Korean version of the rules are now available
Thanks to Darryl Dawson (for arranging the translation) and Bernard (for uploading it onto the website), there is now a Korean version of the IPL rules available on the website under the "Rules" menu. In order to access this file, you will need to have the site set to Korean language. Hopefully, this will make it easier for our Korean speaking members.

Happy Lunar New Year
The Itaewon Pool League Executive Committee would like to wish you all a wonderful New Year. The Year of the Rat (love the sound of that)!
The Winter/Spring 2020 season is well underway, and I am sure that you have noticed a major difference in the structure of the league this season. No divisions, every team plays every other team one time. With nineteen teams, that means that each team will have eighteen matches and one bye. Works out pretty well. There will be some blowouts, but it should make for a pretty social season with everyone playing everyone.
The playoffs will be divided into three divisions, based on final season totals. The top five teams will be going for the Erickson Cup, the middle seven teams will be going for the B Division Cup, and the bottom seven teams will be going for the C Division Cup. It should be pretty interesting.
As we mentioned at the Organizational Meeting, all teams need to pay their team fees (350,000 won) before matches begin on Wednesday, January 29th. I have already sent out messages to the captains of the teams that have not paid yet. Dom will be following up on that leading up to Wednesday. Don't make him angry. You wouldn't like him when he's angry.
Good news for our Korean players. A Korean version of the rules will be ready for the website very soon. We will let you know when it is up on the site.
We want to thank all the captains, players and bar owners for participating in our league this season. We hope you enjoy it!

The passing of IPL Member So Hee Yoon
It is with a heavy, heavy heart that I bring you the news of So Hee Yoon's passing this morning.
So Hee was, beyond any debate, one of the sweetest, most generous, most beloved people in the Itaewon Pool League. The number of people whose lives she touched and enriched is beyond reckoning. There was no one who was more willing to help others. Her smile and laugh were infectious, and you immediately knew when So Hee had entered a room. Joy and laughter followed her wherever she went.
So Hee was in the pool league from July of 2009 until our banquet last Friday, spreading her good cheer and brightening bars nearly every Wednesday night. Her sudden death has greatly shocked and saddened the Itaewon and HBC communities. She will always be remembered and loved.
As Korean tradition, the burial will be held on Tuesday Morning at 10:00 (2019-Dec-17) So before that time you can offer condolences and visit to Soon Chun Hyang Hospital, Room 307, located in 서울특별시 용산구 대사관로 59 (한남동, 순천향대학병원) 59, Daesagwan-ro, Yongsan-gu, Seoul, Republic of Korea.
Rest in peace , our lovely So Hee. We miss you already.
