Hi Captains,

Thanks for all your input at the captains meeting! Just to re-iterate and share with the teams that were unable to attend here is a recap of the changes to take place this year;

1- All teams will have a sign up fee of $80/team regardless of the amount of players. this way we can keep league fees at $5/player/night.
The following teams have paid - 8 Ballers, Thats my cue, Piper Down, Gentlemen Bastards,& Dirty Hookers. please include this with your 1st weeks stats.

2- If you scratch on the break it will now be ball in hand for your opponent (not behind the line)

3- Late fees for stats are now in effect, all stats and fees must be dropped off by Thursday evening or a $10 fee will be applied each time!

4- We will be trying to balance the team handicaps, so for the 1st half of the season you will be given a ranking between 6-9, this will be what all your players averages will be until the spilt, at which time the actual averages will take effect.
Dirty Hookers = 9
8 Ballers = 8
Rail Crew = 8
Ball Breakers = 8
Rolling Stones = 8
Piper Down = 8
Half Hitch Hustlers = 8
Gentlemen Bastards = 8
Sewer Kings = 6
That's My Cue = 6
Smashing Balls = 7
Last Station Shooters = 6

5- I will be sending out a sign up sheet for team shirts, these will be a pay for your own situation but i will be working on obtaining a bulk order and having them discounted, the sign up will let me know who to contact with the shirt options and how much interest there is, please fill this out on the first night of league and return it with stats.

6- i will be holding cue raffles again, but this year i will be selling more tickets per cue and the extra money above the cost will be put into the EOY party, this combined with team entries will be the best way to keep fees down so please let your team know. To purchase tickets please just write on the back of your scoresheet the names, and amount of tickets as well as include the cash in with the fees. once we have sold enough tickets the draw will be held live on FB (Canmore 8ball League) page. i will require a copy of your ticket to claim your winnings, or if they are purchased via scoresheet i will have written your name on it and will contact you or your captain.
$5/ticket, $10/3 tickets or $25/10 tickets

7- We will be removing the "feats" portion of our stats as this will allow everyone to have an opportunity to advance in the rankings as it will now come down to player average. I will however be tracking the feats on the side and can provide this info in the weekly emails. I will have an end of year prize for the player with the most feats so keep recording them!!

8- 2nd Racking In Rockies event is coming up in January again, we require 15 people to compete. i would like to know who is interested so i can start the qualifiers and get the teams made up. This is the event where Airdrie league comes out to challenge Canmore. I will have further details of the structure closer to the dates but it should run similar to the mosconi cup.

9- Scheduling, we now have 12 teams, and 4 venues, 1 of those venues has 5 teams so we cannot easily have home then away games, there will be times you are home or away more than 50% of the season. Also seeing as we do only have 12 teams we will structure a little differently, after the divide to A&B we will play each team twice and then move to play offs, this will keep the season close to the same as usual.

10 - A folder with enough stat sheets for the whole season, along with envelopes, shirt order form, & a rule book will be waiting for you at your 1st venue, please do not lose it!
