All score sheets are now in - the Tackle Box/Empire results are below.

Also - while Mike Dixon, Empire Captain, was at the Tackle Box, his cue came up missing. Last I talked to him it was still un-accounted for. I don't have any pictures of it to post yet, but here's a description from Mike: Burgoyne cue, blonde butt with fiddle-back maple, blackish/white silk wrap, with a 'B' engraved on the butt end. He is offering a $100 reward for its return, so check right here for more information to come. 

Here's a recap of last week:

The Oasis O-Team was home versus the Towne Lounge I team. The Lounge was up 8-4 at the break, thanks to Tony's 3-0 lead-off effort. Captain Mike and Slade got the beer frame for the home team, defeating Pat and Jason 2-0. In the bottom-half, Steve McGrill got 3 for the Lounge, and Mike finished off the night with 3 for the O. Final score: TLI 13, Oasis O-Team 8.

Also at the Oasis, the Dragons were home hosting the old Oasis Nugget team, the Down Lo Diamondbacks. It was 7-5 D-Backs in a fairly close first half, but it was all Down Lo in the bottom half as they wrapped up the night with a 15-6 win on the road. Mike Brandt, Kenny Duff, and Jimmy Scott all had 3-0 games. John and Jason of the Dragons couldn't get the beer frame as Paul and Kenny won 2-0.

Over at the Last Call, the Pocket Raiders were hosting the Eagles. In a very tight first half it was tied 6-6 going into the beer frame. Eagles lead-off shooter David got all 3 of his to start the night. David teamed up with Captain Jon to win the beer frame for the Eagles, beating Rob and Kevin L., 2-1. Andrew shot in the 5th spot, getting all 3 of his, propelling his Eagles squad to a 12-9 victory.

The Stickmen of Down Lo travelled upstairs to take on the Towne Lounge II players. Each of the first four TLII shooters got 2 points, making it 8-4 at the half. Scott and Madsack lost a close beer frame to Ed and Shawn, 2-1. Shawn stayed at the table and kicked some butt and got all 3 of his, but Madsack was up in the 6th spot and got 3 right back. Keith chipped in 2 more for the Stickmen making it a respectable game, 12-9 Towne Lounge II.

Downstairs the Playa's were home hosting the Oasis Bankers. It was all Playa's in the first half as they were up 9-2, thanks to Charles, Gregg, and Kevin getting all 3 of theirs. Kevin also had a break-and-run win in his match-up. Hugh got 2 of his for a bright-spot on the Banker's half of the score sheet. Charles and Mike got the beer frame against Mark and Bill, 2-0. Jason started the bottom half with another 3-0 win. Larry and Leo got 2 each to wrap up the night, making the final score 17-4 Playa's.

The Empire came to Chico to take on the Tackle Box last Thursday, but they forgot to bring the whole squad. The Empire only had 5 players but managed to squeak out 7 points to the Tackle Box's 14. Rich Jr. came up big for the 'Box geting all 3 of his games, as did Troy for the Durham club. Eric and Rick got the road beer frame win, beating Trevor and Zook.

Good luck in week #19, the Towne Lounge I team will be on their bye week.

Sorry - more late score sheets so no time for recaps or top shooter updates this week. All the stats and games are now in, so the standings page and individual stats are all current. Good luck this week (tonight), except for the Diamondbacks who are on a bye this week.

Here are the results from Thursday, 2/23/12 - minus the Towne Lounge I vs. Oasis Dragons match - no score scheet from the Lounge as of Wed., 2/29.

At the Oasis, the O-Team was hosting the Lounge II group. Brian, Sean Wasson, and James got all 3 for the Oasis club, and Steve Hale put up 3 for his team. Prana and Matt beat James and Slade for the beer frame honors, but the O-Team won for the night - 13-8.

The Eagles were home hosting the Tackle Box. Robin, Terry, and Captain Jon got all 3 of their matches for the Eagles, and Bob got 3 for the 'Box. The Eagles got the beer frame 2-0 as Jon and Donny beat Trevor and Zook. The Eagles ended the night on top, 13-8.

The Stickmen were home downstairs as the travelling Empire made the trip to town. The Empire came to play as Bob Cody wrapped up the first half with a 3-0 victory. The Stickmen got the beer frame as Madsack and Sundy beat Rick and Paul, 2-1. In the end it was Empire wth the win, 12-9.

Also at the Down Lo, the Diamondbacks were hosting the Oasis Bankers. The Bankers were fighting up hill the whole time, as the D-Backs jumped out to a 9-3 lead at the break. Mike Karol and Matt beat Bill and Mark in the beer frame, 2-1. In the bottom half, Rusty and Matt got 3 wins each to help the Diamondbacks to a healthy 16-5 win.

Over at the Oasis, the Bulldogs were home taking on the Down Lo Playa's. Dennis and Jim put up 3's to help the Bulldogs to an early 8-4 lead, threatening to derail the undefeated Playa's. Kevin and Leo got the beer frame against Dennis and Ed, 2-1. In the bottom half, the Playa's mounted a come back and got the final 8 of 9 points for a 12-9 victory. Leo got 3, Jason got 3, and Tom got 2.

As stated, no sheet from the Lounge I crew vs. the Dragons. I'll update when it's turned in. More money for the pool party!

Good luck this week. Happy Leap Day. The Stickmen are on the bye this week.

After a good week comes a bad week - the Tacklebox was back at home, as was the Diamondbacks. I haven't received scoresheets (as of Tuesday night) from either home captain, so penalty money will be collected this week, and I'll post scores as I get them. Probably no updates to the Top Shooter list, or individual stats this week because of it.

Here's the results from Thursday, February 16th:

The Stickmen were on the road celebrating Louis' birthday at the Eagles Hall last Thursday. In between cans of beer and pieces of cake, a game was played. It was tied 6-6 at the break thanks to the Birthday Boy's 3-0 win, and Robin's 3-0 win to tie it up. Louis and Sundy played the beer frame against Jon and Donny. Eagles won 2-0. In the 6th spot, Stickman Keith got 3 to help the Down Lo team to a 12-9 victory.

Over at the Towne Lounge, the TL1 team hosted the Oasis Bulldogs. The 'Dogs were up 8-4 halfway through, thanks to Dennis and Brian's 3-win efforts, and Stephen Wells got 3 to keep it close. In the bottom-half, the TL1 guys mounted a charge propelled by Howie's hat trick, but in the end Keith got 2 of 3 to get the 10th and 11th point, giving the Bulldogs an 11-10 win. Keith and Ty won the beer frame versus Jason and Kevin.

The Oasis O-Team was short-handed even after picking up newcomer Dave, and gave the Dragon's a 3 point gift. This helped the Dragons on their way to a 14-7 victory. Mike Clarke got all 3 of his, but so did Krad and Kenny for the Dragons. Jason and Steve couldn't get it going in the beer frame as they lost to Mike and Stacy of the O-Team, 2-0.

Also at the Oasis, the Bankers welcomed in the hot Towne Lounge 2 squad. The Bankers also didn't have a 7th player so the TL2 team got 3 the easy way. Paul Lampright, Matt Gabbard, and Ed Theis each got 3 points each to lead their team to a 17-4 win. The Bankers did get the beer frame as Mark and Bill beat Ed and Greg, 2 out of 3.

Again, no score sheet for the Tackle Box/Playa's match. Still waiting for the Diamondbacks sheet for their match versus Last Call.

The Last Call Pocket Raiders are on a bye this week, so they'll be singing karaoke at their bar while everyone else plays this week. Good luck to all!

...and the 2nd Half has begun. Here are the results from week #14:

The Oasis Dragons were home hosting the 1st place Playa's. The Down Lo got 10 of the first 12 possible points, thanks to Gregg, Mikie, and Leland's 3-0 efforts. In the beer frame, Jeff and Steve of the Dragons took care of Leo and Leland, winning 2 of 3. In the bottom frames, it was still all Playa's as they wrapped up the night with a 15-6 win.

Also at the Oasis, the Bulldogs were hosting the visiting Eagles. The final score was 14-7 Bulldogs, as Keith and Chris each got 3 wins, as did Terry for the Eagles. John and Terry couldn't pick up the beer frame win as Dennis and Ed Bowers got the Scotch doubles win.

Over on Park Ave., the Stickmen started the second half on the road at the Tackle Box. At the half, it was 7-5 Down Lo. Cele and Scott teamed up for the beer frame against the Tackle Box shooters Bob and Randy. The visiting squad drank for free, getting 2 out of 3. In the bottom half the Stickmen wrapped it up, winning 12-9 as Scott got 3 for the Down Lo, and Trevor got 3 for the Spinners.

At the battle of the bar, Towne Lounge I was squaring off against Towne Lounge II. TL1 shot out of the gates with a 9-3 lead, mainly due to Tony and Stephen Wells getting 3 each. Matt and Ed of the TL2 team got the beer frame win against Howie and Fahd. This must have been the momentum swinger as the TL2 team accomplished the comeback of the year so far. Getting 8 of the final 9 points propelled them into the lead, and the win, 11-10. Matt and Steve Swim got 3, and Greg Smith got the final 2 to end it.

At polar ends of the CMPL map, the Durham Empire Club welcomed in the weary travelers, the Last Call Pocket Raiders. It was all tied at 6 at the beer frame, as Paul Leroy got 3 wins just before the beer frame. Kevin and Jimmy got the always sweet on-the-road beer frame win against Paul and Bob L. In the bottom-half, Durhamites Rick, Bob Cody, and Bob Lithgow each got 2 wins to seal the deal, 12-9 Empire.

After a 3 or 4 day electrical issue, it came down to the wire and the Diamondbacks were able to play downstairs hosting the Oasis O-Team. In a very close match, both teams battled until the final shooters. Stacy and Kenny Duff each got 3 wins for their respective teams to make it 7-5 at the half, Diamondbacks up. Kenny and Izzy got 2 out of 3 in the beer frame against Slade and Troy for the win. In the bottom half, Slade and Troy played back-to-back getting 2 each, making the score tied 9-9. This left it up to the final shooters, and Captain Mike Karol came up big getting 3 out of 3 for the 12-9 Diamondback victory.

Thanks Captains for getting your scoresheets in on time - everyone will be rewarded with finally knowing the current standings and top shooter positions. It will be posted online, at the Oasis, and in your email box Tuesday or Wednesday. Please keep it up!

Good luck to all those except the Empire Club this week - the Durham squad will be on their bye week.

I still haven't received a score sheet from the Tackle Box for their match on 1/19 vs. the Diamondbacks. They say it's on the way, so depending when I get it, I'll try to update the Top Shooters list, Beer Frame Tracker, and hopefully get a hard copy printout for the Oasis with the updated standings on it. 

Here's a quick recap of the games in Week #12:

The Bankers were home vs. the Towne Lounge I. The Lounge was on fire as they were the winners 16-5. Pat got 3, Jason got 3, and Steve (or Stephen) got 3 (no last names or initials). Tony and Stephen beat Mark and Jim in the beer frame.

The Pocket Raiders headed downtown, downstairs to take on the Yankees Playa's. General Manager Kevin Cibart signed another free agent to his squad - welcome back Leo Oviedo. Terms of the deal have not been disclosed. In the match, the Playa's were victorious - beating the Last Call team 16-5. Charles, Kevin, and Leo each got 3 wins helping the cause. Leland and Kevin got the beer frame, too - beating Matt A. and Kevin L.

Upstairs, Ed's Towne Lounge II team welcomed in the Dragons of Oasis. Lounge II was up 7-5 at the break thanks to Prana's lead-off 3 spot. Ed and Shawn got a rare beer frame loss as John and Jason of the Dragons proved to be too much. Ed did strke back with 3 wins in the #5 spot, and Shawn and Steve cleaned things up for a tidy 13-8 Towne Lounge II victory.

The Eagles buzzed in the Empire CLub last Thursday, and it was a close match. The Empire was up 7-5 at the break thanks to Troy's hat trick. Paul joined Troy at the table as his scotch doubles partner, the Eagles fielded Andrew and Chris. The Empire won 2-0. Donny got 3 for the Eagles in the 5th spot, but Bob got 2 in the 6th spot for the Empire. That left it tied going into the final frame - but the Empire couldn't field a 7th player, giving 3 free point to the Eagles, making the final score 12-9 Eagles. 

Over at the Oasis, the Stickmen finally got to play on the big boy table - it's been a few seasons - as they took on the Oasis O-Team in a heated battle. In the first half, it was all Oasis as they were up 9-3 at the break. Brian Vignon was able to get all 3 of his games. Scott and Cele were able to provide free drinks to their team as they defeated James and Mike Clarke in the beer frame, 2-1. It could have been ugly, but the bottom half trio of Scott, Keith, and Madsack made it respectable, getting 6 of 9, and making the final score 12-9 Oasis. Keith got all 3 of his games to help the cause.

In a great matchup on paper, the Diamondbacks were home hosting the Oasis Bulldogs. Keith got all 3 of his games, helping his team reach 8 points at half time. Keith and Dennis beat the Mikes - Karol and Brandt - in the beer frame. The Diamondbacks couldn't field a 7th player, though, and ended up handing the 'Dogs 3 free points, and the game. Final score: Oasis 14, Down Lo 7.

That's the end of the first half for the Oasis O-Team - they have the bye in week #13. Everyone else will be finishing up half #1 this Thursday. All scoresheets were turned in perfectly this week - THANK YOU! - please keep it up and remember those penalties for not. At least give me a call and a lame excuse if you're in a jam.
