| | Congrats to Off The Rails for the big jump shot ...straight into first after their 5 ZIP win on Wednesday.
Look whats coming ..... Sharks chancing super hero's holding onto pocket rockets right up your @#$%...Have fun with that ;)
Bringing in a new player please call me so I can add player to your team, give correct average, number and email address to get weekly news letter.
Sub Player spot on a team is only to be used if you can't find a sub and have 3 player. Rules are simple:
* When filling in your roster the player with the lowest average goes first on your roster and he get the 1st & 4th extra game. Player two gets the second and three gets the third.
* Sub player always goes in the 4th spot
* Add the average of the 3 players together divide by 3 than put that average in the 4th spot as the sub player spot.
Once again there seems to be confusion on calculating stats we have never counted the break as a shot.
TABLE RUN : During your first attempt; you get all your balls in while some balls were already sunk by the opponent. We used to call this a First Attempt.
ERO : While all balls are on the table you get all your ballin on your first attempt. But didn't Break
BREAK & RUN : The player who breaks gets all his/her balls in. The game is over. This is better than an ERO.

Poor Sportsmanship will not be tolerated in CVPL
It's been a wail since we have had players bang heads or the odd bully pops up and needs to be reminded....playing in a organization is not a right it is a privileged. This league will not tolerate bad sportsmanship behavior, bulling, rude conduct to staff players customer.
Players that have been hurt by this have all right to inform the person they feel they have been bullied. If you feel this is something you want the board to deal with then bring it up at our meeting next week.
Wishing you all the best time all the table and remember we never lose ....we learn :)

I would all to take the time and read the Good Sportsmanship rules listed below.
Good Sportsmanship and League Play
Provided by the CCS - Canadian Cue Sport Association
It's the Good Sportsmanship displayed by everyone that makes League Play the fun and enjoyable experience that it's meant to be.
As strange as it sounds,
You can win the game and still be a LOSER
You can lose the game and still be a WINNER
In the game of life, it’s the sportsmanship that you display that makes all the difference.
WHAT IS GOOD SPORTSMANSHIP?
According to the dictionary, it’s:
…… “to treat with courtesy and respect”
…… “a reputation for being just, good, fair, etc.”
1.KNOW THE RULES
It’s to your advantage and your opponent does have the right for the game to be played by all the rules, regardless of whether you know them or like them.
2. ALWAYS GIVE YOUR BEST GAME
You may be… way better or way worse than your opponent,
You may be… on your game or totally off,
You may be…way ahead or way behind in the game or the match,
....but always give it your best shot!
3. NO “SHARKING” – WIN ON MERIT, NOT GAMESMANSHIP
What’s Sharking? Any unsportsmanlike act that serves to upset your opponent anytime during the game or their concentration while shooting. Here are a few examples you may have experienced yourself:
Acting Aggressive
Using excessive profanity
Making rude or sarcastic comments (e.g. "Don’t Miss!")
Smashing or throwing your cue or balls around, slamming chalk down, etc.
Stroking while your opponent is racking and / or breaking one second later.
Refusing to acknowledge an obvious foul or allowing a shot to be refereed.
Acting Annoying
Insisting on unnecessary repeated re-racks.
Deliberately and excessively slowing the pace of the game.
Making reference to a likely loss of game.
Making your opponent hunt for the chalk or the patch.
Seeing whether your opponent’s shot is makeable even when there is little likelihood of a foul.
Asking your opponent their shot when it’s obvious or before they’ve decided.
Complaints about (you name it) – the playing equipment, the playing conditions, the pool gods……….
Creating Distraction
Standing close to the table in your opponent’s vision.
Standing over the shoulder of the player when he or she is shooting.
Causing a sudden or distracting movement or sound….just as they’re shooting.
Continuing to talk to your opponent while they’re executing a shot.
Tallking loudly to others about the game or their opponent…
4. HANDLE DISPUTES THE RIGHT WAY
Disputes will occur and almost all involve a foul stemming from lack of rules knowledge or a judgement call. If it’s a judgement call on a shot; take note that it will always go in favour of the shooter unless the opponent has exercised the right of having it refereed.
Getting disputes settled out should be a straight forward matter:
STEP 1. The two players involved in a dispute “agree to disagree”.
STEP 2. The two players involved explain the dispute to their captains only!… and then the players are no longer involved. At no time is any other teammate or spectator to be involved.
STEP 3. The two Captains attempt to reach a reasonable agreement which will then be considered final.
STEP 4. If the two Captains “agree to disagree”, then the game automatically carries on in favor of the shooter.
STEP 5. A written Protest may be filed with the League Executive whose decision will be final including any impact it may have on Individual and Team standings. Their Ruling will take into account the display of any poor Sportsmanship.
5. IT’S ALL ABOUT COURTESY AND RESPECT
Do shake hands before and after a game….without having to chase you down.
Do pay attention to the game….(no one else can call a foul).
Do give your best game.. without gloating when you win or complaining when you lose.
Do acknowledge a well played shot or game or match…..
6. THE HOST CLUB AND THEIR EQUIPMENT
They sponsor and provide exclusive use of their facilities and equipment. Whether at home or away.. you represent your home/host club or bar. And just as your patronage is important to them, so is the display of good sportsmanship on your part and on the part of your teammates.
As always, Good Luck, Good Shooting and Good Sportsmanship! |
