Bob, Thanks so much for explaining what that meant.... I had no idea. Thank you for the offer but I do not want my league to be handicapped. Instead I like different skill level divisions.
Carl... There is a one time League fee of 25 dollars. (There are no weekly fees by the players).Players are responsible for their own table time if charged by the room where the match is played.
The league is a round robin format league with each player playing every other player in the league a single match to 125. Each player will be assigned three matches per month. Those matches can be played in any order.
All matches are to be played on either 8' or 9' tables at any location, even on a home table as long as agreed upon by both players. If a location can not be agreed on or the table size, then the match must be played at the Den on a 8' table....The rules shall be those as outlined in the BCA rule book. (which is Cue Ball fouls only) just like we play in the 8-ball & 9-ball League.
There are other rules pertaining to (tie breakers at the end of the season, matches that do not get played, player dropping out of the league).
Pay Outs.... I have a set pay out for the final standings, plus a pay out for high run of the season. The first season that I started I had 11 players and I did not have a fee to join the league. I just wanted 14.1 to get started down here in this area. All pay outs (550 dollars came out of my own pocket). This second season a 25 dollar sign up fee and I have 23 players signed up with many more asking to get in. All money goes back to the pay outs for players. I do not take any pay out money for what ever place I place in. The next player will get that pay out. I have started this league not to make money but to bring 14.1 back to the players. Next season, I am going to have two divisions an A & B. Depending on the number that sign up. I might have to put a little into the pay out, hopefully I'll have enough in both divisions. Also, any pro players that wants in are welcome but will not collect any pay out like myself and I am surely no pro player. This league is for players that have worked hard for years and years of making this sport so great. Ok, that is about it, if you have any other questions send them my way. Love to talk pool and my league.
