The O-Team was up 7-5 at the break, and held on to win 11-10 in a close, back-and-forth match. Jason and John of the Dragons got the beer frame from Aaron and Mike, 2-0. Slade, the O-Team's #7 shooter, got the winning point in his first game of his match to seal the deal. The Stickmen were home at the Down Lo hosting the Eagles. The Stickmen started strong, going up 8-4 at the Beer Frame. Cele got 3 wins to lead off the night, and Louis got all 3 of his in the clean-up spot. Scott and Cele couldn't get the job done in the beer frame, as Donny and Jonny won the honors, 2-1. In the bottom-half, it was all Stickmen - winning 8 of the final 9 games. Wheez got 2, Madsack got all 3, and Scott finished the night with a 3-spot as well. Final score: Stickmen 16, Eagles 5. Way back in the corner at the Down Lo, the Playa's were also home hosting the Tackle Box Spinners. The Playa's came away with a huge victory, 17-4. Charles, Leland, Gregg, Mikie, and Amer all got 3-0 victories, plus Charles and Kevin won the Beer Frame 2-0. The 4 points scored by the Spinners all came from the same family - the Boelen Boys. Rich Sr. got a point, and Jr. came up big with 3 points. The Tackle Box will finally host their first home game in week #3 against the Eagles. Speaking of first games, the Oasis Bankers, who had a bye the first week, were on the road at Towne Lounge to play the Lounge II team. The teams were fairly close at the Beer Frame - the Lounge was up 7-5. Ed and Matt Gabbard beat Bill and Mark for the Beer Frame win, 2-0. Lounger Steve Swim came out swinging in the 5th spot, beating his opponent 3-0. Prana got 1, and Paul got 2, giving the Towne Lounge II the win, 13-8. The Last Call Pocket Raiders were home versus the heavy-hitting Down Low Diamondbacks. The game was officially won by the D-Bax at the Beer Frame - they were up 12-0 thanks to 4 shut out matches by Mike Brandt Sr., Matt Fields, Jimmy Scott, and Paul Airth. Apparently Mike Karol and Brandt felt bad about the quick win, and lost the beer frame 2-0 to Matt and Kevin. I can't tell from the score sheet if Izzy made it 14 in a row when he shot in the 5th spot, but none the less he got 2 more wins. Pocket Raiders Gary and Kevin L. made it a little more respectable as they finished strong getting 2 of 3 each. Final score: 16-5 Diamondbacks. Back at the Oasis, the Bulldogss welcomed in the Towne Lounge I squad. They weren't too hospitable - the 'Dogs went up 9-3 at the Beer Frame break, thanks to Keith and Chris' 3-0 showings. Pat and Tony did get the Beer Frame from the Oasis' Frank and Bryan, saving Stacy a few bucks. In the bottom 3 games, the Bulldogs almost swept it - getting the first 8 games, and losing the very last. Frank got 3, Bryan got 3, and Ty almost sealed it with 2 wins - Howie saved the sweep in the last frame. Final score: Bulldogs 17, Lounge 4. Hopefully your team did good last night - unless you are a Pocket Raider, you were on a bye week. I'll post week 3 scores from last night as soon as possible, hopefully no later than Monday the 7th. If you have any dues still to be paid, please take care of it ASAP. -Scott- Oct 25, 2011, 5:33 pm Hey Everyone- Hopefully it was a fairly stress-less start to the 2011-2012 season. It looks like everyone went to where they were supposed to go. Believe it or not, I still need to get money and rosters from some teams, listed below. Penalties (points and/or fines) will be initiated on Thursday if no attempt has been made. It is completely unfair to those that paid and made the effort to handle it on time, in addition to my hassles of being bill collector.
Tackle Box: 8 player's team dues and $40 bar fee
Oasis Bulldogs: 4 Players due, 4 Players paid, $12 credit
Empire Club: 7 player's team dues
Oasis Bankers: 7 player's team dues (haven't played yet, bye in week #1)
Oasis O-Team - Need to pay for Aaron (played beer frame on 10/20)
Towne Lounge I - Need to pay for Joe S. (played match on 10/20)
Please take care of this ASAP.

Here's what happened in week #1:
The Empire Club was on the road taking on the Last Call Pocket Raiders. Well, at least 2 of them were. The rest of the team didn't make it so the Last Call squad got an easy 11-0 win without even taking their cues out. No individual stats were recorded for the forfeit, and they opted not to play the beer frame. Hopefully everything is OK with the Durhamites - they are on a bye this week - hopefully this will give them time to get things sorted out. I'll let you know for week #3.
The Playa's were Down Lo hosting the Oasis Dragons. The Playa's were up 8-4 at the half, thanks to Tom LeClaire's 3-0 showing. Charles and Jason got the beer frame against Jeff and Aaron. In the bottom half, the Playa's kept pouring it on, getting 7 of the final 9 games. Larry Hiller got all 3 of his. In the end, it was Playa's: 15, Dragons: 6. Special note: Charles and Kevin each got 8-Ball Break-and-Runs ('B & R' boxes on your score sheets), starting off the season in style.
On another table at the Down Lo, the Stickmen were home hosting the new boys - the Tackle Box Spinners. Some familiar names are on their roster, though: Pops, the Boelen Boys (Jr. and Sr.), among others. The newer-looking Stickmen club were up 7-5 at the break, but Zook and Trevor beat Wheez and Madsack in the beer frame. In the final 3 frames, each team got 3-0 wins. Brian Norman and Wheez stepped up getting all 3 for the Stickmen, and Bob did the same for the 'Box. Final score was 13-8, Stickmen.
The third Down Lo team, the Diamondbacks (aka the Team Formerly Known as The Nuggets), were on the road at the Oasis taking on the O-Team. In a very close match, both teams were tied 6-6 at the beer frame. In the beer frame, Mike Karol and Paul teamed up against Aaron and Brian. The D-Backs came away with free beers. In the bottom-half, recently transplanted Brian Vignon got 2, and long-time 'O Troy got the deciding 3-0 victory in the 6th spot. Paul came back and got the final 3 to make it look close, making the final score 11-10 in favor of the O's.
Over at the Eagles Club, the 'Birds had some Bulldogs all over them. Thanks to B-Dog Keith's 3-0 lead-off performance, the 'Dogs were up 9-3 at the beer frame. The Eagles did strike back and get the aforementioned beer frame, as Robin and Rick beat Ed and Ty for the cold, frosty, free can of beer. The Eagles stayed stuck on 3 wins as the Bulldogs emphatically won the final 3 matches 9-0. Ty, Frank, and Steve won each of theirs 3-0, helping their team to an 18-3 victory.
Back downtown their was an in-house battle between Towne Lounge I and II. Both teams were locked at 6 going into the beer frame. Ed and new shooter Ben Beeler got the honors, beating Tony T. and an unknown player, in the scotch doubles match. In the second half, it was all Lounge II as newbie Ben got all 3 of his and Steve Swim got 2. Prana was waiting by himself at the table for the final match - the Lounge I squad didn't field a 7th, giving the Lounge II the victory - 14-7.
The new Oasis team, the Bankers, were on a bye this week, hopefully getting all their players in order. I'll post their players once I get a roster. The Empire Club will look to do the same this week, as they have the bye in Week #2.
Good luck this week - hopefully I'll have the above mentioned administrative work done and no penalties will be handed out. Again, I do appreciate those that have paid - thank you!!!

Oct 16, 2011, 12:13 pm ...still waiting for more rosters and payments. After I receive them, I will post the teams. EVERYONE: I'm looking for sponsors who want their business logo on our home page, like FunLand (who supplied paper and printing supplies for the binders - no fee to the league) and Mike Clarke's Chico Mobile Air & Auto Repair (big discount on meat for party last year). The spot will be $25 for the year. We have almost 15000 views so it is seen by many players and families. So if you run a business, or work for one, see if they are interested. Thanks! -Scott- Oct 14, 2011, 12:16 pm Crazy Horse is out - Tackle Box is in! Crazy Horse team will be moving and playing for Tackle Box in the 2011-2012 season.

Welcome to the 2011-2012 Chico Mens Pool League!
It's that time of year again - school's back in, football is here, weather's cooling off, and, most importantly - time for a new Pool League season! The website has been turned over to a new season, 2011-2012. Last year's schedule (and 2009-2010), results, and stats are still available, you just need to click on the year range at the top of the green column on the left-side of the screen. All the individual stats for 2010-2011 have been cleared and zeroed, and the schedule has not been made until we get a final confirmation and payment for the participating bars. Unless changed at the Captain's meeting for some reason, the first games will start on Thursday, October 20th. CAPTAINS- A few notes for you:
I have my concerns and points to bring up at the meeting, as I'm sure many of you do, too. Players (non-captains): don't forget if you want to have items brought up, talk to your captain, or become a registered user of this site and visit the 'forums' (left-hand column) where there is a thread for 'Suggestions For Next Season' (this season). The core subject for the meeting will be how to make the rules more standardized and concrete, to cover any or all situations, to make the game less stressful for everyone involved. In the past we were a simple league with simple rules, but now that we have moved into a more technical, rules-driven league, we need to make it more standardized. The proposed league rule book is cumbersome, but it is detailed, without much room for ambiguity. But please remember, this is a gentlemen's game, and superseding all rules is the core values of sportsmanship, recreation, and fun. Thanks for your time in reading this - hopefully you're looking forward to the upcoming season as much as I am. Again, please contact me if you have any questions: scoresheets@sbcglobal.net -Scott- Jun 1, 2011, 2:17 pm
