The schedule for the 2018-2019 league season is complete. The individual events will be posted to the website over the next few days, however the full schedule is available via PDF at this link. Thanks to all who participated in the captains meeting to help get this finalized and completed!
Here are the individual team schedule links:
Hey league players! Tonight is the last night of regular league play for this season. First and foremost, I want to thank all of you for your participation in the league this year. I especially want to thank the team captains for their tireless effort to make sure we have a team each week and that someone is keeping score! LOL!
Second, I just want to give you a few reminders:
Thank you again for such a wonderful season and we’ll see you all at the tournament on March 31st! Contact tcgpl@playpooltwincities.com if you have any questions.

Hey league players!
I hope all of you are having a good time this year participating in the Twin Cities Gay Pool League. I just wanted to mention a couple of things:
If you drop a ball on the break, you are what you dropped. If you drop one (ore more) of each on the break, it is still open.
There are some teams interested in calling for a vote about how many time outs a team may take in a give game/set/match. If there is interest in calling this to a vote for next season, please send me an email indicating your interest in having it added to the season-end voting ballot.
Reminder: home teams are responsible for sending in the scores at the end of the night.
Our league season always runs from October to March. Teams form in September and the season end tournament / party is in early April.
Our league treasurer is Brant. Our not-for-profit pool league fees are $25/player for the season. The majority of this money is donated to a local charity that is selected by majority vote from suggestions given by each team. Your team should agree upon a charity you would like to recommend to receive this season’s donation before the winter break (December 18th). Email your team’s choice by then and we will add it to the online voting ballot.
When your team is scheduled to play the Saloon Sharks (SAL2) team, be prepared to pay your player league fees to Brant on that evening. In the event that Brant is not available, Troy will take your payment.
Thanks and contact me if you have questions!

Welcome Pool Players!
Tonight’s the night for our first matches of the season! Please make sure at least one person from your team brings a printed copy of the score sheet; both teams should keep score.
Tips for making tonight great
Each year we all have a great time and enjoy getting to see old friends and meet new ones throughout the season. To makes things stay focused and fun, here’s a few tips for tonight:
Be on time: matches start at 7pm. call/contact your captain immediately if you know you’re going to be late. Captains let the other team know if your team will not be on time. REMINDER: No contact from anyone on the opposing team by 7:15pm is officially considered a forfeit. Be in communication.
Bring your cue (if you have one)
Don’t fight: the official rules are posted online but there will be disputes. settle disputes like adults; team captains have the final say/verdict on interpretation. if a particular rule is unclear, make a judgement for the evening and then contact Jared for clarification afterwards.
Keep score: HOME TEAMS are responsible for remembering to email a picture of your signed, completed score sheet at the end of the night to tcgpl@playpooltwincities.com.
Have fun!: have a great time, enjoy yourselves, thank your sponsoring bars/staff, and get home safely. let’s make this season a great one!

Thanks to all who attended the captains/new players meeting at Game Sports Bar. We have 10 teams (9 last year) and the same number of sponsors (lost one; gained one). Thank you to everyone (especially Brent) who contacted our sponsor bars for this year’s season.
Your team’s schedule has been sent to your team captain. In addition, a PDF of the schedule is available on the league page. Plus, all scheduled matches are posted to the results pages.
Contact your team captain if you have questions and we’ll see you all for the first night of pool on Monday, October 10th at 7:00 PM. Match locations posted.
Have a great season, be kind/civil, and do not forget rule #1: HAVE FUN!!

Click on the primary menu link from the home page to access either the team or player standings.
Additional metrics will be added as I figure this thing out. Also, if you have outstanding score sheets that you haven’t sent me, please do. Thanks for everyone’s patience. More/better things to come!

Our new pool league website software seems to be working very well and the response from league members has been positive. One of the biggest challenges has been enabling the scoring and results portion of the website. I’m hoping to spend extra time over the holiday break to figure out the system and get all of our results published to the website. I apologize for the delay, but stay tuned! The scores are coming!
