Pocono Tavern Pool League

Well, the season is officially over!  Congratulations to DOC’S 1, League Grand Champions, and BROOKSIDE 1, Division Champions!  Great job!!!!  And a congratulations to ALL the teams in the league!  Thank you for making this, yet again, a terrific season.  Don’t forget, team baskets are due to Ruthy by June 1st and tickets are on sale for the picnic, which is SATURDAY, JUNE 23rd at Blanche Price Park.  Tickets are available through Marni or Stan, and are also available at The Pet Pantry, Route 940 in Pocono Summit during normal business hours.  Hope to see EVERYONE there!

We are also wishing Stan a speedy recovery after his shoulder surgery! Hope you’re feeling better soon!

Yogi is on the lookout for team pic-a-nic baskets.  They need to be turned in by June 1st.  If your team wishes not to do a basket but instead have one made for them, please contact Ruthy as soon as possible.  It is a $45 fee to have the baskets made for you.

for those that are making baskets, please get in contact with Ruthy in regards to dropping them off with her.

Ruthy can be reached at 570-977-0196

There have been some questions concerning the 4 teams that did not play 300 games.  In every instance, there were “double forfeits”; In other words, neither team had 5 players available per set.  It has always been the league’s stance that since NO GAME was played, and no player was available, we can not issue a win nor a loss for that particular game.  Therefore, these teams will not have their averages based on 300 games because 300 games were not played.  Instead, in order to get their “true average”,  their statistics are based upon the ACTUAL number of matches played.  To account for this any other way would alter their team average in an unfair way to both the individual team as well as the rest of the league.

As for “opposed forfeits”, or when one team has enough shooters and the other team doesn’t, the forfeit is a loss for the team without enough players, a win for the opponent and it DOES factor into the team average, as well as the average of the individual named to play against the “forfeit”. This was discussed and voted on during our initial 2011-2012 season meeting.

I hope this addresses any concerns.  Should you have any additional question, please feel free to contact Marni directly.  Should any member have a suggestion about changing these rules, please feel free to attend our “rules meeting”, which will be scheduled sometime in August 2012.

Thank you!
