[POOL] Fwd: Argonne Pool League PROPOSED CHANGES

[Ti Leggett]

It's worth saying that at the beginning of a match you can negotiate  
a different number of games as long as both sides agree to it. So if  
you're in a 10-1 and think that after 5 losses you won't be able to  
take it, you can negotiate with the other player to play a 5-1 instead.
