Play your way to Las Vegas through Singles Qualifiers!
Watch for qualifiers at host locations or hold your own. "For those of you who think you can not compete in these qualifiers, it is no different that playing your weekly matches...try it, you may surprise yourself!" -Virginia Jarosz, October Featured Player of the Month. Contact us for more details.
Featured Player of the Month
Terrie Johnson
Terrie is a 48 year old retired scientist. Since the age of 17, she has been beating the boys at pool . In the 90s she met her husband Donnie by beating him at pool. He claimed he let her win to recruit her into the league. Since then, she has played on numerous teams. Last year, she became team captain and got a great team together. She has led the team to the Money Cup win, a City Championship win, and now is headed to Las Vegas! The name of her team is, "Doing the Charleston." The team name is a finalist in the Vegas Team Name Contest. Let's support one of our own by voting for them at Poolplayers.com.
Because of her association with Charleston City Council and her team's winning the Las Vegas trip, they were invited by Mayor Riley to join him at the podium. Councilwoman Yvonne Evans, amazed that pool is such an organized sport, introduced the team and gave a nice speech about how pool evolved from the seedy bars of the old days to a sport enjoyed by people from every facet of life. Click here to see photos of the meeting.
If you would like to nominate a player for Player of the Month who stands out somehow such as great sportsmanship, knowledge of the rules, great team captain, great teammate, etc., please send your nomination to Shelby Bates.
A patch is awarded to the Most Valuable Player in each division broken down by skill levels. eg. 8-Ball 2-3, 4-5, and 6-7. 9-Ball: 1-3, 4-6, 7-9. These are the same categories as shown on the website. Patches are awarded after the last week of the regular session. Play-offs are not figured into the calculation for Most Valuable Player. Top Gun and Scotch Doubles divisions will not be awarded these patches. This patch is awarded to the player who has played a minimum of 7 matches and is calculated by (win percentage) x (Top Gun score) to determine points. The highest points per category is awarded the patch.
We will be holding a meeting this Saturday, November 7th, 1:00PM at North Park Grill to discuss the formation of a new parent/child Scotch Doubles division. If you are the parent or grandparent of a child under the age of 18 and would like to play as a team, please come to the meeting where we will discuss location (this will be in house), time, and format, as well as form teams. We are hoping to start play as early as November 14th. If you can not attend the meeting but still would like to play, please call Shelby @ 843-532-3126.

Mayor Riley extended his congratulations as well. View photos.
From here on out, we would like to invite nominations for the Player of the Month to be posted on the homepage of the website monthly. Players nominated before the 23rd of each month will be considered for the following month. Nominated player should stand out somehow such as great sportsmanship, knowledge of the rules, great team captain, great teammate, etc. We will not accept anyone who has been reprimanded for sportsmanship violations! It would be a major bonus to the admin if you could also send a digital photo with the nomination.
