Fundraiser Tournament for the Itaewon Pool League
Saturday, January 20th, the Itaewon Pool League will be having a fundraiser tournament to help with league expenses.
Signups at Scrooge Pub from 3:00 to 3:45 pm. The tournament will start as close to 4:00 pm as possible. The tournament will be held at Scrooge Pub and Dolce Vita.
Registration fee is 10,000 won per person, with a one-time buyback of 5,000 won.
There will also be a Calcutta auction, where people bid on which player they think will win the tournament.
There will also be a few raffle prizes to give away.
50% of the registration fees and buyback money collected and 50% of the Calcutta money will be paid out to the respective winners.
The other 50% and money raised by the sale of raffle tickets will go to the Itaewon Pool League in order to help pay league expenses and make it possible to provide money tournaments and top-quality banquets in the future.
We hope that you will come out with the intention of contributing a bit of money to the league.

The Winter/Spring 2018 Season is ON!!!
Thanks to the hard work of Rickie Ball, the schedule has been generated and posted in record time. Next time you see Rickie, give him a big kiss, hug or beer.
As is true every season, Bernard has worked hard to set up the website for this season and upload the schedule for us. Kisses, hugs or beer to him, as well.
We have 23 teams again this season, which is wonderful news. We have a bar re-entering the mix, Upper Deck in Kyunglidan. This is good news after losing Sin Bin last season.
The schedule is posted, and we will begin this Wednesday, January 10.
For your general information, each team has one bye during the season. Byes will be scored as 8 points, with NO WIN BONUS POINT (this is different from last season).
Any forfeits will be scored 10-0, with a win bonus point awarded.
The mid-season captains' meeting will be worth a nice chunk of bonus points - perhaps greater than 10 this season. A lot of teams skipped last season. Shame, shame, shame.
Here is the schedule for the first week:
Bulldog Super Strokers @ JR Pub Pinoy Mafia
Shenanigans Boomtown Rats @ King Pub Seoul
King Pub Super Power @ Scrooge Pub Wonky Triangles
Bull and Barrel Bells Boyz @ Shenanigans Rat Killers
JR Black Hole @ Bulldog Fireballs
JJ's The Pain @ Dolce Vita Sweet Life
Wolfhound Kozels @ JJ's Jumping Jacks
Dolce Vita Money Shot @ Phillies Pheasants
Fat Alberts Scandal @ Upper Deck Double Deckers
Phillies Frigates @ The Hidden Cellar Troublemakers
The Hidden Cellar Cue Tips @ Bull and Barrel Ballisticks
Scrooge Pub Angry Birds have a Bye
Please pay any outstanding team fees as soon as you possibly can. If they are not paid by the 3rd week of the season, your team will forfeit all matches up to that point, so don't delay!
You can contact any league official for bank or payment method details.
Good luck to you all!
