Los Angeles Pool League

Dear LAPL Members,

Congratulations to Mike Harris who won the 9-Ball Tournament at Trunks this past weekend. In second place was Steve King. MIke was undefeated in the tournament. Al Ballesteros was third and Gary Strait was fourth. We appreciate everyone that came out to participate in this fundraiser.  There were also several new players that came out and it was great to see them at the event.  

 

 

"Betting on the Captain" - This Sunday, 9/25 @ Trunks

Note:  The format was REVISED as of Sep 17.  Since we are trying something new this time, we are making some adjustments to the tournament format that's different than the previous email. 

Please read carefully for our next Fundraising tournament "Betting on the Captain"
Fundraising tournament date: Sunday 9/25/2016. 
Registration time: Noon - 1:00pm
Venue: Trunks Bar. 
Player entree fee: $15/player

Qualification: Current captains and co-captains only.  Each team can be represented by the captain or one co-captain or both.  A team that is represented by both the captain and one co-captain would have a better chance to win the match because they have two players in the tournament. However, they will also run into the chance of playing each other also and eliminating each other.  

Format:  Single player. 8 ball. Double elimination. Race to 3 on winner side. Race to 2 on loser side.
Shock clock: 1 minute will be enforced. 
Bidding period: 9/18/2016 - 9/25/2016
Bidding format: Teammates can bid whatever amount on their own team only, bidding on the co-captain and bidding on the captain are considered just one single bid for their team. (If the co-captain or the captain of a team wins the tournament, the team will get the payout.)
Payout: #1 team. 
Payout amount: Maximum is total team bid X 2. (The rest of the bid pool will go to the LAPL.)
Timeout: Four 1-minute timeouts per match to get advice from his/her teammates.
