[FSPA] Carpool Tuesday league postponed for two weeks

[KIM BRENNAN]

Well, unless you are diligent about maintaining them…I have a bunch of machines, but when one breaks, I often just move on to the next, figuring I’ll get around to that repair at some time in the future….I’ve got 20+ broken machines right now. :) Just finished repairing one, so I have something to play on (okay, not a big repair, just replaced a slingshot rubber)….

That and I don't feel like moving all the games back in right now. :)  Carpool is operating on a carry-out basis only W-S 4-10ish.  You can order through DoorDash or by just calling them up.  If you have a hankerin' for moz sticks or something throw them a bone but be safe.

We'll adopt this tentative schedule but play things by ear as the situation changes.  Possible solutions include liberal leave which you can read about in the full FSPA rules.  I don't want to cancel the season because that's not how I roll.

We have 50 people in league which is approaching the threshold of a large group.  Combine that with general bar patrons and you definitely have a large group.

I'm not going to hang a sign on the door because I also don't want to negatively affect their bottom line.  Last night the place was hopping which is good for them.
