The Playoffs - 2nd Round
The next round of the playoffs will take place this Wednesday night after some truly great games on Sunday. Bull & Barrel Rising Stars were given an almighty scare by 3 Alley Seoul Misfits. Scrooge Pub Phoenix defeated Sin Bin Potato in rather fortunate circumstances after a terrific high quality match. Sin Bin Tomato took care of Shenanigans after a marathon 6 hour battle that ended in the small hours of Monday morning but topping the lot was Fat Albert's Scandal's comeback, trailing 7-2 to King Bar they rattled off 6 games in a row to triumph.
The fixtures are as follows:
Championship A:
Fat Albert's Scandal @ 3 Alley Seoul Misfits
Seoul Pub FUTA @ Dolce Vita Angry Birds
Sin Bin Tomato @ Scrooge Pub Wonky Triangles
Friend's The Pain @ Sin Bin Potato
Championship B:
Dolce Vita Sweet Life @ Bull & Barrel Ballistics
JR BBQ Troyjans @ Woodstock Al Korea
Hopefully Wednesday night's matches can live up to the high standard set on the weekend and of course, the very best of luck to all teams.

Special Captains' Meeting
We will have an extra captains' meeting this Sunday, November 29th at 2pm in Scrooge Pub.
This meeting will decide the format the league wants to run with next season. We have come up with 3 proposals (including one along the lines of the current system) that will be discussed, explored, ratified and packaged into a perfect system that will keep all teams happy (hopefully).
This meeting is very important to the future of the league and we would really appreciate it if every captain would make the effort to show up and share their ideas before voting. After the vote the captains can all head off to their various playoff dates.

A few things to let everyone know about:
JR Pub The Ace:
Sadly JR Pub The Ace have withdrawn from the league after having difficulties with player numbers. King Bar and JR Pub The Victory will receive 10-0 wins in the next two weeks for the games that were scheduled to be played against 'The Ace'.
The Executive Committee:
Ronan, Mark, Jumie and myself are happy to stay in our respective positions for 2016. However, this being a democracy, we also invite applications from others should they wish to stand for the various roles of President, Vice-President, Treasurer and Secretary next year. Please submit details of your proposed committee to me and I will inform the league and a vote will be taken at the end-of-season banquet on December 18th.
Steel Billiards:
A new pool hall has opened up just opposite Sin Bin and up the hill from King Bar. They are willing to let IPL members play there all day for 10,000won. The tables are of a high quality and the facilities comfortable. They are considering hosting a team or two from next season and they are wiling to talk to any team that may be looking for a new venue from next season. The address and phone number are as follows:
Steel Billiards
139-8 Jungeun Building
Itaewon 1 Dong

Friendly Pool League Clash with Anjeong-ri League:
We were hoping to have a friendly with Anjeong-ri League on Saturday 28th November at their place but because of the busy IPL calendar in late November and early December we have postponed this idea till January. Once myself and Jay from Anjeong-ri Pool League can agree some dates we will let you know.
