The IPL committee has decided, in the wake of the abandoned match between Catch Me Cats and Dolce Vita Money Shot, to disqualify both teams from this season’s playoffs. Both teams displayed little or no respect, friendship or hospitality to each other. By all accounts the behavior of some individuals (on both sides) and the language used was simply unacceptable. We are sorry to have been forced into this decision, but we believe the behavior on display from both teams falls well short of what is expected in the league. Our league was founded on the principal of sportsmanship and camaraderie, which was sadly lacking on Sunday.

 

We hope, in making this decision, that the IPL committee upholds the values of good sportsmanship. We would like to invite Catch Me Cats and Dolce Vita Money Shot to continue to be a part of the league and to come to the banquet on December 13th with an amiable, welcoming and conciliatory manner.

 

As a result of this decision, the IPL committee has decided to award the C Championship to JR Pub Black Hole with Fat Albert’s Scandal being awarded 3rd Place. The will be no 2nd Place team this season. Many congratulations to both teams on a fine season.

 

This Saturday, you lucky people have the final chance to take some hard earned cash from the IPL coffers...but only if you beat a load of Untouchables (upper bracket) or Lennys (lower bracket) in the process. It's our End of Season Singles Money Tournament.

I have some more sad news for the IPL family.

 

Mark “The Gangsta Chef” McIntosh passed away in his sleep Saturday morning, November 30th.

 

Mark worked as a chef at the US Army Songnam Golf Course, and then at the Main Post Club and the Dragon Hill Lodge.

 

He joined the Itaewon Pool League in 2005, playing with the Seoul Pub Team. He also played out of the old King Bar, and then in 2007, he started playing out of 3 Alley as part of the original (and notorious) Wild Hogs. He was active in the league until the end of 2009, when he moved to Waekwan Base

 

He kept up with the goings on of the Itaewon Pool League through friends who were still active in the league. Those who knew Mark will tell you that he was a great friend and a great team mate. He will be remembered and missed.

 

Mark was five days shy of his 61st birthday when he passed. He is survived by his wife of two years here in Korea, and by an adult son and an adult daughter in the United States, as well as several siblings.

 

A wake is tentatively scheduled for three days beginning Tuesday, December 3rd in Ansan.

 

Rest in peace, Mark.

 

Mark McIntosh – December 5th, 1958 ~ November 30th, 2019

This Saturday, we demand you to participate in a festival of cuemanship, or cuewomanship, on the green baize (or whatever hideous colour the bars have deemed it fit to decorate a pool table with). Basically, it's our End of Season Doubles Trophy Tournament.

 

Date: Saturday, November 9th

Venues: Hidden Cellar & Phillie's

Sign Ups: 3:00 - 3:45pm in Hidden Cellar

Entry: Free to those who have played 3 separate weeks of this season.

Incentives: Trophies for those placed in the top 3 (one each, we are very generous)...and the orgy of self congratulation and adulation you'll feel as you pick up those trophies on the night of the Banquet from the sexiest presenter we can find...probably myself or Lenny, or if you're very lucky...Russell!

The best players in the league will be paired with with those who love to drink on Wednesday night and see 2 pool tables instead of 1...or something like that!

Hope to see many of you on Saturday.
