Hey Captains!

We are now halfway through the season.  This is a good time to double-check things like the spelling of player’s names and how many more qualifying games each person needs for Playoff participation or MVP eligibility.  Don’t forget about your bye week during calculations!  Let JPF know if you need help figuring out the numbers.

Thanks for your continued participation!

 

 

JPF hopes everyone has been having a safe and joyous holiday season!!!

All stats have been updated, and we will be resuming our regular match schedule on January 6th.

See you all next year!

 

Hello new & returning teams!

There were a few topics voted on at last week’s Captain’s meeting.  These are the changes taking effect for the 2025 Winter Season:

• The league will be going back to the 2-division system ( A & B ).
• The Playoff Championships round will now be single-elimination, same as the quarter- and semi-final rounds have been.

These changes will be updated in The Rules before the season begins.

—————————————————–

~ Each Captain’s Folder will be delivered to your Week 1 match locations ~

Please ask the bartender for it when you arrive.

The league schedule will be posted by Sunday, October 26.

If you have not already paid your registration fee, please contact the league for payment options.  Your receipt will be inside your folder.

If you have any other questions, please send the league a text or call:  669-786-4926

Thanks for your continued participation with JPF !

Thanks to everyone who came to the League Banquets!

We hope you all enjoyed celebrating the end of another season with JPF!

*** Attention Captains! ***

The regular season has finished and all stats are now posted!

The Playoffs page is also posted and appears in the dropdown menu.  This page will contain all Playoff info as we go through the match weeks.

Please note that Tuesday is our MVP Tournament!  Details are on the Events page.

Our Captain’s Tournament will take place after the Playoffs are complete, so keep an eye on the Events page for info.  As always, the dates for all league events are on the league calendar and can be found on the League Schedule page.  Details will be on the Events page.

 

The first half of this season is completed — time flies when you’re playing pool !!!

If you did not have any late turn-ins so far, you have received 2 bonus points for your team!

This same bonus will apply to the second half of the season too, but only if you have no late turn-ins.

Thanks for your continued participation and have fun!

A quick message to all:

Incomplete, incorrect and late scoresheets & envelopes delay stats reporting and the accuracy of those stats!

The Captains (or scorekeepers) must compare scoresheets at the end of the match — if they don’t contain identical info, then somebody made a mistake and it should be fixed before turn-in.  It is important to have a complete and accurate scoresheet, even if you were the away team !!!  Your scoresheets are the only records anyone has of games played for each league match.

There are examples of how to properly fill out a scoresheet on the Downloads page & in The Rules.

*** As always, the turn-in deadline is Thursday night, before Sportsmen’s Lounge closes! ***  (In the interest of fairness, this deadline also applies to digital turn-ins)

Thanks for your time & continued participation!

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 everyone for your participation this season!

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!

See you in 2025!!

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 !
