Mid-Season Singles and Captains' Meeting
This Saturday, April 2nd, sees us play out the traditional Mid-Season Singles Trophy Tournament. The tournament will be split into upper and lower brackets. Any player who has competed in three separate matches this season can play free of charge. Trophies will be presented to the top three players in each bracket.
Date: April 2nd
Bars: Sin Bin, 3Alley Seoul, JR Pub & JJ's
Sign-ups: In JJ's from 3:00-3:45pm.
Play: From 4pm across the 4 bars.
The mid-season captains' meeting will also take place this weekend. It will be on Sunday, April 3rd, at the rather lovely, and very new King Pub at 4:30pm. It would be nice if all the captains can join us or send a representative for your team along to debate the issues in the IPL.
Last Saturday saw the Mid-Season Doubles Money Tournament take place in Upper Deck and Bull & Barrel. 38 players took up the challenge, the biggest of which was the distance between the two bars, but a good time was had by all at this most friendly of tournaments. Play finished close to midnight and the doubles queen herself, Maki Dejamak, and the resurgent Duncan Smyth took the title on the final blackball from the Phoenix dream team of Bong Bong and Sonya Ryu. Many thanks to all those who helped me in running the tournament especially Ronan, Lenny, Russell, David Zoo, Mark Barnes and Jim McParlin(for not losing the money). Thanks also to the Upper Deck and Bull & Barrel for being the warmest and most welcome of hosts.
1st Place: Maki Dejamak (JR Pub Troyjans) & Duncan Smyth (Sin Bin Potato)
2nd Place: Bong Bong & Sonya Ryu (Scrooge Pub Phoenix)
3rd Place: Lenny Erickson (Shenanigans Boomtown Rats) & Carnival Lee (Scrooge Pub Phoenix)

The fee for competing in the tournament is 10,000won and any player who has played 3 separate weeks of this season is eligible to enter. The prizes on offer are as follows:

The tournament will be seeded and a highly ranked player will be partnered with a lower ranked player to negate the possibility of superhero pairings. Players will gain or lose ranking points depending on their performance in the event.
It's a great chance to meet new people, socialise (drink beer) and take home a bit of cash. I hope to see many of you there.

King Bar Changes
Important Update 21st February 2016:
King Bar has closed down from this week. For the remainder of the season King Bar's team will be moving to a new bar on the 3rd Floor of a building between Sin Bin and JJ's and this will be called King Pub. We understand that they are taking the table from King Bar to their new home. They will forfeit this week's game against JJ's the Pain but Fat Albert's Scandal and 3 Alley Seoul Misfits have games coming up at the new King Pub, so I would ask captains to inform their players of the change of venue.
