Today Mike Sigel paid us a visit at Corner Pocket Billiards in Largo, FL. Listened to him pitch his GPPA League as it is about to launch here this coming week. They held a tournament that used the rules that the GPPA uses about ball in hand and what=not. Interesting format. I will not render a verdict just now.
I did get a chance to meet esteemed pool instructor Scott Lee http://www.poolknowledge.com/ and incidentally, he was the one that retired me to 5th place. Very nice guy, he even gave me a couple pointers after I put him on the spot.
I will say that this league caters to anyone and everyone because of the ball-in-hand format. But it also teaches you how extremely important it is to get whitey to here he needs to be. Should be interesting to see it shake out. Work schedule permitting, I will likely play in atleast one session of this league to fully appreciate it.
Anyways.... awesome day. Met a couple awesome pool players and had a ton of fun.
