Congrats to all.....were many bags of sand (or is it sandbagging) involved?
 
Imo ...

Having handicaps involved in National competition is JUST WRONG. Anywone that wins a National Championship and is a SL4, I am sure is at least a 5 and probably a 6.

Gee, that's like someone telling you are the best when you know it is not true. Amateur Leagues may be good for participation, but they also work against the true spirit of the sport sometimes too.

Got bored and played a session some time ago.

It became very clear that handycapping/sandbagging skills had a LOT to do with who the winners and losers were. Maybe more than pool playing ability...

The league "headknockers" were hands-off. Probably to busy counting their money to find out/control what was happening.:cool:
