Saturday witnessed the final doubles tournament of the season and 26 people put themselves forward for honour, glory and possibility of making new friends. There is always a great atmosphere at these tournaments and those present were proud to watch the rebirth of Lenny Erickson as a force to be reckoned with and witness the emergence of a man who is determined to collect as many trophies as possible this season, namely Ahmed Khan. They defeated the stern challenges of Nick Miller & Kevin Gamad who in turn, rather fortuitously, beat Dominic Johnson & Paulino Torrico. Thanks to all those who help out in the running of the tournament, especially Lenny, Ronan and Mark. Trophies will be presented at the banquet.
1st Place: Lenny Erickson (Shenanigans Boomtown Rats) & Ahmed Khan (JR Pub All Stars)
2nd Place: Nick Miller (Sin Bin Potato) & Kevin Gamad (Bulldog Estyle)
3rd Place: Paulino Torrico (Bulldog Estyle) & Dominic Johnson (Sin Bin Potato)
In addition to all the fun and games at the tournament special congratulations go to Justin 'Mantis' Kim, who won a new Seybert's cue courtesy of the special raffle organised by the IPL and Paul Riddle.

This Saturday, June 4th, sees the End of Season Doubles Trophy Tournament being played at Bulldog & JR BBQ. Sign ups will be in Bulldog from 3pm. Play will start as close to 4pm as humanly possible.
Entry is free to all players who have competed in at least 5 separate matches this season and each player will be randomly paired with a partner. We will partner a higher ranked player with a lower ranked one to avoid mismatches.
There will be raffle at the start of the tournament as Paul Riddle is, rather generously, giving us the chance to win a brand new cue, leather case and a box of chalk (worth a combined total of $300) from Seyberts. You can purchase tickets for the raffle tomorrow night from a member of the executive committee or before the tournament on Saturday. Tickets will be 5,000won each and profits will benefit the league.
I hope to see many of you there on Saturday.

Many thanks to all those who played in the Mid-Season Singles Tournament and/or attended the Captains' Meeting this past weekend.
Special thanks to Bernard for his computer wizardry, Ronan for helping organise the Lower Bracket, Russell and Sam for keeping me updated and Lenny for being my stand in secretary on Sunday. Many thanks to the 5 bars who graciously welcomed us over the weekend. Sin Bin, 3 Alley Seoul, JJ's and JR Pub were very obliging hosts on Saturday and King Pub provided a very relaxing venue on Sunday.
As for the tournaments themselves the Upper Bracket was won by some lucky bugger who complained about being sick in order to evoke sympathy from his opponents. To be fair he did play well in patches but did get the rub of the green against the excellent Jang Joon Min and the new exciting talent of Bong Bong. The Lower Bracket was particularly tough this time round with a few 8 ball runs recorded. The brilliant Ahmed Kahn defeated the dogged and determined David Zoo in the final after David had earlier eliminated the fantastic new Potato signing, Andrew Kinlan.
Upper Bracket:
1st Place: Dominic Johnson (Sin Bin Potato)
2nd Place: Bong Bong (Scrooge Pub Phoenix)
3rd Place: Jang Joon Min (Scrooge Pub Phoenix)
Lower Bracket:
1st Place: Ahmed Khan (JR Pub All Stars)
2nd Place: David Zoo (Sin Bin Tomato)
3rd Place: Andrew Kinlan (Sin Bin Potato)
