<description><![CDATA[ Most of the teams are getting out of D8 so late on Sunday nights.  And some of us are just opting to sleep there it is so late!!!!   Is it possible that next session we could move the time up to possibly :<br />Practice from 3-5  and start at 5 !!!  That would atleast get most out by maybe ten instead of the eleven and later.  I would like to see start time at four but I understand that most want to watch one set of football games at home so doing this at five would give people the one o clock games at home and then the rest at Diamond Eight.  It would be nice to figure out a way to make Sunday nights end a bit sooner. <br />Any other ideas??????? <br /><br />Thanks<br /><br />MzAudre]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ There are 7 replies, with the last one on 10/12/2008 at 09:44:59 AM by MsAudre<br />Quote:<br />Many people have suggested this and by the writings from the sessions past I do not see where anything was resolved.  I still would like to see the tables assigned.  The tables that your team would be playing on could be the assigned tables for the two teams one each team take one of the tables for that night.  I am aware that teams are playing on the small tables as well so they could practice on those the weeks they play on them.   ???????    Is there a big issue or problem in doing this?   Not everyone feels comfortable in challenging on a table and there are alot of people who would like to and need the practice but do not get it in because the tables are full and they dont feel at ease asking. <br />Thanks<br /><br />MzAudre]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Angela Skawinski edged out rival Audre Hartman on Sunday to claim victory in the APA of Albany’s First Annual Ladies 8-Ball Tournament. The tournament featured a field of 10 women, all poised for the challenge. Both Angela and Audre reversed their fortunes after first-round losses to meet in the finals.<br /><center>[img]http://www.diamondeight.com/images/photos/2008-angela-audre.jpg[/img]</center><br /><br />Angela, a long-time Red Sox fan, used her new Red Sox-branded cue, while Audre was dressed in full Yankees apparel. The match went to the hill, mirroring the hill battle between the Red Sox and Yankees to be held later that night. The Red Sox ended up winning the series in Boston, just as Angela won the 2-2 split for the match and the tournament victory. Congrats to everyone for a great tournament!<br /><br />Ed Skawinski<br /><br /><br />]]></description>
