A message from Jason Braedon from Sin Bin
Jason Braedon from Sin Bin will soon be leaving the country. He asked me to post the following message on his behalf. Since I am a benevolent leader, I agreed to post it. And here it is:
"As most of you know, I'm leaving Korea this month permanentlyÂÂ and I'm having a few farewells with different groups that I've been part of for a long time. I've had many fun, perhaps too many, fun nights with the pool league and many of you. I will be gone before the pool banquet so to say goodbye we will be hosting a pool tourney at Sin Bin on Saturday June 10th @3:00 pm. Entry fee will be 10 000 per person, I will add money to the winner's pot, and some beer for everyone as well. Hope that you can come by, have a brown pop or two, great conversations and memories, and play some pool!
Jason"

End of Season Blind Draw Doubles Trophy Tournament
The End of Season Blind Draw Doubles Tournament will be held Saturday, June 3rd.
As with all of our league doubles tournaments, players will be paired up using a blind draw, with one from the top half of the ratings, and one from the lower half of the ratings. It is absolutely free to any player who has played at least 5 matches (5 separate weeks) this season. Trophies will be awarded at the banquet to the top three teams in the tournament.
Signups will take place from 3:00 - 3:45 pm at Wolfhound. The tournament will start as close to 4:00 pm as possible. Remember that it is a doubles tournament, so we need to have an even number of players. If there is an odd number of players signed up, the last person to register will not be able to play, unless they can muster up one more player or convince some poor sap to drop out.
The tournament will be played at Wolfhound and Bulldog.
Come out for this most social of tournaments!

End of Season Blind Draw Doubles Trophy Tournament Results
We had our End-of-season Doubles tournament last Saturday at Wolfhound and Bulldog.
A total of 29 players showed up, but since it was a doubles tournament, we needed an even number of players. Jim Dewey HOF graciously volunteered to drop out of the competition.
So, with a total of 28 players, we were able to cobble together 14 teams.ÂÂ
Here are the results:
1st Place: Doo Mann Lim (King Pub The King) and Jon Bell (Bull and Barrel Misfits)
2nd Place: Chris Dews (Scrooge Pub Wonky Dics) and Joe Tetrick (Phillies Frigates)
3rd Place: Yong Keun Seo (KIng Pub The King) and Sheery M. Ashraf (Sin Bin Bombadeers)
The above winners will receive trophies at the end-of-season banquet.
Thanks to all the participants, the two venues (Wolfhound and Bulldog), and to Chris Dews and Dominic Johnson for their help. And a special thank you to Jim Dewey HOF for his generosity.
