A question for any of you who play league in a room that charges by the hour.

How many tables does the house give you to play on during league night?
Do you have to pay for your primary table of play?
For a secondary warm up/practice table?
Do you get one or two tables for free?

Do you get a discount on a secondary table, or on other nights when you come in to practice?

Thanks-

2 tables 1 for each team to practice on before the match and 2 for match play.

paid for by our weekly dues.

we also get free practice time, other times during the week at the managers descretion. (in other words not on a friday night if it's busy)
 
I Play in an In-House League, 20 Tables, (12 9's / 8 7's), on League Night each Team has a Table, (9'), (Home / Visitor), Home Team dictates Match Table, Second Table becomes Practice Table...1 1/2 Hrs after Match Play starts, Second Table becomes a Match Table as well...Table time is included in Weekly League dues, ($8, $1 to In-House Operator; $2 to the room; $5 to The APA)...as for 'Other' times...never pay for Table Time in My Home Rooms...get to know your Room Owners, and Their Staff, become a Regular and you will find yourself 'Off The Clock', more and more...
 
A Sweet Deal

The Parlor provides one table per league match at no cost. Normally, table time is $12 per table per hour. The tables are available for practice half an hour before matches start. Matches last two to two and a half hours. They make their money from food and beverage sales.
 
Thanks Mark, but this I already know. I am trying to learn how the rest of our brothers & sisters pay and play around the country out of curiosity.
 
We get two tables (one for each team) with half hour for practice and 3.5 hours of match time. If we finish early, we get the tables for the rest of the time to play. Paid for by weekly dues.
 
We get 1 table for every two teams for matches, and two practice tables which work like 8-ball 1-game challenge tables, winner holds the table and calls the next name off the list. There are actually two different divisions of eight teams each playing at Fast Eddie's on Thursdays, so that works out to 10 9' tables for leagues, which I guess is probably all the room can afford to give us. All league tables are available for free starting at 6:00, matches start at 7:00. I don't know what sort of cut the room gets out of the weekly $8 match fee, but whatever it is, it covers all ten tables from 6:00 on.

Just one table normally free.

They used to have a practice table, but stopped doing this as per the management. I have no idea why. Nobody uses the coin op bar table really due to the fact that the cue ball is a balloon tavern ball that is 2 3/8" diameter, when the "league standard" is a red circle cue ball.
 
Well on the wednesday nite league i am on, practice starts at 6pm, leagues start at 630pm. if your team wants another table you pay the 3$ per hour per person fee.

Now the league only has 8teams for that nite, so there are many open tables so teams will get a table and have people rotate in and out to stay fresh before the match.

I know the other pool hall in town does this too.
