Blue cloth, black cloth, this tip that tip, all useless questions.

I want to know if I should go to a meeting for a new league night or to my regular tournament.

The league is run by a person I really like, he runs the junior league my son plays in and I played in the league in a different room before, but I may not actually play in that league at this particular pool room. I would be there to support his effort with any first hand experiences and questions. It's a room where I'm kinda known so my opinion may matter. It's a 10 ball league that is new to the area for that format, USAPL. I should say that he did not ask me to be there, it's just my thought process that I may be helpful to get players to sign up.

The tournament I play with my son, and if I skip it, he won't play, plus there is a new player in the tournament I met that said he will likely show up, and we got along great, so if I don't show up he may be looking for me and may be disappointed. Plus I miss out on a night of playing.

So, what to do?

I may put up a post asking what I should have for dinner also ;):cool:

I'm not trying to tell you what to do, just what I would do. If I had a chance to do much of anything with my son, especially playing a game I love, I'm not going to a meeting. Especially if I hadn't been asked to show. Just my 2 cents worth.
 
The tournament with your kid is time sensitive.....
..the league will be around for a while....help when you can.
 
As Paul said, quality time spent with your Son is more important. I know that you do spend much pool time with your Son.

I would explain the situation with the LO, and tell him that at any other time, you would be willing to lend a hand. That way he knows that you didn't stand them up and yer still in the Good Books.
 
Considering that you probably will not play that league nor were you asked to attend I would 100% vote to go with your son. I wish my dad and I were able to do things like pool together. He didn't even get to see me play much. It will mean more in the future to spend time with your son.

I was not asked to go to the meeting, aside from a Facebook invite that is LOL, so it's not anything he's expecting, but I do know he may be looking around for me since the pool hall is close to where I live, and the tournament is 45 minutes away. Which also goes to show you the quality of the pool room (Jillians) that I drive 45 minutes away instead of 10 minutes to go play.

Seems like the pick was pretty easy, tournament it is.

To those that replied, we do have a fun time together playing, but we do go to the tournament every week and I take him to play several other times, we just had 3 state championships he played in last 3 weeks and have SBE this weekend also he's playing in. Missing a week of the tournament is not that huge of a deal although he would be disappointed a bit.
