APA Double jeopordy
The summer session, my 9 ball team qualified for tri-cups, where we went and won, qualifying us for city, the last step to qualify for a trip to Vegas. City will be May 30- June 1. This past session, we won 1st place in 9 ball, re-qualifying us for tri-cups, despite not needing to go to it and also despite the fact that the bar tri-cups is held at is one of the worst around, but it is the one with the most tables. We also, however, qualified for tri-cups in 8 ball. My 9 ball team is going to get a little hectic though. The skill levels are as follows for next session: 7, 7, 6(me as captain), 6, 5, 3, 3(new player next session, established in 8 ball as a 3), 2. Last session, we started with 6, 6, 5, 4 (me, yes I jumped 2 skill levels in one session, but that's what happens when you go 20 of 21 in matches played in 2 sessions), 4, 2, 2. So we all improved in skill level, which I hope does not hurt us in city.
I am joining a league new to my area called NAPA (any thoughts?) for a 10 ball league that starts Thursday the 16th. I am definitely looking forward to it. The league operator was looking to do a masters style laggers' choice league, which he got for Wednesday nights. But I told him I was mainly interested in the possible 10 ball. So he asked around, added a 10 ball league, and had double the turn out for the 10 ball league as opposed to his laggers choice league. A little proud of myself for calling that one.
