Is Pool A Sport? Examining the Age-Old Debate
Here is a very interesting article on the question of how the game of Billiards or Pool is classified. This post was found and suggested by our friend Vince Tamburo a member of the Mangini’s team. It is a very interesting topic and includes a video with Mike Sigel discussing why pool is such a great sport. This is worth your time. Click the title above and enjoy.
American Poolplayers Association – APA
2024 Poolplayers Championships
Many of our members also play in the APA. For those of you that are interested the 2024 final Championship matches can be viewed here.
After several decades of leadership, sad news.
As our Captains know I have decided to leave my role as League Administrator after this session. I will remain as Captain of the ChixnStix and enjoy playing in the League.
By Captains vote Tom Howard will be replacing me as he graciously agreed to be the successor subject to the Captains approval which was unanimous. Tom and I will select a date for the Captains meeting for next session but it will be sometime in June. At Tom’s request I will continue to run our season ending tournament and in early June will be asking Captains to get me the names of players who will be participating. We will use the format we used last tournament, 4 groups playing on 2 tables each.
I am looking forward to a stress-free last couple of months as LA. Thanks.
