Following Season 11, Season 12 kicks off on July 13

And so it begins. Next week at this time the first week of the MLP Season will have been completed. Now, assuming all goes well in PRO, I still plan to be playing until around the end of Week 1. No, I won't be playing in Poolfiction's opener against Lucky Shots... But whenever my current seasons end in PRO, and/or WPC, the latter not coming nearly soon enough, I'll no longer be playing. Anywhere. I WILL however at least hang around since enough people have hassled me and annoyed me endlessly about it. This will still be Ryan's (Dazed's) blog, and it'll be his to decide what he wants to do with it, when he wants to do it. I will be merely in a weekly contributor role, providing a Match of The Week Preview & Recap. Now, due to schedule issues on my end and such, I don't know what the match is yet. But over the weekend I'll have my own preview of that much, presumably to accompany Ryan's thoughts (either before or after.) Again, I wanna make it very clear that by the end of next week, I'll have played my last ypool game. I'm not gonna make the same mistake countless others have and get into playing buddies for old time's sake, and decided "hey I beat this guy once out of 5 times! I still got it!" This is a once-a-week deal. It'd be great to have a MOTW in each Conference, but I'm not gonna push it right off the bat. There will also be a "Most Outstanding Player" each week, probably in each Conference, and that's all I really care to ramble about for now.

Big League Tour Week 1 Kickoff Tourney: http://cgi12.igl.net/tourney/mlp/2859191/

Temporary Week 1 Schedule: http://www.majorleaguepool.net/

New Leagues: Extreme Cues (EC), Pool Loverz (PZ [rejoining]), Devine Cuez (DC), and Tourney Pool (TP).

8Ball Scratch (8BS) will also return after migrating over from New Happy Pool last season.

Pool Pals (PP), which replaced PRO, also returns and will play the opening match of the season on Monday, at 7PM @ Extreme Cues.

Cheap Shotz (CZ) will, in fact, return while reigning American League Champion Cue Keepers does not.

The capper at the end of the week... Break and Run (BNR) @ Dream Pool (DP), a Thursday 9PM affair as scheduled right now.

To say the least, if nothing else this will be a very intriguing MLP Season.
