This is by far one of our most fun divisions. Everyone in this division is committed to just having fun. Yes, there is a lot at stake with the Jack & Jill Scotch Doubles Championship on the line, but all the participants in this division look at Friday night as their fun night out to spend time with their significant other and their friends. In fact, everyone who plays here is so lighthearted that they have made it a requirement to be so to belong to this division. They have come up with their own phrase when someone is too serious: ‘You CAN BE voted off the Island if you don’t lighten up!’ We all just have a great time.
This division plays every Friday night at Stingers beginning at 7:00 PM. The teams consist of one male and one female. It can be husband/wife, boyfriend/girlfriend, brother/sister or just two good friends. The matches start out with the girls playing each other to a regular 8 ball race, then the guys will play each other. Those matches are scored under the 3-point scoring system. Then they play a scotch doubles match with a specially designed race to games won. Winners of that match receive 5 points. The Summer and Fall session are just for Trophies and the Spring Session determines the team that goes to Vegas to play in the Jack & Jill Championship in August.
