Getting Ready for Team 9-Ball Regionals
I just wanted to fill you all in on my pool league team news.
I've been getting ready for the 9-ball Team Event Regionals this coming weekend and it has got me just drained.
We're 2 days away from our 1st match in Regionals and I couldn't be more stoked about it! Friday 7pm start time at City Lights Spirits & Pool in Downtown Tacoma.
I hate 7 footers because I can almost lay across the entire table, but on the other hand, I shoot flawlessly on those tables.
My load this week is light and my heart is racing super fast. I'm trying to calm myself down a bit but it's not working. Either way I know we'll do well.

Wow it sounds like you are on a good natural high right now. You sound so positive and that's great. Never lose that positive feeling.
You probably don't need it but i'll wish you luck anyways. Skill will always win out over luck anyways.
You have fun and whip some behind and be sure to give us all a full report.
Have a great time.

I don't handle the 7 foot tables very well. Everything is so tight and clustered. I imagine if I spent a lot of time on the smaller tables it might improve my straight pool.
shexcpoolgawdess on 6/4/2007 1:56:22 PMWe did it! WE WON! We're going to nationals this year for 9-ball!
So my team did well. We lost our first match and was put in the losers bracket early. But fought back from the losers bracket and won it all. We even put the team out that put us in the losers bracket so that felt pretty damn good.
So A-Train, I guess we'll have to hook up and shoot some pool when I get to Vegas. hahahahaha.
We will fly in on August 16, the day before Nationals start, and we fly out the day after the last day of the Nationals event on the 21st.
So I'll be there for six days, playing in the mini tournaments, kicking ass in match play, and having fun with the fellas on my team.
Thanks for the support guys. YOU'RE AWESOME!
Its good to get back and beat the team that put you in the losers bracket. Justifies all the hard work!
A-Train on 6/4/2007 10:42:53 PMOh snap!
You gotta take it easy on me though. I don't wanna have my back side handed to me too badly.

@Bishop - Oh yeah it felt so good, and ill tell you one thing I don't feel bad about the other captains mishap during our third match. My 3 shot and won and when match was called by us she refused to end the match thinking that he was a 4. Little did she know she confused what name she had put on the paperwork. She thought we said Jerry and we didn't, we said JEREMY. After she realized that she argued with me saying that if she had known that we threw JEREMY and not JERRY she would not have thrown the 4 that she did, and instead played herself as a 3. My argument to her is that that was no excuse for anything because she's shot against our team in the regular season many times in both 8 and 9 ball so that really isn't a good enough excuse for her mishap on names. I was VERY clear on who I threw to play that match and there is no blame pointed in my direction. So as you can imagine the spirits of that team got brought down major.
My 5 played against their 7 next and smoked him 19-1. I won't say that it was due to the mishap of the captain and how it put them in jeopardy cause my 5 was on stroke and wasn't missing anything....he was on FIRE!
Nonetheless we did a good job and deserve every bit of this victory!
@A-Train - Well I'll try not to beat you too badly sweetie. But uh well yeah, I'm out to win as usual. I don't come out to lose. But IF I do lose I am a good sport about it.

That's good. I'm sure you'll have no problems running me over.
