</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">First of all, I want to congratulate Roger on his win against Ron Shepherd. This wasn't a scratch on the eight by Ron. Roger genuinely beat him in the fourth game.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">There was a bit of a problem last night. We had a full team of five players, but our opponents had only three players. Also, Roger had to wait for Ron for like an hour because Ron had to go home to get his cue stick. While we were all wondering what happened to Ron, we negotiated an agreement that their team would take one forfeit, and we would make up the other match. After Roger beat Ron though, Bobby Crews said he wanted two make ups. I talked to Kevin about all this before, during, and after the whole mess, and he said that he hasn't been enforcing the forfeit rules yet this session because of the player shortage. But, he also said we had the right to ask for forfeits. I don't want to be a jerk about this, but we scrambled to get five players together to avoid a forfeit. And, I don't like the idea of having to be there forever next week to play a total of seven matches.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Anyway, Kevin suggested a possible vote by the team captains on this issue. I think we should decide as a team as to what we want. I'd like one forfeit and one make up.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">One other point I found interesting. Bobby said that they had other players coming later, but after Roger and Ron's match, they all went home. No one else showed up.</FONT></P>
