Simple! Show up ... see Mark to pay your $2 to put your name on the list! We're playing "Winner Stays On" but ONLY for 3 games. Win three straight games, and get a free drink! After three straight wins, pay another $2 to put your name BACK on the list, and go enjoy your free drink! (This allows no single player to monopolize the table all night.)
-
Won your three straight games? Then, why not volunteer to Coach someone while you're waiting to play again!
-
New to the League or consider yourself a Beginner? This is a great event to Level-up your play by having a Coach help you during your game! Our Coaches are amongst the best and willing to help you with cue ball control, game strategy, etc. - don't miss this opportunity!
-
Players will be asked to Referee. Please let Mark know when you arrive if you are willing to volunteer during the night.

-
New to Scotch Doubles? This is a great way to learn! It's essentially League Doubles, BUT with a twist! Instead of alternating turns with your partner, you're alternating SHOTS with your partner!
-
If you consider yourself a Beginner, this is a great event to partner with a more Experienced Player and get "in the moment" Coaching about each shot. (And hopefully your Partner will make you look good by leaving you a "perfect next shot!")
-
Matchmaker, Matchmaker! This is a great opportunity to ask someone to be your Scotch Doubles Partner! It's not the Prom, so GO FOR IT!
-
Please note: NO Coaches will be utilized. Your partner is your Coach. There will be NO calling Coach for Time either.
