Los Angeles Pool League

Dear Members,

Please join us in celebrating last season's achievements and the start of our new season on Tuesday, March 5 at Crown City Billiards (formerly Jerry's) at 1312 Lake Ave, Pasadena. As previewed in our last email, our new season will start on March 12. We will likely send out schedules and rosters by March 8. 

Members' meeting at 7pm 

Mandatory for captains, open to all LAPL members and new prospects. Please attend if you are still looking for a team for spring season. We have 12 confirmed teams and potentially one or two more forming. 

Per our bylaws, please submit any new motions at least 48 hours in advance to the BOG at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. We will discuss and vote during this meeting. 

Awards Party at 8pm 

2 tables will be open for free play for 2 hours, starting at 8pm. 

Each attendee will be gifted 1 free raffle ticket and 1 drink ticket. Raffle tickets will also be on sale so you can cash in on all those gift certificates (or end up with that random raffle gift that will sit in your closet for decades)! Please note that no food will be provided; however, feel free to bring any small bites if you are inclined. 

As per usual with a slight change, last season's captains are expected to bring a gift (or gift certificate) worth $20, and for this season, the league will add ten $20 gift certificates for the awards party raffle. Some teams have already pre-paid, which is appreciated. If overpaid (40 instead of 20) please consider donating the surplus to the league or we can reimburse you. 

For Captains 

Please remember to bring your registration fees and new team rosters with names, phone numbers and emails. At the last Members' Meeting, the board and members discussed and voted to change membership registrations to $100 up front, and $20 weekly during the regular season and playoffs, similar to other leagues. In this way, people will pay to play each week, and people who don't play as much will pay less. At the meeting we will discuss weekly payment methods such as using Zelle and Venmo. Finally, as a BCA league we collect $20 per player to be registered in BCA at the start of every new calendar year. This money goes directly to BCA. 

In sum, please calculate and bring $100 team registration plus $20 per player in your team. 

A big THANK YOU to the current board for all the (voluntary!) blood, sweat and tears involved in making all this happen. Big thanks as well to Arturo who has done so much for the league for many years. 

Cheers,

Saeromi, Steve, Jon, Al, and Bryan

Dear Members,

We are just about to the end of the Fall 2023 Season of play!

Congratulations to The Sooeeze (Ray Brewer) for winning the team playoffs!

An important update, to keep things consistent with last year's Non-WCC season the board has decided that any member in good standing who played games in the Fall 2023 season is eligible to participate in the Open Individuals or Women's tournaments! There is no minimum game requirement. The board would like to see a great turnout on Saturday!

The Open Individuals will be at Crown City Billiards (Jerrys) on Saturday February 3rd. Registration and practice will be from 12-1pm, with play starting at 1. The Women's will have registration from 2-3pm with play starting at 3. The Hi-Lo, Individuals and Womens go down in the history books for the league.

I look forward to seeing everyone on Saturday so we can make this a great tournament!

Crown City Billiards (Jerrys) will be hosting an event on Sunday with the billiards legend Mike Massey. Please see the flyer for details! Mike is awesome to watch! Please make sure to thank Crown City for being a great sponsor to the LAPL!

Thanks,

Bryan Haneiwich
