Week 4

This past Sunday we had our first fundraiser of the season at the Eagle LA.

A big thank you to Charlie and Marcus for opening up early and keeping us all hydrated.

In memory of long time League member and former President of the Board, John Cochran, we held our Greased Lightning 8 ball tournament. It was a quick moving competition on a 15 second shot clock. With only a handful of players showing up, it was by majority vote, switched to a money tournament. A portion of the registration fees going towards the League and the rest going to the 1st and 2nd place winners.

Our 3rd Place honorable mention was Vu Tran. Winning 2nd Place was Mark Lewis. Our King of the Hill and undefeated 1st Place winner was Ken Lee.

Thanks to a donation by an anonymous patron at the bar who enjoyed watching our players race against the stop watch, $105 was made by the League.

Next week, November 5th is an off night for all teams due to the Presidential election. November 12th is our 5th week of play and our Spring 2024 Awards Party.  All teams will have their matches at Jerry’s. From 6:30 to 8pm we will have food, drinks and a raffle for all members, past and current who attend. Each player will receive 1 free drink ticket and 3 free raffle tickets.

All Captains from last season donate 2- $20 prizes. Additional raffle tickets can be purchased at the start of the Awards Party for a chance at winning over $400 in prizes.

Come early on November 12th, eat, drink and win some prizes. Awards will also be given out to last season’s 1st and 2nd Place teams, West Coast Challenge qualifying winners and any fundraiser winners who requested a trophy. At 8pm, all 5th week matches will be played by the 8 teams who do not have Byes. A table will be available for the team that has a BYE that night to practice on.

Shoot Well. Play Fair. Have fun.

Thank you to my fellow Board members and especially our sponsors this season; Frank at Jerry’s Family Billiards, Charlie and Hunter at the Eagle LA, Rick at Brickyard Pubs NoHo & Hollywood and Waldo at Trunks Sports Bar.

The 1st week was a success having all the teams playing at Jerry’s. The whole night was filled with fun conversations around the tables and we managed to get the last matches done well before midnight.


Remember Captains!!! 

Please make sure you fill out your score sheets legibly and if your players are splitting games, note which games by writing there first name in the actual game box. Also, make sure you mark the number of wins next to each players name where designated and send a photo of your score sheet to the statistician at the end of the evening with both Captains signatures at the bottom verifying the scores.

Important!!!! Your team fees and any new player BCA dues are to be paid the 2nd week of play. Venmo is the preferred method. Venmo @Jon-Bourgault.  If you have any question contact our treasurer at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
