Summer/Fall 2023 Midseason Captain’s Meeting – Minutes
10 teams attended the meeting with King Pub Timeout and JR Pub Black Hole unable to send a representative. Thank you kindly to Dolce Vita for hosting.
The president welcomed the captains and reminded them of their responsibilities, which are being met spectacularly.
There were a couple of important issues discussed: teams reserving places for the banquet, and dropping personal rating points for doubles tournaments.
- The Banquet: Last season we overpaid the banquet by 666,000 won as only 67 players turned up. This season the Executive Committee would like teams to reserve their places at least a week in advance. Each captain should let the president know how many players from their team will attend the banquet. The captains voted to implement this measure and to reduce the guest payment to 25,000 won. Captains were also reminded that it’s not permitted for non-league members to take the place of a player who isn’t attending the banquet.
- Doubles Tournaments: There was a discussion about the possibility of not using personal ranking points for doubles tournaments. It was suggested that high ranked players were reluctant to play in doubles tournaments for fear of losing points. It was also made known that some lower ranked players don’t want to play for fear of letting the higher ranked players down. It was decided that each captain would canvas their team for the players’ opinion and the issue will be voted on at the organizational meeting next season.
The meeting ended in a peaceable fashion and everyone slunk off into the night, each person reflecting on their life choices which had taken them to this point.

Singles Trophy Tournament - Winners
We had a decent turnout of 25 players that were divided into the Upper (13 players) and Lower (12 players) brackets.
An early evening of high drama, varying degrees of pool skills, and good luck that some would say bordered on divine intervention (I was later referred to as a 'jammy git'), saw the following players come through.
Lower Bracket
1st Place: Dave Pipes (Sam Ryan's Chalk & Awe)
2nd Place: Charlie West (Dolce Vita HoboZ4Lyfe)
3rd Place: Bob Mboge (Bulldog Avengers)
