The third season of the ever popular Hoboken Straight Pool League is now taking sign-ups. This season, beginning October 2nd, promises to be the most popular season yet so sign up soon to reserve a place at www.hobokenstraightpool.com

If you play in NYC and fancy a change of scene, just pop on the PATH train, or take an 8 min bus ride from Port Authority to this friendly, and competitive League. Players range from A to D standard. There is no paperwork, and no schedules pinned to message boards. The whole League is run on-line with real-time results updates. You get your own personal page with all your statistics, schedule and a ranking against all the other players in three different categories. See the results of every match the moment it is completed. See the high run of every player, rank all the players by handicap, high run, or just alphabetically. Scout out your opponents by checking out all their season's statistics before your match! On-line forum lets all players stay in touch with all developments.

Just $10 a week to pay for a shot at a minimum of $3500+ in cash paid out after the 13 week season + playoffs. First place well over $1000. Fully handicapped. New players welcome.

Information, League Operator contact details, and more are all on-line at www.hobokenstraightpool.com Check the site to see how it works as Season 2 reaches it's climax over the next month.

Nice site Hob, if I ever manage to move to NY I'm in!

You even got girls playing! :eek:
 
Hey Tim.... looks like a very well-run site and league. I wish I could play, but it's a bit of a hike and I'm already playing a 14.1 league on Monday nights.

Just out of curiosity, how far is Willow from either Edgewater or Cliffside Park? We may be moving to NJ and if so, would need to find a new pool room :).

Haha, actually I had a lot more in the first season, until a Ladies League formed and the best ladies decided to help set that up. But some are coming back in Season 3. Looking for some fresh blood? ;)

Hi Steve, Willow is probably a 10-15 min drive from Edgewater. It's right at the top end of Hoboken so you avoid Hoboken traffic.

Do you know if the new Amsterdam will have the Danny's old Corner Monday League AND Rolando's Friday League next season?

Wow... driving to a poolroom, lol. I haven't done that on a regular basis in about 10 years!

I think Danny is going to continue running his leagues at ABC into the coming seasons. He may try to figure out a way to handicap his players the same way Rolando does, so players could go between leagues more easily.

hehe, nah of course not!!! I just like to see pool taken to the masses, although I am a closet Fair Trade Organic Feminist! :rolleyes:

Just out of curiosity what are the main "seasons" that the best pool leagues run in NY, and what leagues are players my speed allowed to play in?

PS
Should get my own table in about 3 weeks, its going to be straight pool 7 nights a week I can't wait!!!

I do try and get people of all standards to get involved, and I split the divisions so people play others generally on or around their skill level most weeks of the season. I also have few 'InterLeague' weeks for lower ranked players to 'have a pop' at one of the big boys. I also do not play in my own League to ensure neutrality and unbiasedness. I watch games to make sure people are fairly ranked. I could not do that if I played as well.

Most Leagues have three seasons; Fall, Spring and Summer. They tend to start in Sep/Oct, Jan/Feb, May/June.

I'd LOVE to get my own table. I've thought many times about getting one for my apartment but it's just not quite big enough for a 9ft. In a couple of years when we look to move to the suburbs, a pool table in the basement is an absolute must!

Thanks Steve.

What do you feel is a fair and challenging handicap for you to keep motivation? Would you prefer the 200/40 races you must be used to, or make the game more challenging for you. i.e. 100/50 race but you must play your last five balls in rotation.
