Playoffs Round 1 and End of Season Doubles
The first round of the IPL Winter/Spring 2016 Playoffs begins this weekend with some enticing match-ups in what promises to be an extravaganza of potting power. (I hope I haven't over-hyped it too much and you can now all live up to it)
The fixtures are as follows:
Championship A
Scrooge Pub Wonky Triangles @ JR Pub All Stars
3 Alley Seoul Misfits @ Shenanigans Boomtown Rats
Bulldog Estyle @ Sin Bin Potato
Scrooge Pub Phoenix @ Dolce Vita Angry Birds

Good luck to all involved
Saturday witnessed the final doubles tournament of the season and 26 people put themselves forward for honour, glory and possibility of making new friends. There is always a great atmosphere at these tournaments and those present were proud to watch the rebirth of Lenny Erickson as a force to be reckoned with and witness the emergence of a man who is determined to collect as many trophies as possible this season, namely Ahmed Khan. They defeated the stern challenges of Nick Miller & Kevin Gamad who in turn, rather fortuitously, beat Dominic Johnson & Paulino Torrico. Thanks to all those who help out in the running of the tournament, especially Lenny, Ronan and Mark. Trophies will be presented at the banquet.
1st Place: Lenny Erickson (Shenanigans Boomtown Rats) & Ahmed Khan (JR Pub All Stars)
2nd Place: Nick Miller (Sin Bin Potato) & Kevin Gamad (Bulldog Estyle)
3rd Place: Paulino Torrico (Bulldog Estyle) & Dominic Johnson (Sin Bin Potato)
In addition to all the fun and games at the tournament special congratulations go to Justin 'Mantis' Kim, who won a new Seybert's cue courtesy of the special raffle organised by the IPL and Paul Riddle.

End of Season Doubles Trophy Tournament
This Saturday, June 4th, sees the End of Season Doubles Trophy Tournament being played at Bulldog & JR BBQ. Sign ups will be in Bulldog from 3pm. Play will start as close to 4pm as humanly possible.
Entry is free to all players who have competed in at least 5 separate matches this season and each player will be randomly paired with a partner. We will partner a higher ranked player with a lower ranked one to avoid mismatches.
There will be raffle at the start of the tournament as Paul Riddle is, rather generously, giving us the chance to win a brand new cue, leather case and a box of chalk (worth a combined total of $300) from Seyberts. You can purchase tickets for the raffle tomorrow night from a member of the executive committee or before the tournament on Saturday. Tickets will be 5,000won each and profits will benefit the league.
I hope to see many of you there on Saturday.

End of Season Details
It's end of season time and the league official(s) will be making their way around the battle grounds on Wednesday night with details about the playoffs, the banquet, awards and end-of-season tournaments. Before we do that, here is a brief precis of the delights coming your way in the next month:
Playoffs will begin next weekend. June 5th is the designated day for the first round of the playoffs but teams might have to be a little flexible given that there will almost certainly be clashes of venue and the fact that it is a holiday weekend. Matches can take place on Monday 6th June (Memorial Day) if teams are willing.
The 'End of Season Doubles Trophy Tournament' will take place next Saturday June 4th at Bulldog and JR BBQ. Sign-ups will be in Bulldog from 3pm. Any player who has competed in 5 separate matches this season is eligible to enter the contest. Pairs will be drawn at random and an upper bracket player will be paired with a lower bracket player to avoid superhero partnerships.
The 'End of Season Singles Money Tournament' will take place on June 11th at Dolce Vita, Scrooge Pub, Shenanigans and Fat Albert's. Sign-ups will be in Dolce Vita at 3pm and once again players who have competed in 5 separate matches this season are allowed to compete once they have parted with 10,000won of their hard earned cash. Full details of that tournament will be posted next week.
The Winter/Spring 2016 IPL Banquet will take place at the Crown Hotel from 7pm on Friday June 24th. We will be awarding trophies, reviewing the new style season and providing quality food and beverages all for your enjoyment.
One of the finest players to have graced the league in recent seasons, Paul Riddle, has become a Seybert's representative. He is now able to provide quality pool equipment to you at around cost price. He will be bringing some of his toys to the banquet for a short presentation and you can also contact him directly if you are interested in any of the products in the Seybert's range.
