[POOL] The situation with the table.

[Boettinger, William]

I think it's a good idea, because (if the league decides in favor of
this) it is basically a win-win
situation for us and the league. We get a MUCH reduced rate on the table
(if the league approves) and
the league gets to use the table for overflow if they need have to later
in the night. If we DO lose
the table to a match, we got free play up till that match. That match
would probably be later than earlier.

It sounds like a great idea to me, but what about the mail-in rebate?

It sounds like a good idea.  But, I think the overflow table has helped
enough to be worth it.  Typically, the latest I've stayed was around
10:30-11pm.  Before the overflow table, leaving at 11:30-midnight was
not that unusual, IIRC.  They've also been using the league practice
table on occassion.

I guess what you're saying is this, "If the league doesn't give-up the
overflow table, we end-up paying a full rate for our table."  Is that
correct?
