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.

A big thank you to all those who helped out with the Mid-Season Singles tournament and/or attended the captains' meeting on Sunday.
From the captains' meeting the big changes you should be aware of are the fact we will revert back to the traditional playoff system of 1 vs 8. 2 vs 7, 3 vs 6 and 4 vs 5. That now means playoffs will begin on Wednesday, June 5th.
Teams can return to regular doubles but only if both captains agree.
Mid-Season tournament entry requirements for players changed to 1 week rather than 3...see above!
Promotion and relegation issues will be determined at the organisational meeting by the executive committee along with an independent captain representing each division. A big thank you to Paul, Francis and Scott for agreeing to help us.
A proposal to move to a Songtan League style format was postponed till the organisational meeting in July.
Scrooge Tournaments
From this coming Tuesday, Scrooge Pub will be putting on a weekly pool tournament. Sign ups are from 6pm and play should commence by 7:30pm. It's 10,000won entry. The style of tournament will be determined by the number of participants and there will be spot prizes to be won on the night.
