[POOL] Pool Final Results and New Session

[Paul Hovland]

I can play tonight, but would prefer not to.

I don't think it's a good idea to use the revised handicap tables for this session.  There hasn't been enough time to discuss them before tonight's matches and I don't like the idea of changing them mid-session.
