[POOL] APL Week 9 Results

[Bass, Dean Allen]

Sorry we didn’t get an email out last week, we’re still trying to work out the kinks in this process when I’m away.  Attached are the results for the last 2 weeks as well as the scoresheets for next week.

New Player.  Nick Nakielny joined Team 5, “Nice Game 7 Bucks”.  Please welcome him when you see him.

Leaders.  Team 1 “Cue Therapy" has a comfortable lead on 1st place and John Derby continues to squeak by opponents and maintain his lead for the MVP.  Last night you can watch some good shooting on Periscope table 1 in his match with Jenny Erdmann.  It was a close game with both players making some great shots and outs.  And don’t count Kevin Felker out of the MVP.  He continues to dominate in some very tough matches.

Rules in review.  Attached are the rules for coaching from our rule book.  Please keep in mind the spirit of these rules, but should a conflict arise, these are the rules.

3.1. Coaching

          Coaching is defined as giving tactical advice as to which ball to shoot, where to leave the cue ball and other information relating to the specific game. Coaching is called by anyone on the current team (including the shooter) saying “Time-Out” or “Coach.” To avoid any confusion, say it loudly and clearly enough for the opposing team to hear. Avoid disputes, when it is your turn, go to the table and begin your turn. Don’t continue talking with your teammates as your opponent may think you are being illegally coached.  The shooting player may ask for a rule clarification from any league player, anyone may remind the shooter to designate the 8-ball pocket, or that they are about to shoot the wrong group of object balls, or that they have a “cue-ball in hand”; these do not count as tactical coaching advice.  Any current team member can give coaching advice to the designated coach before a “Coach” is called; the designated coach must be the person that relays the advice to the player.  If the designated coach becomes unavailable during the match, another team member may assume the role provided notice is given to the opposing team beforehand.  In the event that no team members are available to act as the designated coach, another league member may be enlisted to act as a substitute designated coach provided the opposing player approves the selection; if the opposing team does not approve a substitute designated coach, then the shooting player must continue play without the benefit of advice.  The coach should approach the pool table (rather than the shooter going to the team’s table). Violation of the following coaching rules results in a ball-in-hand for the opponent:

Coaching Violations (Ball-in-Hand Penalty)

•  Three coaches are allowed for handicaps < 10, two coaches for handicaps 10 to 99, and one coach for handicaps • 100.

•  Each coaching period is limited to approximately two minutes (after the two minute coaching period, the player then has one minute to execute the shot).  The opposing team should give a 10 second warning, and if the coach does not leave the table by the two minute limit, the penalty is imposed.

•  The coach may not place the cue ball on the table at any time.  A coach may pick up the cue ball off of the floor, out of a pocket, or out of the ball return, but he must hand it to the shooting player, he may not place the ball on the table.

•  The coach may not mark the 8-ball pocket.

•  The coach must not mark the table in any way (chalk, powder, water, etc.) and he must leave the table before the shooter attempts the shot.
