Well, back to Tuesday night APA 8 ball. Last week, won my match.
Tonight was playoff night for Monday night APA 8 ball. Thank god I'm done with this team! I was only in it to sub for the regular team members who took the summer off, and when they return this fall (next week), I am out and they are in. I don't get to play with them in city cup if they win.
For some reason, this team had no head for strategy. We won the first set of games and a spot in the City Cup. I won my match against another 4. We only need to win 3 matches out of 5. We got the first 3 and that was that.
The next set of games was for trophies. Again, we needed to win 3 matches out of 5. Our team captain, a 5, put himself up first against a 4. While he was playing, they threw me against another 4 (split tables, 2 games going on at once). Race was to 3 for me. I got the first game, she got the second, third and 4th and won.
Now, a GOOD STRATEGY would be to put up one of your best players. We had a 6 and a 7 in the wings who didn't get to play the first set of matches. What do they do? While the captain is behind in his matches, his wife throws herself (a TWO) in the third game slot and begins to play before he is done.
WRONG!!!!!
If he loses, that's 2 losses and she MUST WIN. She's playing a 3. She loses. Our best players don't get to shoot and we're out. STUPID.
I don't ever want to play a game with players who can't recognize even the most basic strategy. Both the 6 and 7 were disgusted with the obvious lack of desire to win.
Tomorrow night: 8 ball on a team that knows how to play!
