Here in Michigan there is way more pool tournaments and leagues played in the winter months.

Then when it gets warm and the days get nicer,, pool takes a down turn. Most tournaments end,,because people just don't come and play. Its been learned over the years that there won't be a turnout .

Leagues are still going but with way fewer teams.

Is it like this everywhere???
 
I have no idea if it's like that in IL, since I rarely frequent a poolhall during the summer, and I don't play league in the summer. lol :p
 
Yes, it's seasonal

I'm blessed to live in Colorado, where I can fish and ride my bike for three seasons a year. Nevertheless, my home table gives me at least an hour-a-day to bang balls. During winter, I haunt the pool halls, such as they are in poor, poor, pitiful Denver.

It is the same here .. Once the nice weather hits, people want to leave the city and enjoy the summer days .. And then it starts back up September.

Just the way it has allways been, Since I have been playing.
 
I normally do not play leagues in the summer but am going to this year. I'm bored out of my mind, and it's also an oppurtunity to play on a different team and make some new friends at the same time.
 
Paul took the words out of my mouth. Would only add golf in there.

Living in Ca the weather is kinda the same year around, in Vegas its so hot in the summer I might play more then, its impossible to be outside after 8am.


For myself I play in streaks, sometimes thats 6 months 6 days a week, other times its once a week. It is circumstantial. If there is action I play, if i'm burned out I take some time off. I never had a "season" for pool. But i never played in a league either. Just like business sometimes I work all the time other times I dont. I'm a free spirit I do what I like when I like. I think thats the best way to describe it.

I understand the people who play during the winter and take the summer off because of the climate, if I lived somewhere like that i would most likely take time off during the summer time to enjoy the other things in life.
 
I am too busy riding my motorcycles, playing baseball and golf to have enough time to play pool too. That being said I play very little pool i the warm weather months. Without pool and football I am not sure how I would get through the winter. I think I have that SADS disease or whatever they call the people who hate winter.

The leagues slow down a little during the summer here, but still have a good participation. The regulars don't come into our room on the weekends as much during the summer either.

I would say it slows down a bit here.
 
Ca season

:shocked2::angel::bow-down::clapping:
I youse to play year around but my road partner has pretty much quit playing. We would call the first rain in the fall, the start of the pool season. It starts raining getting a little colder, people start coming back into the pool rooms and then we would hit the road and a few rooms every day for a week or so. It was more of a joke than anything thing else, but it was an excuse to tell our women of why we weren't going to be around.
Those days are long gone. He has pretty given up pool and I have lost my eyesight in one eye so gardening for me and cooking will be my fun until things straighten out.
Pool season is any day you get a game and put the cash into your pocket.
 
Leagues are pretty much the same occupancy in Summer over these parts. You might have some of the people that joined because their friends convince them they need another player to drop but all in all not much difference in the almost 2 years ive been in.
 
I started this thread because I was thinking that players that live in states ,,,that have no real winter. Well,,, that they might have an advantage by staying active all year long.

But I don't think that is the case,, still not sure.

It might not be a bad thing to play hard,,very hard,,practice,tournaments,leagues ,,ect... for 6 months and take a break for 6.

Does anyone know the ratio of States that have no real winter?? I don't have a clue but would guess there are more states that are seasonal.
 
Think in the Valley of the Sun it is Tournament Season 365 DAYs a year, but the fields are getting smaller, and smaller as the recession continues.

League all 7 of em in the Valley have seasons.

Weekly tournament attendance is down about 20% in the summer.

The number of people playing in league is about cut in half
