Emerald Valley BCA is a billiards league serving the greater Lane County Oregon area. We strive to promote the sport of billiards while engaging in a fun, competitive atmosphere. Our players are sanctioned nationally with CSI/BCAPL and regionally with Western BCA, which allows our players to qualify and play in events sponsored by those organizations.
Our league has three sessions per year: 8-ball (November-March) and 9-ball (June-September) are paid, sanctioned sessions. The 10-ball session (April-May) is a fun, social session. We invite you to visit our Facebook page for more information. Thank you for your support!

Final week and payout party (9/19/21)
Hi Folks,
Due to the number of outstanding make up matches and score cards, please use the posted averages from last week. This deep into the season, a single week of scores won't move your averages much at all. I do apologize for any of those players who only have 1-2 weeks - but I'd rather get all the sheets in to make a correct entry. No penalty to those who suffered from a closed bar or a covid related issue.
With make up games concluding by 9/27, I expect to have all score sheets in hand. Please drop all games score cards in the Sonny's box if they aren't mailed out by 9/25. On the weekend of October 2nd, I will be finalizing scores and stats. I will have them posted no later than 10/10. Checks will be cut 48 hours prior to the payout party. At this event, we will be talking about 8-ball start date, when sign ups occur and next years dues/qualifying weeks.
Payout party will be scheduled for 10/16/21 @ 11am at Sonnys.
I will be posting another schedule update next Saturday along with stats after this weeks play.
Please ensure all make up matches are finished and submitted by 9/27/21. Thank you!
Best,
Ray

Fargo Now Current - Mask Mandate Enforced
(8/21)
(8/21)
Hi Folks,
The maximum handicap for 9 ball is 9 points per round. I've attached an image on the stats page to outline how averages are calculated.
In addition, I will be revising the schedule once more in an effort to eliminate teams playing the same opponents more than once this season. Repeated matches begin on 8/30 and I will have the revision finished before then. Since we only had 23 teams, we only had 11 matches per week. With 14 weeks, every match after 11 looped around. I'll be sure nobody sits out twice for a bye or plays the same team again.
Fargo has been entered for weeks 1-3 (as of 8/21) and weeks 4-10 will be entered by Sunday 8/22. It is live and official, so Fargo stats should update by Tuesday 8/24 at the latest. From here forward, Fargo's will be entered every Saturday with the updates to the score sheets.
Lastly, please be advised that business must now re-instate mask mandates. This may effect league, open hours of operation, your experience and bar staffing. I do apologize for the sudden shift of expectations.
Shoot well everyone!

Schedule Updated - Scores Updated
(7/10/21)
(7/10/21)
Hi Everyone,
I hope you all enjoyed the long weekend last week. I've updated the schedule to reflect team names. The scores are current through the day of 7/8 when I picked up straggler score cards. Home captains without score cards entered will get a courtesy text from me on the weekend following the match date. Please let me know if you find any discrepancies and welcome back!
IMPORTANT SCORE CARD INFORMATION:
Additional Information:
Please send check or least bills of cash in the mail. No coins.
Feel free to use the Sonny's drop box.
All score cards need to be sent by Tuesday night and drop off's to Sonny's are by Wednesday nights. I would like to have scores update weekly prior to Saturday at midnight after week 4 when handicaps are released.
Start Time:
Since there are still restrictions on bar hours. Official start time this season will be 6:30. I want to make sure that everyone has a square opportunity to finish before the city mandated closing time. If you can start sooner, fantastic - please coordinate with the opposing captains.
As for the CDC guidelines - they are leaving this up to the individual establishments:
1) If bars allow it - Usually people who don't want to wear masks will have to bring a vaccination card and present it upon request.
2) Mask mandates will continue to exist in commercial establishments, because there is no way to effectively separate vaccinated and unvaccinated patrons.
Please take your masks with you to every match you play and follow the local bars guidelines.
RATES:
-Annual Player dues: $35
-Nightly rate: $7.25 ($5 to league, $2.25 to the bar - per person)
-Bar dues: $70 (Same as 2020 - I'll collect these from the bars when I drop off packets)
Qualifications:
This area has some grey room. The official standpoint as of right now:
-To qualify for any 2021 event, you must have played 4 weeks during 2020.
-To qualify for any 2022 event, you must have played 4 weeks between Jan 1st - Aug 2nd 2021.
- You may qualify for a current year by playing 4 weeks prior to registration of an event
See you all out there,
Ray Lingenfelter

GENERAL WARNING:
I must ask you to remain vigilant and attentive if you wish to participate in 9 ball this year. Bars are under strict guidelines for public safety and they MUST BE MAINTAINED at all times. Masks currently must be warn at all times indoors and the rules are changing at a pace that is tough to keep up with. Please do your best to be clean, spaced and respectful.
Some may know people who have been affected by COVID, others may not. But please be careful, respect those around you and understand that COVID may end our season prematurely, close particular bars, or in general not provide you with the experience that you expect. Hopefully immunizations and lower risk categories continue to pave the way to a more normal future.
