That's the one detail I really haven't worked out yet. There are pros and cons both ways. I'm starting to lean towards one big pool, but would love to hear feedback.

Just added another bounty - the Rainy Day Games triple ace bounty. This bounty will be paid out to the first player to grab three aces over the course of the season. The winner will receive a $50.00 Rainy Day Games gift card.

Rainy Day Games also kicked in a couple of sweet black 20th anniversary Echo Rocs that will be used for CTP prizes this year.

I say keep it one big pool. I think one big pool will make registration easier, and you won't hear complaints from those that feel they were "wrongly upgraded" to the A pool. I think part of the fun is having it be totally random, and then beating some of the "ringer pairings".

Thanks again for stepping up to run it this year. I'm excited to get out there on Tuesday (rain or shine!).

I support this post. I'm all for one big pool.

I agree as long as Jeff doesn't get mad when he draws ME.

It's really funny - I was expecting a lot of support for the A/B pool system, especially amongst players who would normally play in the B pool, but I've been asking around over the last few days and haven't found that to be the case.

With that in mind, and considering that the registration process will be much faster/smoother/easier with only one pool, that's exactly what we will do. At least for week one.

There are a couple other changes that will be enacted this year.

1) $10.00 will be kept out of each weeks payout and be saved for the finals. $10.00 x 18 weeks means there will be a pot of at least $180 to play for in the final week. The weekly payout and ace pot will be slightly smaller, but not too noticeable.

2) The playoffs will be expanded to include roughly 10% of the total field for the season, with a minimum of 12 players. If 160 unique players play at least one event, there will be 16 players eligible for the playoffs the final week. The only catch - you must play at least 10 weeks to make the playoffs. Last year we had 190 unique players. I'd love to see at least 200 this year, which would expand the playoffs to the to 20.

3) In what is believed to be a one-of-a-kind sponsorship, I've secured a unique deal with the National Weather Service to assure that there will be absolutely no wind at Orchard Park on Tuesday evenings between now and August 24th. You read that right - absolutely calm skies*. Come on out and let 'em fly.






* This claim is totally bogus. But you probably already guessed that. Besides, wind is one of the crazy things that makes Tuesday Twos so special.

I'm excited because it looks like I'm going to have some Tuesday evenings open (at least for the Spring) so I hope to see people tonight. And don't forget that if you get me as a partner that I might not be that good but I am being supportive as a sponsor :-)

The first of the season is in the books! Fun night, wish I could have helped my partner more but Emma was like all 'mother like' the whole round and threw me off my game. It was fun to be on the card with you and Jordan, Emma. Oh yeah, your Sham Wow is in your hand.

Thanks Scott for keeping it going.
