Captains Log -

1.16 DISPUTES - Should a dispute occur during a match, it should be resolved by both team captains. All players must honor an opposing team captain’s request that play be halted while he/she checks or verifies any rule in question. Failure to honor such a request constitutes unsportsmanlike conduct and possible loss of game. Disputes not resolved by the team captains will be referred to the Vice President for disposition. Any game in dispute should be completed and the legend “disputed game” placed alongside the game results on the score sheet. A description of the reasons for the dispute should be written on the back of the original score sheet (top copy).

1.17 INTERFERENCE - To allow maximum freedom of movement to the shooter and to avoid the appearance of anyone offering unsolicited advice, only the shooter is permitted at the table while a game is in progress. If someone physically interferes with a player in the process of shooting and causes the balls to be displaced, both the shooter and the opposing player must agree upon playing the table in position or returning the balls to their original positions. If no agreement can be reached the game must be replayed. 1.11.1 – An error in the break order must be challenged, prior to the break shot of that game. Otherwise the results of that game will stand.

1.4 CUE STICK REQUIREMENTS
1. Your cue sticks must meet BCA Equipment Specifications excerpted below.

BCA POOL CUE SPECIFICATIONS:
Width of tip: No minimum/14 mm maximum Weight: No minimum/25 oz. maximum Length: 40 inches minimum/no maximum

The cue tip may not be of a material that can scratch or damage the addressed ball.

The ferrule, if of a metal material, may not be more than 1 inch in length.

2. If you use an illegal cue stick it is a foul, and the illegal cue stick must be removed from play. An unsportsmanlike conduct warning must be issued; a second violation results in loss of game; a third violation results in loss of match.

Dan Jackson -

It's with a sad heart that I have to inform the league that we have lost one of our own. Dan Jackson (Pecs team) passed away Saturday.
Dan was a man with a huge smile and bigger heart. RIP my friend, I'll miss playing pool and laughing with you.

Bylaw 7.3.1 TIES – At the end of the season, team and individual ties or seedings will be decided by first reviewing the first half of the season and giving the tie to the team or person who won when playing each other in the first half. If the team split the score 8‐8, the scores from the second half of the season will be reviewed for which team has more wins. In the event that the score is still split the Board will decide a tiebreaker (i.e. – play of a game or coin toss). If the individuals did not play each other in the first half, the tie will go to whoever won in the second half. If both individuals did not play each other at all during the entire season the Board will decide a tiebreaker (i.e. play of game, coin toss or number of wins in the first or second half of the season).

Captains please make sure both Captains are aware that the 2 minutes Coaching Time Out rule applies during regular season play. The Watcher of the table should announce the ’30 seconds’ and ‘15 seconds’ marks to assist in coaching ending on time.
