After all the discussion about the PAP, and the dumping, pool etiquette, etc. Yes, I meant to call it PAP (Pool? Almost Pool?). It's set up for the cash, period. The poolroom owners, and the owners make the cash. It's kind of like a fraternity that ANYONE can join. You're guaranteed some competition, if you take it serious. Then, you're guaranteed to hang out with a new crowd.
Well, the OSANCT (pronounced o-sankt) will be pool related---for pool and profit for the players. Old School And New Cash Transaction league will be set up for the player. Here's my proposal.
Three members per team.
A, B, and C are the only ratings.
A players play A players even.
A gives B a game.
A gives C a game and the eight.
B gives C a game.
You play "Three Ahead with Aternating Breaks." Talk about intense. Everyone starts out as an A. If you win, you remain an A. Lose? Go down to a B. Lose again? Go down to a C. In other words, you move up or down with every match.
Each week, there are nine matches, with each player playing every player on the other team. Each team puts up $50 a week. $40 to the winner, and $10 to the Cash Tourney Fund. Depending on how many teams, and how many matches, the cash ALL goes to the end of the season Tourney. For instance (within five poolrooms) if you have "X number" teams and they all play eachother, ah hell let's just say it adds up to $600 in the Tourney fund, at the end of the season the two teams with the most total wins play for the fund in a final showdown for it all.
You see, there won't be any reason to lay down, and it won't pay off to do so. Your teams will need the wins each week. And, if your team is in last place towards the end of the season, you could play the spoiler role, or just win some cash. And with "three ahead", man, unless you are WAAY out gunned, everyone can win getting weight and alternating breaks.
There is NO money kept by anyone that didn't play to win it. And, you could do it on three tables for each team match. And, it's not enough to break the bank either way. Plus, each match could promote really intense games, considering you could lose in two games if you were an A and he a C.
Whaddya think?
