Captain’s Log, April 6th, 2008
The 13th Annual APA 8
Ball Southwest Challenge concluded last weekend. San Gabriel Valley came home with their first SWC
Championship after defeating a Las Vegas team in the final match. The top
finishing San Diego team was Andy Friedman, Julie Wisch and Herbert DeLong with
a 5th place finish. A total of 18 San Diego teams cashed in the
tournament! The 9 Ball SWC is slated for September, so if you missed out on the
8 Ball event, there is another one coming up later in the year.
The WPBA
will be at Viejas Casino this week.
Wednesday kicks off the festivities with the very popular Pro-Am event. WPBA
player Melissa “The Dragon
Lady” Herndon was at the Southwest Challenge doing challenge matches and
signing autographs while promoting the San
Diego event. The tournament itself will take place Thursday through Sunday
and includes afternoon and evening rounds. You can buy individual tickets for
afternoon or evening rounds or buy tickets for the entire event at the Viejas
gift shop or through Ticketmaster.
Hope to see you there.
We’ve bumped back the start of
the Triple Play Masters League to April
19th. I never should have scheduled it the week following our return
from the Southwest Challenge. We still have a few teams getting organized and I
wasn’t ready to get it started on April 5th. But, it looks like we will have a
very solid division with lots of really good teams from all over the county.
It’s not too late to put a team in. Grab 3 or 4 friends and form a team.
Triple Play is a Saturday afternoon league that will play basically every other
Saturday. I will be on hand at the Irons
Tournament on April 12th to recruit Masters teams and help find
teams for people who are interested in playing but don’t currently have a team
to play on.
The Iron’s
Tournament is this coming weekend at Players
Sports Bar on Clairemont Mesa Blvd. Doors open and entry fees will be
collected starting at 9:30am. Don’t be late! The entry fee to enter this event
is $10 prior to the day of the tournament and $15 on the day of. All the details
for this event can be found in the tournament forum of the SDAPA
web site message board. It should be a great day to compete in a 9 Ball
tournament and reflect on the good times so many of us shared with our dear
friend Dave Irons.
Time sure flies when you’re
having fun. The Spring Session is quickly coming to a close. The Players Monday
night in-house division is down to 3 weeks of play left for the Spring Session
and cannot add players to the roster at this time. All other divisions have 4
weeks left. This is the last week any team can add players to their rosters (as
long as you don’t have a bye scheduled). Of course, qualified teams are not
allowed to add players to their roster. The Spring Session is the last session
to get qualified for the 2008 City Championships. In the coming weeks, we will
discuss the playoff formats and Blast tournaments, so keep an eye out for this
information.
It is important to note that a
player must have a minimum of 4 matches with the team during the Spring Session
and a minimum of 10 matches in the format they are competing in to be eligible
for City Championships.
Have a great week and Shoot Pool
Good! Brian/Jill/Lindsay
