I often wonder this. I love in house leagues where you don't have to travel somewhere new each week, like another bar. The Focus is pool, not drinking. Where i am from one of the few poolhalls we have that I play in has had a league since they opened long long time ago.
The reason I ask is my wife and I often fantasize about selling our house and moving to a different climate since the Upper Midwest can kind of have some shitty winter weather sometimes. But I really will hate to miss out on the league at our pool hall which I really enjoy. Of course this won't dictate whether or not we move, I'll just miss it a lot.
* We play house rules, a slightly modified version of BCA (for 8-Ball the 8 counts on the break as a win)
* League goes; Summer 9-ball, Fall 8-ball, Spring 8-Ball
* There's a A league and a B league by choice
* Each league plays one night a week. Tues or Thurs.
* it's a 2 man league
* Coaching is allowed
* No jumping, no massè shots where cue is raised above the shoulder
* There's a handicap for 8 ball determined by 1st 3 weeks scores
* Tables are Gold Crown III Pro 8-ft
* 9-Ball is 12 games each (24 games a night)
* 8-Ball is 6 games each (12 games a night)
* There is no sub players allowed, but games can be made up when you miss a night.
Over all it's a great league with a lot of regular players and a lot of new ones that come and go.
What's your pool hall (not bar) league like?
