Important Update 21st February 2016:
King Bar has closed down from this week. For the remainder of the season King Bar's team will be moving to a new bar on the 3rd Floor of a building between Sin Bin and JJ's and this will be called King Pub. We understand that they are taking the table from King Bar to their new home. They will forfeit this week's game against JJ's the Pain but Fat Albert's Scandal and 3 Alley Seoul Misfits have games coming up at the new King Pub, so I would ask captains to inform their players of the change of venue.

Seollal - Korean Lunar New Year
We have decided not to play matches on February 10th. Although it is not an official part of the Korean New Year the government have added it as a holiday to make up for Sunday. Out of respect for those who may have to travel long distances at this time we will not play matches at this time. It does mean the season will be extended by an extra week and the end of season banquet will now be on June 24th. The turn around between seasons this year will be very short.
Team Fees
Please make sure your team has paid its fees in full (350,000won) by next Wednesday (January 27th). You can pay in person to Mark Jones at Scrooge Pub or ask a league official for the bank account details in order for you to transfer the funds.

2016 Itaewon Pool League Winter/Spring Season Organisational Meeting
at Scrooge Pub
January 6th at 7:30pm
To help with the promotion of the league we are, once again, featured in Groove magazine this month. Please check out the excellently written article by Liam Ring in print or online. There are also some excellent pictures taken by Nick Bruneau. Click this link.
And finally to help you get fully prepared for the new season we have been sent details (by Jonathan Soderholm) of a fantastic new pool hall called 'The Color of Money' in Ilsan. The club is run by Peter Cho, a professional 9-ball pool player and it has 8 Min tables that kept in excellent condition. The club does a decent burger, has San Miguel on tap and sells a range of top quality accessories and pool cues. More importantly Peter and his business partner Jean Koo offer pool lessons to help you cope with the rigours of facing the stiff competition thrown up by the IPL each week. These lessons are very reasonably priced and Peter is even willing to come to Itaewon to help out players from beginners to advanced. It's a brilliant opportunity to improve your game ahead of the regular season. Please feel free to check out the club and look it up on Facebook. With a name like 'The Color of Money' how can you go wrong.
