This Straight Pool league started in July 2018. The competition is individual instead of team, and the format does not require that all the matches be played the same night or even at the same location.  It is continuous in the sense that it runs from mid-January to mid-November.  People may join or drop as they see fit (with the requirement that once dropped a player must sit out at least one round — when the player is ready to add back in they need to let the League Director {LD} know several days before the new round starts).  The rounds are usually two-weeks long.
The format used for the league is based on one started by the  Billy Aardd's Club  (billiards club) at New Mexico Tech in the summer of 1983.
Players have a choice of match lengths.  (This could be done to reduce how long it takes to play a match.  It could also be done to get a reasonably long match when the spot is small.)  When both players agree they can play to: 40, 50, 75, 100, 125, or 150 points, otherwise the match is to 70-points.   ( Match Times reviews times on 70-pt and 75-pt matches.)
The current League Director {LD} is Ray.
(8/5)
If you are interested in playing you can contact Ray at the number above.  The current round (#110) runs from Wednesday, November 6th through Saturday, November 23rd.  Contact Ray before Friday, January 10th if you want to get in for round #111 (which will start on Monday, January 12th).  Round 110 is the last of this year.  You can join at any time, though you wouldn't be scheduled for a match until the next round starts.
For an understanding of how the league operates see League Rules and Regulations.  Player movement on the Ladder explains how player pairings operate from round to round.
Scoring for the match tracks every stroke and is done on a rack-by-rack basis preferably using an Official score sheet.  When the match is finished the League Director will need to have it for recording the match and generating the next round.  Please follow the directions for submitting a score sheet to be sure it gets to the LD.
Official score sheets for the current round can be found at the front counter (where the balls are checked out) at Slate Street  (their facebook link).  If there are no sheets one can be printed from this web site, or you can keep track of things on a regular sheet of paper (just be sure to include all the required fields).  If there aren't any score sheets left be sure to let the LD know.

Here are some League Records.
Handicapping is based on the average number of balls per inning that each player has made over their five most recent matches.  Unlike Career LBPIs it does not exclude exceptionally high or low performances.
The Match Win-Loss Report looks at wins and losses for the various Types of Matches.  It tabulates for:
Match Times provides information on how long it takes to play a match by considering various ranges of: LBPI, Points scored, and Spots.
Thoughtful use of the stats below can reveal where a player may make improvements in their game.
Of the following ranking methods Win/Loss is currently favored for initial seeding of matches in the handicapped 14.1 tournaments.  It tends to account for a player's accustomed style of play and their success with that style.
The LBPI value from the LBPI Rankings mentioned above covers all their matches in the league (other than tournament matches) by discarding exceptionally high and low performances.
High Runs shows the (trimmed) average of a player's first, second, and third highest runs on a match basis.  It also includes the maximum run in each of those categories.
Good Shots is a measure which shows what percentage of shots (be they scoring or safety) were successful.  Scoring shots are considered good when you don't miss.  Safety shots are considered good when your opponent does not score just after your safe.
Consecutive Wins shows the most consecutive wins each player has had through all the matches they have played.  It is not interrupted by time off the ladder, nor by Immediate Forfeits (which is why the round numbers given for wins is often not consecutive).
Comparative Rankings provides a look at how players compare on: Win/Loss, LBPI, Good Shot percentages, and such.
