We will be holding our mid-season captains' meeting on Sunday, March 26th at 5:00 pm at Shenanigans.
Please make sure that at least one representative from your team attends (and remains at) the meeting. This season, we will be awarding 10 points to each team represented at the meeting. You know, just to spice things up a little.
If anyone has anything they wish to have discussed at the meeting, please post on Off the Break, or contact one of the Executive Committee members prior to Sunday.
My team has a bye this coming week, so I will be going around to all the bars on Wednesday to get free beers, er... I mean, to check in with everyone.

It was brought to my attention that March 18th would not be a good date for a tournament, since it is the Saturday of the Saint Patrick's Day weekend. Apparently, people like to drink on that day, and bars would prefer not to host tournaments on that day. Therefore, please note the changes to the important dates below, marked in red.
Here are the important dates to remember for the remainder of the season:
Saturday, March 25th - Mid-season Double-elimination Singles Trophy Tournament
Sunday, March 26th - Mid-season Captains' Meeting
Saturday, April 1st- Mid-season Double Elimination Blind Draw Doubles Money Tournament
Saturday, May 20th - End-of-season Double Elimination Blind Draw Doubles Trophy Tournament
Saturday, May 27th - End-of-season Double Elimination Singles Money Tournament
Wednesday, June 7th - Last regular-season matches
Sunday, June 11th; Wednesday, June 14th; Sunday June 18th; Wednesday, June 21st - Playoffs
