If there are any local Outsporters in the San Francisco area, this weekend the San Francisco Pool Association (SFPA), founded in 1978, will be hosting the 50th West Coast Challenge pool competition. In conjunction with gay pool leagues in San Diego, Los Angeles and Long Beach, we will be having the league's respective team champions, individual champions, women's champs and a Hi-Lo (scotch doubles) event. It will be held Friday through Sunday at the Ramada Plaza Hotel at Market and 8th Streets in San Francisco's Civic Center area. The event will be held in the Ballroom of the hotel. Play starts Friday at 1 pm after opening ceremonies. The event is open to spectators at no charge. If you enjoy watching 8-ball being played by a lot of pretty good gay shooters, this is the time to come on down and support the locals against their intra-state rivals. If any of you do happen to stop by, please ask for me as I'd love to meet some fellow local Outsporters!
