 TABLE TALK 3/16/26: Playoffs, Tournaments, Events & Table Talk |
I am pleased to announce that we are renewing the weekly SDPL newsletter Table Talk. Going forward, Table Talk will be the Board's primary news outlet, so you will see far fewer SDPL email and text messages. Tom King will be the "publisher." The newsletter will contain league announcements, such as the tournament schedule and other events, the prior week's team results, each division's Top 10 list, financial reports, rule Q & A’S and other items of general interest. We will post Table Talk to the SDpool.org/NEWS page on Monday afternoons. I encourage each player to take a few minutes every week to keep up to date on league news.
Thank you,
Curtis Moore
President, San Diego Pool League
Playoff Scheduling Challenges
Playoff scheduling has become more complex due to limited venue availability and their APA/BCA league commitments, and limited time between season end and the West Coast Challenge (WCC). You’ll note Women’s playoffs on a Saturday, Individual playoffs on Father’s Day, and final two team playoff matches on the same Sunday as Rising Star. The tournament dates below are the best available and final; players pursuing WCC qualification via our team and individual playoffs should plan accordingly.
PLAYOFF TOURNAMENTS & OTHER EVENTS
I am pleased to announce the Spring tournament schedule and other SDPL events. Please put them on your calendar and adjust your work/personal schedules if you plan to attend.
Eligibility reminder: To play in the playoffs, you must have played:
- Team playoffs: 25% of possible games
- Tournaments:50% of possible games as of tournament date
