Congratulations to the winners and all players who participated and represented their divisions. SPRING SESSION We have started out 2004 with growth due to new areas and teams getting a 2nd team out of their bar to keep the bar full on the night of play. Many players are now opting to play more than 1 night a week. This only increases the chances of winning at the tri-cup and getting a chance to go to Vegas. Thank you to everyone who has helped grow the league. We appreciate the support you are giving to the league. Special mention should go to the White Horse Saloon. It has grown from 3 to 6 teams and has added 2 new tables in one session! Dolly knows the benefits of league play in her bar at night. 39 captains will be receiving free cues this session. Richard delivered the first cues to Newark last night and will be working to get cues out around the league in the next few weeks. Please be patient, there are a lot of teams to get to. We have added the "weekly survey" on the back of scoresheets. This survey will be used by the league office on a weekly basis. Skill levels will not be determined by one team's complaints, but will be monitored to see if other teams have the same opinion and will be acted upon accordingly. If sandbagging is happening to keep or lower a skill level, make sure that is noted on the scoresheets. The sandbagger may be surprised to see the skill level never go down, but may be only be benefiting the opposing player. Thanks for your input.
MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS: Prior to a new session, if you as the captain or the entire team would like to either play or not play in a certain division, this must be stated BEFORE schedules are done. It would eliminate schedule changes after the fact, causing problems to your own and other teams. Many times the request can't be honored regardless. Please don't rely on us to remember that you can't play in a certain division. Thanks for your consideration.
WEB SITE: In case of severe weather, players who have e-mail addresses will be sent an e-mail regarding postponing play for the evening. It will also be posted on the website. This will only happen if a Level 3 is issued. Otherwise, please plan to play as scheduled. We are having problems with the top gun report and if anyone notices anything wrong, please inform the league office immediately. Please use the website to print off information that you may want. There should be at least one player on each team who has access to the website. If there are no players on your team who have access to the internet, please let us know. We will then mail the necessary reports to you with your scoresheets.
PERSONAL NOTES: BIRTHS: Tom and Stephanie Simpkins had a baby boy, Colin Robert, on January 27, 2004. Everyone is doing fine. Congratulations to the parents.DEATHS: Dolever "Buck" Slone passed away Monday, January 26. He has been with the APA since 1988 and will be missed by all. Our condolences go out to his wife, Sally, and family.
