How will we post who won, and such.

I will be there when the games are played, we will be in a semi private room :)

Can I get a link to the exact game we are going to play so I can practice since I haven't played yahoo pool in years.

Ok we are going to play on yahoo:

Seeing as we have only five people we will have a freebie on both the winners table and the losers table.


When you get into the Yahoo pool room, i will invite you to the table.

Then I'll join this if there is a spot availible, AS LONG as it will be done before 5:30. I have to work tonight, so anything later than that is a no no for me.

Also, what are the rules about disconnecting? Sometimes my wireless internet reboots itself to provide a better connection and causes me to disconnect.

Count me out.
Girlfriend may want me to go to the mall.
