Congratulations to Buddy Giguere and Chris Logan for winning yesterday’s marathon Hi-Lo tournament!

1. Buddy Giguere & Chris Logan
2. Kevin DeWar & Jerry Ball
3. Jeff Smith & Estelle Mays

Playoff time is here!

Format & eligibility

• Unlike typical league nights, playoff matches will be played as a race to 9. Once a team reaches 9 wins, the match is over.
• Also unlike typical league nights, only one time out is allowed per game, only the player can call a time out, and the player must designate only one teammate to participate in the time out.
• If the shot clock is in effect, players get one 60-second extension per game.
• Players with 25% participation are eligible to participate (14 or more games).
• Please make sure to report scores promptly and accurately so we can schedule upcoming matches the next morning.

City Championship

The top 16 teams have qualified to compete for the City Championship. This is a double-elimination tournament with some losers bracket matches taking place on Thursday nights – make sure to look closely at the schedule.

Founders Cup

All other teams will play for the Founders Cup. This is a single-elimination tournament with a 3rd place match between the losers of the two semifinal matches.

Good luck to all teams!

Congratulations to players and teams for making it to the end of the regular season! This upcoming Tuesday we will have our traditional top-to-bottom ranked matchups in Week 14. Playoffs will begin on December 13, with the top 16 teams playing for the City Championship and teams ranked 17th-32nd playing for the Founders Cup.

The Hi-Lo memorial tournament will take place on Sunday, December 11, at Family Billiards. This is one of the most fun events of the season, featuring a scotch doubles format, a Calcutta auction with part of the proceeds going to the SFPA, and cash prizes for the winning teams and auction bidders. We look forward to seeing you there!
