 Welcome back pool players. Its been a short summer. We gained a team this year lets welcome Royal 3 .This year money will be $5 per player for a total of $40 per team per night. 2 twenties would be nice. Envelopes will be dropped off at Jacks Teepee  on the night of pool. Bars will pay their $50 entry fee when it is convenient. This year we will start at 7:00 pm. If a team fails to show up by 7:15 (regular time, not bar time) then they shall forfeit. Lets make sure we get started by at least 7:15. At the meeting we decided that we will try Rack your own Break this year. Other leagues like it and no one can bitch about bad racks. Also we added a safety rule. Its not much different than it was before (calling the wrong pocket). A player calls safe . He must get a legal hit or Ball in Hand rules apply and cannot shoot again no matter what the outcome. Good luck to everyone. Lets have a good year.
