Greetings High Rollers of Raleigh!
I don't know about you, but I am pumped! I've been working on getting this Raleigh league going for quite some time now and Week 1 is finally upon us! I've been doing Charlotte for over two years and I've watched hundreds of folks make new friends, expand their business networks, even fall in love in a few cases, and most importantly - Find their 40!
And now I'm excited for Raleigh to experience all that is Brewskee-Ball, and excited that each of you are on board for the historical first Skeeson! It's gonna be awesome!
In a mere two days we'll all embark on a magical 8 weeks of Brewskee-Ball to see who will win the Skeeson I Championship and chug from the coveted Brewskee Mug - and go down forever in the annals of Brewskee-Ball history as the first champions in Raleigh!
Every week, every match, every game, every ball counts! Find your 40 and all your new friends this Thursday night at Buckhead Saloon!

5) SCORING AND BREWSKEE-BALL VERNACULAR
How does it all work? Glad you asked.
Check out this partially filled-out scorecard here: http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e201/bfarrell250/SkeesonVIIIScorecardexamplecopy.jpg
I'll be helping everyone out with scoring the first night, but here's a brief tutorial for those that would like it.
As you can see, each player rolls ten games total. Regardless of what you roll, you drop the zero at the end of the score. So Chris rolled a 300 his first game, which is a 30 on the scorecard. He then carries that score up to the upper left box in the next frame, waits for all the other players to roll, then rolls his second game. His second score was a 320 - or a 32 on the scorecard. He then adds these two together for his new total of 62. He carries the 62 up to the third frame and waits for his third game.
This also needs to be done all the way down and across for team totals. It's fairly simple, once you get the hang of it.
If you look at the right-hand bottom of the scorecard you'll also notice three other categories: Full Circles, Cherrys, and Hundos.
If a player rolls one of these mark a tally in the appropriate box.
Full Circle = all 9 balls in the 40 hole...360 points. Full Circle. Get it? Good.
To view a full circle, click here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIBYiVQgYEg
The above Full Circle was self-recorded and rolled by NY Skee E.O. Eric....the kid is good)
Cherry = A combination of all 40s and 50s. Anywhere from a 370 - 440.

The above cherry was rolled by Chris "Pistol Petot" of the Bourbonators in Charlotte)
High Five = all 9 balls in the 50 hole. 450.
To view a high five, click here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5dRTEUAPZtc
(The above High Five was self-recorded and rolled by NY Skee E.O. Eric...the kid is really good. Cost me $20 on that one.)
Hundo = When you get a ball into the hundred hole. Please tally these on the scorecard as they (along with Full Circles and Cherrys) are an important part of the stats we keep.

(The above perfect game was self-reco.....yeah, it was Eric again. Unskeelievable!)
6) TRIVIA
First person to reply with the correct answer wins a free pitcher of Miller Lite.
Question: In the classic game Monopoly, which property sits between Pacific Avenue and Community Chest?
7) LESSON LEARNED THE HARD WAY
I have a feeling that this may have scared the kid away from skeeball for life. And dodgeball. And baseball.
