the evening with both of us at the same location to close out the night. The 10 ball B&R will extend to both locations to keep things fair to all players. Tickets will be sold in one location and drawn at the other location. Videos will still be taken and the drawn ticket(s) will be announced so both locations can be made aware simultaneously.
This past Tuesday’s lucky winner was MJ, who pocketed one ball off the break during the Sloppy Seconds drawing, taking home $501.00 for his effort. Congratulations!
This brings the 10 ball B&R to $998.00 per ball, making Sloppy Seconds $499.00 apiece. Good luck to the next drawn contestant!
