Ok...
1 - 2v2 BnR & (not vs) BP worked for 10/11 weeks and worked well... in china ballroom and in all right now. Both lgs in both rooms got from 16 to 26 players in those trnys and it was a success... and I measure that by...lets call it "PureFunMeter". It is so obvious that I wont spend time trying to prove that the sun is bright.

Note- Kelly, ARN is not so bad you know ... its just an american room , true ... and as in all american rooms u find all kinds of ppl.... pros and cons as with everything in Life .... some of BP´ers also say that a room like Ballroom can become dull after some time... (I had a lg in a room like urs long time ago...and I know that members can go like that) ...perspectives are just perspectives... I try to see both sides and enjoy both things. When I don’t, I leave. But I don’t blame rooms or ppl... I just take a break.

Now...
2- About a BP vs ( im not using --> & as in 2v2... im using VS now)BnR... As Dave knows , i never refused to have a format like itls (interleagues)... would be even nice ... so some players in BP could start training for the real stuff. I am NOT being sarcastic or undermining some really good players I have the pleasure to know in BnR. I am just being honest:
We / I had the worst season ever in itls and it sounds like the right timing to bring new blood to our team. BP have a few new members doing great clean pool and it would be interesting for sure... was even thinking about training a new captain, even coz we just joined a new itl with european schedules. Im getting old, and more and more i have less and less time to shoot at high level as I used to in the past and I really miss it.
That was an idea ready to come out… we discussed that in BP couple of months ago. My sense of adventure is endless regarding those issues... and i even have (or shall I say had…) lots of new suggestions for an even better and closer relationship between our 2 lovely leagues.
As Dave knows i just asked him to pick time and day.
Would be just another extra step towards one simple thing: Fun among Friends.

Moving on...
3- As u understand I had to explain to BP´ers something that was hard to explain... Sat nite 2v2 was finished ... they asked me why... my answer was…" Dave said their lg wasnt having fun so they decided to end it and make a itl format in sat nites" I was just using Daves word after I asked him if I could.
Reactions were as expected... " why dont we make it on our own? " they obviously had a point there, coz my first task as HA is to give members what they enjoy ... and we are talking here again about a destress Saturday nite trny. So, they had it and they will… as a single BP new special…. or as it was. Not my call here.
My suggestion was all the time since I heard about the changes “lets keep the 2v2 and pls let me know when and how u want the itl format... "
I even added something about a CUP that Dave already designed… nice one btw... besides the natural bragging rights to the winners and of course some beer, scotch or tea would be involved as prize also héhé.

Almost fading…
4 – As im tired of typing ... ill cut the long story short:
I wouldn’t post ( and I will NOT do it again about this subject) if I wasn’t a little sad about the way things were brought by Kelly and Dave.
To say : “2v2 is over, period” would be better as far as my understanding goes…
Even a blind mosquito could figure that out alone and by night time… but wouldn’t I be rude also if I went like that? I mean…trying to play the 20/20 sight insecto? I could but I wont be rude. Im just saying this coz some of ur words were really not elegant and I never hide what I feel… I didn’t like it a BIT(e).

I have my yahoo archives and much more accurate than that.. i have my conciousness… and well, arguing with what makes no sense is not really my goal for a good nice destressed day... no peeps, it is not.

End - So, in resume, everything is ok, cept with my brain of course... maybe coz its becoming slow or maybe I got Yalzheimer... I am not sure ... but i still dont get why something that was fun should end without an obvious TRUE reason.. specially ending just like that...without time for adjustments. And why an itl format wouldn’t be one more new thing... as others in the future could be?
Please don’t try to answer coz goes beyond my past and future understanding.
But never beyond my respect for different ways of thinking.. of course.

99.9 % of Breakers had , have and will go on having my respect and mainly my true friendship. I had lots of good times in china, ( one of the few countries i dont know... im a lucky guy went there through pool :D ).I must thank you all for those good moments... whatever may come.

As a Breaker I wont interfere with Admin decisions..
As an HA for BritPool I will be silent from now on regarding this issue.
As your Friend you kow where to find me to talk about whatever and to play some pool whenever and wherever.

Thank You All for Your time,

Peace & Bliss ,

Eduardo Jai

Post Scripum - think I finally got a good excuse to say “beer right back”…? after all, this wasn’t the funniest thing I wrote lately… and to be honest I didn’t enjoy it… but needed to do it. You All take care :)>-
