[POOL] League starts next week

[Craig Stacey]

Here's the results from the rule change vote:

> Hello, All,
>
> I have heard from everyone except Andy Knagge.  But, with what  
> people have said so far, I can summarize very quickly.  People can  
> review the previous emails to confirm what I have surmised.
>
> Everyone seems to like the idea of adjusting the match-up chart.   
> This should have the effect of reducing the overall number of games  
> played by a team in an evening.  As an exercise, I applied the  
> adjusted match-up chart to the first two evenings of the last  
> session.  The result: the same outcome would have occurred in 37  
> out of 40 matches.  The number of games that would not have been  
> played was approximately 10 per evening.  So, it seems like the  
> match-ups are consistent.  We'll just have to see if it does  
> shorten the evening.
>
> I believe that most people want to keep the rules as they are.   
> Four of the eight teams have said this explicitly.  And, I am  
> willing to bet Andy's vote would tip the scales.  (If I am wrong,  
> Andy, please tell me.)  So, unless people want further discussion  
> on the matter, I will say that the only change to league play will  
> be to change the match-up chart.  These new charts will be on the  
> score sheets for your convenience.
>
> I also would like to ask that each Team Captain contact all of  
> their members to make sure they are intent on playing.  I didn't  
> have any APL recruitment drives this summer because I didn't think  
> we would need more players.  If you DO need players, it might be  
> best to ask friends, family, and co-workers if they are interested.
>
> Lastly, the first league night is a week from today (9/18/07).  I  
> look forward to seeing everyone.

> Regards,
