Captain’s Log, June 10th, 2007 

Congratulations SDAPA 8 Ball National Qualifiers! 5 teams will be packing their bags in August to compete in the 2007 APA 8 Ball National Championships. We ran 5 separate boards with approximately 13 teams on each board, with the lone remaining team on each board qualifying for the National Team Championships. Each board featured the top teams in the county each trying to win 3 out of 5 matches to make it to the next round. Here is a list of our winners: 

Cavanaugh’s Lucky 8 (North Bar, Escondido)- Captain Dan Shiery, Hector Rosales, Estela Rosales, Mark Shiery, Jorge Nolasco, Jose Bonilla, Ryan Vester and Carol Iversen. 

Pocket Gophers (Nice Rack, El Cajon)- Captain Howard Leggett, Frank Vachlin, Nicholas Wageman, Timothy Houser, Dave Thomas, Leo Gonzales, Neal Goforth and Dave Hayden. 

Unforeseen Karma (Hungry Stick, San Diego)- Captain Paul Langley, Jamie Langley, Dee Paxton, Shannon Deitering, Ruth Summers, Zhi-Ren Liang, Jacqueline Mather-Hill and Pam McPhail. 

Lightning Strikes (Five Points, Escondido)- Captain Paul Caputo, Dee Shelton, Susan DeAmicis, Jimmy Langston, Pete Simon, Alison Heffernan, Carey Ashmore and Steve Boyden.  

Sticky Bunz (Players Sports Bar, San Diego)- Captain Jamie Langley, Brandy Dietrich, Ruth Summers, Charyse Rose, Tony Witty, John Pasquarella, Kris Powers and Dave Callow.  

Our sincerest congratulations to each team. We would also like to thank the Hungry Stick for giving us a location to do this event. Big thanks also to all of the referees that helped out this weekend. I can only recall one match that actually went into Sudden Death. You all did an outstanding job of keeping play moving, which contributed to such a successful weekend.  

We will report the winners of the 9 Ball City Championships next week.  

Sunday divisions will be off next week. Happy Father’s Day!  

This is week #4 for Monday divisions. All unpaid members will be dropped from your roster at the end of this week. You may still add players to your roster, but if they are new, they must pay membership fees before they play. APA does not allow unpaid members to be on rosters after the 4^th week of a session. 

The Triple Play Masters Division has finished up for the Spring Session. Nite Owl #4 finished in 1^st place by 15 points in a 14 week session. Nite Owl #4 is Captain Marshall Chambers, Jeff Brauer, Gene Cardenez and Ian Porciancula. Congratulations guys! 8 teams competed in the Triple Play Masters Division last session. Each team competing in the Triple Play Masters Division receives money based on finish. Nite Owl #4 is receiving $650 for their fantastic finish.  

The next Triple Play Masters Division is set to begin July 7^th. We are looking for more teams to compete in this exciting and fast paced format. Triple Play Masters features 8 ball and 9 ball games with 3 players competing each week in a match. While this is a Saturday afternoon league, the schedule is very flexible. There is no handicap limit in this format. Contact the league office if you are interested in giving this league a try. 

Have a great week and Shoot Pool Good!      Brian/Jill/Lindsay      619-303-0183         sandiegoapa@cox.net    sdapajill@cox.net        sdapalindsay@cox.net         Office Hours: 9am-7:30pm  daily        www.sdapa.com
