Join us on Wednesday as we preview the upcoming World Pool Championships! We'll cover everything you need to know for Vegas! 🎱 If you can't watch it live, it'll be posted on our page after.

As always, we will be monitoring weather conditions closely as we get toward the latter part of the week. We will keep everyone updated should there be any changes that could impact league play. Please keep an eye on GroupMe for the latest updates.

Interrupting your Sunday to just let you know that we're not ignoring the newly formed tropical depression in the Gulf. We have a post over at The Eyewall that goes into detail on some of the scenarios here. While the most likely one nudges it onshore in Louisiana and dissipates it before getting to Houston, there is a world where a farther south track can occur. We explain here and will have more in the morning on SCW. https://theeyewall.substack.com/p/invest-91l-likely-to-develop-into
