League N o t es No FALL ACS LEAGUES TO GET UNDERWAY! As summer comes to a close, it’s time to start thinking about fall leagues. We have had quite a few leagues already playing this summer. The Midway in Oregon City, The Nite Hawk in North Portland, City Lights in Tacoma and some of the Central Oregon establishments have all been hosts to summer play. It seems to be a toss up as to whether pool players would like to take the summer off so to speak. Well for those of you who have been focusing on barbecues and other sunny day activities, I say dust off those pool cues! The month of September has leagues beginning in Astoria/Seaside, Longview/Kelso, Eugene/Lane County, Vancouver, Beaverton and a new Midway (Oregon City) league. Beaverton will also be running a Junior League for the third year. October will kick off Olympia, Federal Way and another Nite Hawk session. If you don’t see your area - don’t despair; some of your operators are still finalizing their schedules. Please contact them, or your league officers, show your interest and we’ll be happy to get you the information you need to participate. Remember for those of you who are true pool junkies and want to play in many leagues, your initial one time membership dues enables you to play in as many different sessions and different leagues as your heart desires. I look forward to seeing you all at the regional tournament. Speaking of which, the dates have been confirmed for the 15th through the 20th of April, 2008 at Little Creek Casino Resort. Events will include Scotch, singles - both 9 ball and 8 ball and 8-ball 4 person teams. Once again, our partnership with Little Creek and High Country Promotions will allow us to put on a great, professionally run tournament with added money as last year of at least $12,500.00. Lastly, don’t forget that as a qualified Pacific ACS member you are also eligible to play in the ACS National event in Las Vegas in June 2008. I encourage each of you to visit the Pacific ACS website at PacificACS.org for more information and contacts. Contacts are also listed in this paper in the leagues section. Welcome back to all of our returning players and welcome aboard to all our new ones. I’m sure you’ll find the American Cuesports Alliance the premier organization which you can be proud to be a part of! See League Operator List page 28

and we found a Popular table which he shows several views in this article. The legs have a lot of missing veneer but I redid one and have all the patterns. We chatted many time and emailed each other. On a Friday when the Misc. lottery was in 7 figures and Power Ball was way up there we both wondered how it would change our lives. He told me that he might give up the real world job but never the tables; my same sentiments. It’s just too much fun. If you haven’t Watched the changes it the sight lately do it today. It is just too good to miss. You might see me on there soon. and the old Cue Tips show that I did on the radio 10 years ago might just be back as a call in delight.
