Rule clarification update –

Section:  Teams,  item# 2

Thanks to everyone who joined us at the Captain’s meeting & team registration last night!

The Captains voted on several topics, but there was only one change to the rules that passed for this season:

MVP award winners — the MVP awards will now be determined by most games won.

Previously, this award was determined by an individual’s win percentage at the end of regular season.  This will now change to whomever has the highest number of wins. (The player must still meet the minimum games played requirement to be eligible for any MVP awards.)

If there is a tie for 1st place, there will be a mini-match (race-to-2) between those two players to determine the top spot (most likely taking place at the MVP tournament).

[The new info will be updated in The Rules later this week]

JPF is happy to begin another season!

Our Captain’s Meeting & Team Registration event is tomorrow ( Tuesday, April 22 at 7:30pm) at

Sideline Sports Bar & Grill  — 7028 Santa Teresa Blvd, San Jose, 95139

Please go to our Events page for details.

The 2025 Spring season will begin Tuesday, May 6 !!!   So please contact us ASAP if you are a new team that would like to participate.

Looking forward to seeing you!

The payout sheets are now posted.  Please go to the Downloads page if you would like to take a look at what your team earned this season!  As always, the prizes will be awarded at the banquets.

Thanks to the people who participated in the MVP Tournament last night!

We saw a lot of teammates come out to cheer their MVPs on and that’s one of the things this league is all about!  Hopefully we have even more next time!

The Top 4 finishers were:

1st:  Rick Badertscher  (Courts 2)

2nd:  Randy Cady  (Hyde Park)

3rd:  Steve Unterreiner  (Courts 1)

4th:  Mike Woo  (Sportsmen 0)

Congratulations to all for bringing such a strong level of skill and sportsmanship to the league!

We are quickly approaching the end of the regular season – as always, double check the stats and let us know of any errors right away so they can be corrected in time for Playoffs.

Captain Vote Needed:  In the interest of awarding all teams with higher cash payouts this season, JPF would like a vote on whether or not we should lower the number of team trophies given out at the banquets.  We would like to suggest team trophies only for the 1st Place finishers in Regular Season and 1st Place finishers in the Playoffs.  Please text the league phone with your vote (or alternative suggestions).

*** There are a lot of events happening throughout the rest of the season, so please keep an eye on the website! (Click on the links below for more details)

• The MVP Tournament — as discussed in the Captain’s meeting, each team may enter one teammate into this tournament, and they must have played at least 16 games to be eligible.
• The Playoffs — there will soon be a Playoff Page that appears in the Main Menu, where you can keep up with all the info and matches.
• The Captain’s Tournament — This tournament is only for Captains or Co-Captains! (One entry per team)
• Awards Banquets & Tournaments — All JPF members for this season are welcome to come enjoy the free food and fun competition in the open tournament! Each division will have its own individual banquet & tournament.

Thanks for your participation and we hope to see you at the upcoming events!

This marks the end of the first half of the season and of 2024!

Please remember to check for any stats errors and notify the league.  They will be corrected right away.

JPF hopes everyone is having a great holiday season!

Welcome to the start of another new season with JPF!

As some of you already know, this will be the first season that we will be introducing a third division!  Many people have commented on the extreme length of previous seasons, so we have decided to test out a three-division system, which will shorten the amount of weeks in our regular season.

Our Week 1 matches begin this Tuesday, November 12.  All league and division schedules have been posted!  (The format is a little different than last season, so please read carefully.)

CAPTAINS:  Your folders will be at your Week 1 match locations !!!  Please ask the bartender to help you locate them when you arrive.  Contact the league if you have questions  ( 669 – 786 – 4926 )

P.S.  JPF is now allowing teams to pick their own team names!  Please text or email the league the new info.

Thanks for your participation & good luck to all !

The final results for the regular season have been posted.

Captains — Please check with your teammates about spelling errors in their names !!!   We use the names on the stats sheets for trophy orders.  If any corrections need to be made, please text the league number ASAP.    669 – 786 – 4926

Everyone will now be able to view the Playoffs page, which contains a lot of information.  We will keep this page updated as we go through Playoff weeks.

Thanks to everyone for playing with JPF Pool League !!!

We are finally here at the end of a very looooong regular season!

PLEASE turn in your Week 26 scoresheets and remaining dues by the usual deadline –

THURSDAY NIGHT BEFORE THE SPORTSMEN’S LOUNGE CLOSES !!!   (Same deadline for digital turn-ins!)

JPF will not accept late turn-ins the last week! If your turn-in is late, you will automatically lose your “envelope bonus” points for the second half of the season (which can make a difference for team placement), and possibly additional penalties as well.

Final scores must be calculated and posted quickly because Playoffs will begin immediately (September 10).

Thank You everyone for your continued participation with JPF Pool League!!!

Due to the changes in ownership at the former Triple Threat Bar & Grill, their A division team will be changing host bars to The Sportsmen’s Lounge for the remainder of this season.

Their new team name is  Sportsmen 1  (not to be confused with Sportsmen 0 ).

The schedule has been updated.

Unfortunately, the 49ers team has been dropped for the remainder of this season due to lack of players.

What does this mean for the teams that still had matches to play against them?

The Captain will fill out a scoresheet as if those matches were FORFEITS:

You will still collect $50 from your team, and you will distribute 15 wins on the scoresheet.  Envelope deadlines are still the same for the week. (Yes, you may use the digital turn-in option if you prefer.)

The required minimum amounts of games to qualify for Playoffs and MVP has been adjusted to account for the change in total possible playable games.

If you have any questions, please Contact Us.

The Week 13 stats have been posted, and this marks the end of the first half of the regular season!

To any Captains who have never been late with an envelope turn-in ~~~ you just earned two bonus points for your team!!!  This bonus will be awarded again at the end of the regular season to any team that has zero late envelopes in the second half.  Don’t throw away your chance at free points — get everything in on-time!!!  [ A full envelope turn-in consists of a correct & completed scoresheet & your team dues ]

This is also a good time for teams to review their team stats in detail, making sure that you will be able to get enough players qualified for the Playoffs in September  (and MVPs for the players who have high win-percentages already).

If help is needed in figuring out the numbers, please Contact Us.

Thanks for your continued participation!
