<div class="" style="word-wrap:break-word; line-break:after-white-space">Week 9 is complete. 5 weeks left in the regular season (ends April 16). Then 3 weeks of playoffs, the last night is May 7. Attached are the results, standings and schedule. Please
review for accuracy.
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class=""><b class="">Standings</b>. Team #8 “Holdin Our Own” has opened up an impressive lead. Let’s see if we can’t bring them back to the pack. The next 4 teams are within one match of each other. Brandon Lien has really taken hold of the MVP race
winning again last night. He is looking tough to beat. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class=""><b class="">Periscope</b>. You can find videos of matches from last night for Kevin v Melanie, Dean v Adam, Frank v Jill and Ron V Jess. The web address is
<a href="http://periscope.tv" class="">periscope.tv</a> and search for leaguepool. More historical match videos can be found by selecting one of the videos and then clicking on “Argonne Pool League”.</div>

<div class=""><b class="">Dave is stepping down.</b> Effective in the fall of 2019, Dave Stevens will no longer be assisting in running the league. Dave has done a great job and was key in revising the spreadsheet that we use to run our league. Thanks to
Dave for all his work. Jason Boggs will be replacing him. Jason has helped run the league in the past, so I expect we will have no problems and he and I will be able to easily coordinate to keep things running smoothly. </div>

<div class=""><b class="">Pool Etiquette</b>. We have a friendly league and I think people generally get a long, but it’s probably not bad to review proper etiquette around the pool table. In general, try not to distract players by standing too close to the
table or moving around in the back ground. Be aware of players playing on nearby tables. Also slow play is an occasional complaint. Think about strategies as your opponent is shooting and while an occasional long deliberation may be required, it should
not happen on every shot. Matches should generally take about an hour, sometimes a little more, sometimes a little less. If your matches regularly take closer to 2 hours, you are probably playing too slow. Here is a general review of etiquette from our
rule book:</div>

<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span class="" style="font-size:11px"><b class=""> Player Selection.
</b>Each team should have selected their player before the current match has completed in the event that they lose that match and are required to declare their player. The point is to move quickly from one match to the next. A team should take no longer than
one minute to select a player for a match.</span></p>

<div class="">
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span class="" style="font-size:11px"><b class=""> Be Ready.
</b>If you are going to be playing the next match, have your cue ready and be ready to play as soon as the previous match is over. When it’s your turn to play, that does not mean it’s time to go to the rest room, order another drink, make a phone call or get
involved in some other activity – go to the table and start playing.</span></p>

<div class="">
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span class="" style="font-size:11px"><b class=""> Stay By The Table.
</b>While playing, remain fairly near the table (but at least six feet back) and be ready to shoot when it’s your turn. Too many players continue to carry on conversations, light up another cigarette, order another drink or do something that slows the game
down.</span></p>

<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span class="" style="font-size:11px"> <b class="">Perform Your Duties Promptly.</b> If it is your turn to rack the balls, then begin racking the balls as soon as the previous game has ended. If you are the breaking player,
then use this racking time constructively to remove dirt or lint from the table, wipe the cue ball clean, change shafts on your cue, chalk your tip, powder your hands, clean your shaft, or any other necessary duties; don’t wait until after the balls are racked
and waste everyone’s time. Help the racker gather the balls from the pockets or from the other end of the table.</span></p>
