<description><![CDATA[ I was just wondering if any else plays in Mass and RI and the reason being that my RI stats seem to have my Mass stats added to them.  When I go to my Mass page my RI stats are not added to them.  I know that they are going to join everything in the coming year, just wondering how many players they have already done this to.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ This is merely my forth season in the league and I've noticed, in numerous occasions, when players simply gave up their games way too early in a match. Worse, they started cursing and blaming their falling behind on random excuses.<br /><br />I don't want to rant in public forum, but people, come on. We gather once a week to play pool, to socialize with friends, and to meet people you wouldn't meet otherwise. You will not improve if you never learn to play under pressure.]]></description>

Say it's a tues nite where the forfeit occurs in the final week. George would be notified on Wed. The playoffs need to be set up and mailed to reach captains on Sat. That doesnt leave much time to set up a make-up match that allows 10 of the 16 players to agree on a day/time. It's just a crappy problem that doesnt have a great solution.]]></description>

This league will be held every Sunday night.  All men and women in the league can bring all the clothes they own.  It is dual functioning because you also can get your clothes ready for the upcoming work week.<br /> <br />Don't worry sandbaggers I got you covered.  Now the dumping in this league will be as such:<br /> <br />men will bring one crappy shirt with all their good clothes they wish to have ironed.  When it is their turn to iron during their match they must burn thier one crappy piece of clothing they brought.  After this ploy the women will not let the men near their clothes while holding an iron.  They are guaranteed to be a 1 or 2 for the whole session.  Then once your team puts up a 6 or 7, a woman who is capable of a 5 shirt run, or a skirt blouse combo and you can get all your laundry pressed for free.<br /> <br />And I also propose a new law to be enforced throughout the USA, just like Scaramanga in the man with the golden gun, "Women should always wear bikinis, it reduces the chance of concealed weapons!"<br /><br />lol<br /><hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></font id="quote"></blockquote id="quote">LOL...Steve that is awesome..LMAO..I couldn't stop laughing while reading it...one question though, I don't own any button up work shirts, so my question is, would i still be performing the same correct sandbagging strategy if i burned a tank top in stead, or would that be considered a foul...lol]]></description>
