Last night of regular season play
It is hard to believe that Monday, March 19th is our last night of regular season play. March 26th Position Night will be our last night of regular season play. It is crazy how fast time goes. I have to tell each of the captains, “THANK YOU”!!! This has been one of the best, if not the best, seasons ever! We’ve had a lot of great competition and fun. How competitive? We have nine (9) teams that mathematically can come in 3rd and/or 4th place. We’ve held some great tournaments this season including the Turkey Shoot, Holiday Tournament, and more. Our 10-ball break and run pot has been fun and frustrating at the same time. There are still two nights left for someone to crack that pot. We owe the success of our league to our Captains and players! Let’s build on this year and make season even better!

Captain Appreciation Tournament & End of Season Tournament
Our captain appreciation tournament and end of season captain’s meeting will be held at 7pm on April 2nd at the Entersection Bar & Grill. We really want all captains to show up to hear our end of season financial update and to compete in the tournament.

Week 25 Player – Steve Breymeier – PrimeTime

Just know that there were three envelopes with the wrong amount of money in them. We resolved all three, but still had a discrepancy. We apologize in advance for the error.

Oscar Mora – Circle Something practiced the 10-ball break and run for a few hours. Let me tell you, he was making balls and putting together some great runs. Nothing went in on the break when it came down to the money break. Therefore, the pot carries. Captains: please promote the 10-Ball Break and Run progressive pot.

John Megge – Celebration of Life
We just wanted to send thanks to the Rendezvous Lounge crew for hosting John Megge’s celebration. The bartenders and staff went beyond expectations. Plus, their patrons put up with a smoke free day at the Vous! There are a lot of people that deserve a lot of credit for making this happen. Ralph Gibson for getting the word out and collecting monies. Andy & Kay Greathouse and Ashley Marie Delaney for running one of the smoothest tournaments ever run. Ryan Keller for making such a great poster of John for everyone to sign. Thanks to everyone that help setup, bring food, and parked a little farther away. Most importantly, thanks to our pool player community! Last night made us even more proud to be part of a group of people that care for each other as much as we do!

Please remember to hug your friends. You just don’t know when they’ll be called to play that match in the sky!

Q – Can we still use the team entry if we have a player from STNEL on our tournament roster?
A – NO. The team entry fee is specifically for teams with players who compete on Monday Night.

Q – I want to put my own tournament team together, will the league pay our team entry?
A – The captains of our 23 teams have first option on the entries. Meaning, there are no extra entries
paid by Monday Night League if all 23 of our teams compete in the state championships. We will offer
unused team fees to players who put a team together on a first come – first serve basis.

Q – What happens to the team entry fees if we don’t have 23 teams that compete in the state
championships?
A – Those fees will roll over into next season’s budget.

Q- How do I get more information about the 2018 ACS Florida State Championships?
A – Attached is an information flyer. You can also go to www.sunshinestateacs.com or find them on
facebook at facebook.com/sunshinestateacs

Let us know if you have any other questions.

Teams can no longer add players to their rosters!
Please note that you can no longer add players to your roster.

Floating Subs are available for Monday Night League!
We highly encourage captains to utilize our floating subs. Teams must pay their $10 match fee for the
night, but do not need to split their end of year team winnings with them. That is much better than
taking a player forfeit and possible losing valuable round points.
The floating subs are:
Margarita Makeeva – Starting handicap is an 8
Chris Slidell – Starting handicap is a 7
Mike Sambstrum – Starting handicap is a 7.5
Kelvin Yow – Starting handicap is 7.5

10-Ball Break and Run Progressive Pot – $2290 or $229 per legally pocketed ball
Week 19 Player – Paul Trill – Circle Something
Ralph Gibson – Who’s Next had a great break and pocketed the 1-Ball. He did get a look at a long corner
to corner shot on the 2-Ball. He made it and decided two balls were enough. He pocketed $502.
Congratulations to Ralph!!! The good news is the pot is still over $2K and is at $2290 or $229 per legally
pocketed ball. Captains: please promote the 10-Ball Break and Run progressive pot. Please note: All
attempts at the 10-Ball Break and run will be done on Monday Night league nights only. This includes
position rounds.

Please note: We are out of white tickets, but have left over yellow tickets. The captains approved the
league using these tickets. Therefore, tickets in the drawing may be white or yellow.
