End of Season Details
It's end of season time and the league official(s) will be making their way around the battle grounds on Wednesday night with details about the playoffs, the banquet, awards and end-of-season tournaments. Before we do that, here is a brief precis of the delights coming your way in the next month:
Playoffs will begin next weekend. June 5th is the designated day for the first round of the playoffs but teams might have to be a little flexible given that there will almost certainly be clashes of venue and the fact that it is a holiday weekend. Matches can take place on Monday 6th June (Memorial Day) if teams are willing.
The 'End of Season Doubles Trophy Tournament' will take place next Saturday June 4th at Bulldog and JR BBQ. Sign-ups will be in Bulldog from 3pm. Any player who has competed in 5 separate matches this season is eligible to enter the contest. Pairs will be drawn at random and an upper bracket player will be paired with a lower bracket player to avoid superhero partnerships.
The 'End of Season Singles Money Tournament' will take place on June 11th at Dolce Vita, Scrooge Pub, Shenanigans and Fat Albert's. Sign-ups will be in Dolce Vita at 3pm and once again players who have competed in 5 separate matches this season are allowed to compete once they have parted with 10,000won of their hard earned cash. Full details of that tournament will be posted next week.
The Winter/Spring 2016 IPL Banquet will take place at the Crown Hotel from 7pm on Friday June 24th. We will be awarding trophies, reviewing the new style season and providing quality food and beverages all for your enjoyment.
One of the finest players to have graced the league in recent seasons, Paul Riddle, has become a Seybert's representative. He is now able to provide quality pool equipment to you at around cost price. He will be bringing some of his toys to the banquet for a short presentation and you can also contact him directly if you are interested in any of the products in the Seybert's range.

End of Season Doubles Trophy Tournament
This Saturday, June 4th, sees the End of Season Doubles Trophy Tournament being played at Bulldog & JR BBQ. Sign ups will be in Bulldog from 3pm. Play will start as close to 4pm as humanly possible.
Entry is free to all players who have competed in at least 5 separate matches this season and each player will be randomly paired with a partner. We will partner a higher ranked player with a lower ranked one to avoid mismatches.
There will be raffle at the start of the tournament as Paul Riddle is, rather generously, giving us the chance to win a brand new cue, leather case and a box of chalk (worth a combined total of $300) from Seyberts. You can purchase tickets for the raffle tomorrow night from a member of the executive committee or before the tournament on Saturday. Tickets will be 5,000won each and profits will benefit the league.
I hope to see many of you there on Saturday.

Mid-Season Singles Results
Many thanks to all those who played in the Mid-Season Singles Tournament and/or attended the Captains' Meeting this past weekend.
Special thanks to Bernard for his computer wizardry, Ronan for helping organise the Lower Bracket, Russell and Sam for keeping me updated and Lenny for being my stand in secretary on Sunday. Many thanks to the 5 bars who graciously welcomed us over the weekend. Sin Bin, 3 Alley Seoul, JJ's and JR Pub were very obliging hosts on Saturday and King Pub provided a very relaxing venue on Sunday.
As for the tournaments themselves the Upper Bracket was won by some lucky bugger who complained about being sick in order to evoke sympathy from his opponents. To be fair he did play well in patches but did get the rub of the green against the excellent Jang Joon Min and the new exciting talent of Bong Bong. The Lower Bracket was particularly tough this time round with a few 8 ball runs recorded. The brilliant Ahmed Kahn defeated the dogged and determined David Zoo in the final after David had earlier eliminated the fantastic new Potato signing, Andrew Kinlan.
Upper Bracket:
1st Place: Dominic Johnson (Sin Bin Potato)
2nd Place: Bong Bong (Scrooge Pub Phoenix)
3rd Place: Jang Joon Min (Scrooge Pub Phoenix)
Lower Bracket:
1st Place: Ahmed Khan (JR Pub All Stars)
2nd Place: David Zoo (Sin Bin Tomato)
3rd Place: Andrew Kinlan (Sin Bin Potato)
