We have an 8-Ball pool league that was started a couple of years ago. Ten teams recently completed an 18 week schedule. It is handicap play based on 10 points for a win and the loser gets a score equal to the number of balls pocketed. Each five man team plays a round-robin with their opponent each week. The teams are from The Church Street Poolroom (2 teams, The Snack Shop (an establishment that has been in our town for 75 years and sponsors 2 teams), The Dot's (2 teams), Shennigan's (2 teams), the VFW Post and Tdhe Silver Dollar. The top four teams held a two week play-off where Pool Room #1 beat Shennigan's Best and Pool Room 32 beat the VFW in a close one. In the finals the #2 team edged out #1 by six balls after 25 games. The finals were played at Dot's in front of a huge crowd.
