The 23 rule does promote growth, and does insure that folks try to recruit new people to the league and to the game. And I don't see anything wrong with that, its not a secret that is sprung on people.

What it also accomplishes is to maintain some sort of balance, so that there is less to drive lesser skilled players away. If teams were allowed to stack up (and play) more higher level players, there will be a large group of people that just won't play anymore. These are the casual players, and those who aren't driven to improve. Many of those folks feel intimidated playing the better players. And the handicap difference doesn't matter, getting smoked by better players often enough will drive those types of players away.

The system works reasonably well, and its never gonna be geared towards the "better" players.

APA has a Masters Division out here that has no handicap and you can use a jump cue :grin:
 
Another "just so ya know".... I beat another SL5 tonight, 4-0 in about 20 some-odd innings....

We'll see what that brings next week.

:grin:

congrats on the win dub :smile:.

you was shooting good to win 4-0.

i played on my money league team tonight. i faced a 5 also. i won 4-3. this guy played so many safes on me it was unreal.

i did not play on my apa team tonight. i did not feel like driving to the other side of town but would have went if they needed me.

i will not be able to play on my fri night apa team this week either. i will be in tunica playing in the napa tournament then. i think i put together a pretty good team for this tournament. if my teamates bring their "a" game i like our chances of at least getting to the quarter finals.

then next weekend i will be back in tunica for the apa tournament. i was asked to join this team for the tournament and there are a couple of strong players on it. i hope we do alright next weekend also.

anyway good luck in your next match dub and i hope you win it 4-0 also:grin-square:

I am not in favor, as when these things aren't in the main forum, they get less attention. For better and for worse.

The sub forums are great, and i visit a few. But I expect that most folks don't go browsing though them very often, and without the casual traffic, many folks that might have an opinion or experience might not ever see a given thread. Let alone even contribute.

If everything needs its own sub forum, the main forum won't have any subjects at all.

(I realize there are those who tire of league discussion. Personally, I don't think it occurs enough that it dominates the front page, so it shouldn't have to be relegated to a sub forum. Just my .02....)

you might be right dub. most league threads do kinda die out rather quick, unless it is an apa bashing thread:grin-square:
