[POOL] Pool Final Results and New Session

[John Valdes]

Moe,

Officially, as expected, we finished in 4th place for the Fall
session, only 2 wins out of a 3-way tie for 1st, which was shared
between Dean's, Bob Daun's and Melanie's teams.  Great job all!  For
our efforts, we won $250 which we can use for our fees and dues for
the Winter session; that should last us roughly 5 weeks.

If you couldn't tell by looking out the window, Winter starts now. :)
Tonight is the first night of the Winter session.  If you played last
session but won't be able to play this session, please let me know
ASAP.

A new handicap table has been proposed for this session.  The limits
of each bracket were reduced by roughly 10 (eg, what was the 50-79
bracket is now 40-69), and a new bracket for when the highest
handicapped player's handicap is < 10 has been added.   The intent is
to slightly improve the matchups for lower handicap players and make
matches between really low handicap players go faster (eg, rather than
having a 3:2 matchup it'd be a 2:1 matchup).  See the attached
tables.  The proposed changes look OK to me, but if you have any
objections, please let me know.

Hope to see you all at Q!

John
