IBC leagues starting soon

If any Illinois Straight Pool players think you can put up with conditions such as are alluded to above, contact me by pm or at gwtlaw@aol.com or Rich93 as new leagues are starting the week of February 15 and spots are filling up fast.

Bump

League starts Tuesday and Rich93 is making up schedules this weekend.

If you want in now, speak soon or hold your peace until next session. :smile:

Bump for television coverage for Pool!

I am bumping this old thread to reintroduce some of our 14.1 players to the Illinois Billiard Club.

You do not see much pool on television but there was a feature story on ABC channel 7 this weekend on the Illinois Billiard Club and they actually mentioned straight pool several times in the story.

By the way, the Illinois Billiard Club is going into its 39th straight year of straight pool league play.

This session, which starts this week, we have 19 players in our Tuesday league and 14 players in our Thursday more advanced league. There is still room to squeeze a few players in, if someone wants to move fast.

New League starting February 6, 2012

The IBC and Bonnie's Newsletter -- December 27, 2011.

A warm welcome to both last weeks new IBC member, Mr. Robert D'Agostino, Chicago, IL, and, a second warm welcome to this weeks new member, Mr. Nathan Tavarez, Willow Springs, IL.

Other new members also joining Robert and Nathan in the new February leagues are Mr. Laurence (Larry) Keller, Chicago Heights, IL, and work schedule permitting, Mr. Dean Markoshan, Chicago, IL will both be ready for their first IBC 14.1 league.

I am playing a guy named Dean Bass there tomorrow. He is a braniac from Argonne National Laboratory. Some other heavy hitters are playing Thursday. You should come by and watch anyway and introduce yourself.

That sounds like fun, I just might do that... First things first tho, I'll have to make sure my schedule allows for that.. As of now, I have. I clients oth those days but I'm pretty sure things might change. Either way tho, lemme know what time you're playing tomorrow as I think Wednesday would be better, but don't count me out for Thursday.

I'm playing around 6:30 or 7 but others will be there also. Both days. Early evening until late.

So how did you like it??

A bit crowded with all 6 tables going and even the Billiards table getting some action.

I could not stay around and chat after getting done with my two matches in about 4 hours. I think you will like the straight pool league, whether you end up in the Tuesday league or the Thursday league. I guess the Tuesday league might be a little more relaxed and friendly while the Thursday league is a little more serious. They used to be mixed together all in one big league but it got too big. Tuesday is probably better to get used to the place and the people and the game. After that, you can see if you want to move over to the killer league. Some guys have come over from Tuesday and after one session, ran back to Tuesdays. Depends upon what you are looking for, I guess.
