How do I join the league:
Buzz Poleson is the league director. Contact him at buzz.poleson@gmail.com or at 503-481-0536.
Scoring:
Scoring wheels are on the end rail, where the balls are racked.
When the player is done with their turn at the table they add their score to the running rack wheel.
There are 4 wheels. 2 wheels on the left, and 2 on the right. Normally the outside wheels are your game totals. And the inner wheels are used as the rack totals (rack of 15 balls currently on the table).
(To adjust your rack count after each turn, 1) count the number of balls on the table, 2) add your opponents rack wheel total, then 3) subtract the total of these two from 15 to get your score.)
Logging counting matches:
All match results should be entered using the online Match Scoring form available on this site. The form will work using any computer or mobile device (phone, tablet, etc).
Normally the winner of the match will log the match, but either player can do so.
Contact Bill Bradford at billbradford1@gmail.com or edwardmw@gmail.com if you can't get this to work.
Setting up counting matches:
The player roster of current members is updated frequently on the Roster contacts page of this site. Feel free to contact individuals on the roster to arrange matches. Sometimes there are 14.1 league members upstairs at Sam's during the day. Matches are often arranged in person at Sam's. Don't be shy about asking for a match.
What tables can we play on:
All tables are open to play. Only the 4.5X9 foot tables are used for scoring counting matches. When Sam's is busy, management would like league members to play upstairs. Generally, leave the main floor for paying customers. If Sam's gets very busy wait staff may ask for members to give up their tables for paying customers or require payment for table time from league members. Please be cooperative and polite. Let wait staff know which table you are playing on so they know which tables are still open.
Can I bring a guest:
You can have guests play with you. But guests must pay Sam's regular table time rate. When you check in at the front desk tell them if you have a guest with you.
