This Saturday, June 1st, we will have a tournament to raise money for Mr. IPL (2012-present), Lenny Erickson. Lenny is facing his second round of serious surgery this year and will likely be absent from the Itaewon scene for around 6 weeks from the beginning of August. This tournament will aim to raise funds to help pay for the surgery and alleviate the burden of being unable to walk, let alone work, for a considerable period. We will have a raffle (including a cue, generously donated by Paul Riddle worth around 300,000won), a Calcutta Auction, and the tournament will be split into Upper and Lower Brackets. It's also a very good chance to warm up for the playoffs and it is something to do whilst we all wait for Tottenham vs Liverpool to kick off at 4am (Come On You Spurs!)
Date: Saturday, June 1st
Venues: Shenanigans & Scrooge
Sign Ups: Shenanigans 3:00-3:45pm
Cost: 10,000won entry + 5,000won buy back in
I will go around the venues on Wednesday to sell raffle tickets in advance to those who can't make the tournament but still want to help out a good man!

This Saturday, we implore you to participate in a fiesta of cuemanship, or cuewomanship, on the green baize. Basically, it's our End of Season Doubles Trophy Tournament.
Date: Saturday, May 18th
Venues: JR Pub & Catch Me
Sign Ups: 3:00 - 3:45pm in JR Pub
Entry: Free to those who have played 3 separate weeks of this season.
Incentives: Trophies for those placed in the top 3...and the orgy of self congratulation and adulation you'll feel as you pick up those trophies on the night of the Banquet...as long as you haven't buggered off on vacation by then.
The best players in the league will be paired with with those still learning to hold a pool cue...or something like that!
Hope to see many of you on Saturday.

And while I have your undivided attention, we will have a tournament for Lenny Erickson on Saturday, June 1st. He is facing his second bout of major surgery this year and is unlikely to be walking, let alone working, for a 6 week period from the beginning of August. Lenny does a tremendous amount of work for the league, a lot of it unnoticed (unless you're lucky enough to work along side him), and this is your chance to say thank you by participating, donating and supporting an IPL legend and Hall of Famer. More details will follow next week.
