This might turn in to a long post so kindly back out now if they are not your cup of tea.
I went to league last night and had 5 out of 7 players show up. One guy is on national guard duty for the whole month and props to him for the job he does for our country.
One girl is out sick...so i heard.
Some of you may have heard about the new scoring app apa has initiated and we have been doing 8 ball for several weeks....we are also continuing with the scoresheet at the same time. No big deal as the app is easy to use. Well we also.started using the 9 ball app for the first time last night...along with the scoresheet. As with anything new the 9 ball app took a little while to get used too last night and you really have to stay on top of whats going on because you have to account for who makes what balls each rack. So you need to have a good view of the table and several times i had to check to see not only how many fell on a break but the number of each ball also.
I have to say that so far i am really digging the new apps but kind of a pain to be still keeping keep the scoresheets too at this time. The reason i am mentioning the apps in detail is because of what transpired during the match and having to deal with the scorekeeping at the end resulted in my blood pressure going ballistic.
Now to what set me off. During the second match i was playing 8 ball and a girl on my team who had played the first 9 ball match asked me when i had walked back to the table while my opponemt was racking the third rack if she could play 8 ball next so she could leave afterwards . i told her no that it would not be fIr to the other players for her to play and leave when the other 2 girls had not even played yet.
She winds up playing the fourth match and leaves without even telling me.so i start to throw another girl the 5 th match and find out she left without telling me so i had no one to play the 5 th 8 ball match.
So i am getting more pizzed by the minute. So i tell my last player to play 9 ball and we will forfeit the last 8 ball. The other team said to replay her 8 ball also that they didnt want a forfeit. So my player is going to play both at the same time. I tell my last remaining player that had already played both his matches to keep 8 ball and i would keep 9 ball.
He said he had to leave. Wtf ??? !!! I told him there was no way i could keep both. He said he had to go .i told him to get the fug out then.
So needless to say i had a time trying to keep.8 ball and 9 ball at the same time . done it before but keeping 8 ball app and scoresheet plus a new 9 ball app and scoresheet was a real pain in the ass. Thankfully both apps are really easy to use.
Now about the situation with my team..my thought process last night and still continuing at this moment is to kick those three players off my team. That aint gonna work since it will only leave 3 for the rest of this month until the boy gets back from national guard .
I have never had this situation before and last night could wind up a fluke thing. But i have a whole week to think about what to do about it. Maybe just give them a lecturr about team unity and the realization that things do come up but they all left me in a bad situation last night.
May just give them a warning that next time they leave early not to come back but right now i so wanna kick them all off.
