Find out Monday night as we head on over to C-Hunts for the Fall 2009 Final between TEA and DAM starting at 7:30pm.

Starting 0-5 and whining all the way, Dale and Mark (DAM) have rattled off 8 straight wins at the right team to make it all the way to the finals. Poking fun at the liberal community, Jody and Drob (David Roberts) (TEA), have been a solid duo for sometime now placing in N42PA tournaments and making their presence well known in the league.

All,

I will update the site with the new matches later today. Please be patient. All teams have a match tonight as we have 20 teams (No byes). Ginger and Mike and Blynch and Sarah have contacted me that they cannot play, FYI.

See you all out tonight.

The league season starts on September 7th and will go for 12 weeks. There will be 10 games with 2 BYE weeks. The league is free to anyone that is new and only $5 for reoccurring players. All proceeds go toward club functions.

There are several folks floating around looking for partners still. We have some newcomers and regulars still looking.

Come on out on Monday to Ginnys where we are back on a regular basis and find yourself a partner. The league season is intense at times, but its a lot of fun.

Email me with your team name and ill get you registered!

Jeff

"Bout time" is what we are all saying around 42 headquarters. There will be a mad rush of 10 games with your partner (over the course of 3 and a half months) against the best 42 players in the city.

Past winners of the league have gone on to become elected officials or at least complain about elected officials.

The league is fun. The league is serious. Play is set to begin on Monday, August 31st--hopefully at Ginny's Little Longhorn on Burnet Rd. League nights are scheduled for Mondays at 7:30 but most folks are pretty flexible when someone's schedule prevents playing then.

More details will come. If you are interested in playing, e-mail Jeff Reed (jrreed50@gmail.com) and he will handle things from there. We also recommend joining the "Austin42" yahoo group to stay abreast of the details and to see when you can come on out and get some practice on. It will be fierce, but you will be better off for it.

Howdy there.

The Austin 42 Club is gearing up for its annual fun Summer League. We will be playing 88 this time around. First game will be on Monday, July 6th and the league will run for 6 straight Mondays. Very loose, much less hardcore than regular seasons.

The club will also be stretching its legs and playing at different bars each week.

So if you have interest or want to sign up e-mail msobin@gmail.com

See you at the tables.

Terry and Chris have won the Spring League season destroying Mike and Crystal 7-2, 8-10, 8-0. This is the second title for Terry and the first for a new comer.

Excellent game play gentlemen and looking forward to seeing you around the tables in the fall.

Jeff

Congratulations to the top 12 teams for making it to the playoffs. As you can see from the rankings, the difference between many teams was barely 10 points.

Thanks to everyone for working hard getting your games in and having a good time with the league this season. Look for the playoff games happening over the next few weeks and our playoff party coming up near the end of the month.

If you dont have a team or just want to join in, please come on out! This is just a fun, organized way to get some games in before the league starts next week!

Hey there Austin!

The 2009 Spring League is starting up on February 2nd and will run for 12 weeks, 10 games each week with 2 BYE weeks. The season will end the first week of May.

Competition varies in skill, but fun is always at a maximum. The league night is every Monday starting at 7:30pm at Ginny's Little Longhorn (Burnet Rd and Houston across the street from Thundercloud Subs).

We will be gearing up the next few weeks and there are plenty of people in need of a partner. Come on out, meet some great folks and get ready for an awesome season!

See you at the tables!

Great job Terry and Molly battling through a tough regular season schedule and going the distance in the playoffs as the low seed to win it all. They bested Jordan and Dale in the finals 2-1.

I hope everyone had a safe and enjoyable break. Look for the next league season to start in late January!

Jeff

Playoffs are here and we have 12 teams ready to fight for the crown! Games will more likely be played sporadically over the next two weeks leaving plenty of free time to get a non-league game played before the holiday break. Come on up to Ginny's on Mondays and get a game on while rooting for or against someone working in the playoffs!

Find a partner and come on out!

Fresh off a 3 week vacation in France, Casey, and Jordan claimed the title after defeating Kristen and Mark in a battle royale. Casey and Jordan suffered one defeat this season and played the seasons latest match (until 2am the night before Casey left for France).

Great job both teams!

Monday, July 14th will be the opening day of the summer league. This time around we will be having a new player league that will last only 5 matches over weeks (Until August 11th).

We are hoping to see a lot of new faces in the new player league that will give everyone some equal footing. The summer league is always laid back and much less competitive than the fall and spring leagues. We encourage anyone that hasn't played with the club yet, but has interest to show up between now and July 14th at Ginny's on Mondays to find a partner. There are plenty to choose from! Bring your college buddies, wives, husbands, parents, grandparents, neighbors, whomever. Its a smooth rolling 5 weeks of domino fun.

This seasons playoffs begin tonight at Ginny's, starting at 7:30pm. There should be plenty of open games for those not in the playoffs, so come on out and get a game on.

The top 4 teams have a bye and will be playing their games as soon as its possible after the first round playoff games. Good luck to everyone.

Jeff

Just a reminder, there will be some open play games at the Showdown tonight starting at 7:30pm. Showdown is located at 29th and Guadalupe between Kerby Lane and the Taos Coop. Hope to see you folks out there!

Jeff

The 2nd tournament hosted by the Austin 42 Club was a great success this year! We were able to have it at Scholz Garten and the environment was exciting and unique!

Overall we had 12 teams competing, half of what we had just a year ago, but the intensity was awesome. Congratulations to Dave Roberts and Mike Nunez for claiming first prize. They went undefeated in the tournament. Second place went to Misty Reed and Mike Sobin, the 2007 Fall League Champions.

Thanks to Lone Star for your continued support of the Austin 42 Club, Scholz's Garten for the use of space, and the organizer who helped prepare for the event.

Jeff

The Spring Season for 2008 of the Austin 42 Club begins Monday, March 31st at Ginny's Little Longhorn. We have 20 teams playing this time around and the season will run for 10 weeks to be followed by a 12 team playoff bracket.

The Austin 42 Club has finished its Fall 2007 12 game regular season and the top 12 teams have set themselves up for bone-crushing adventures with so much firepower they will annihilate all but one team.

Come out and watch. Games start Jan 7 at Ginny's.

Folks, the Austin 42 Club will be playing at Scholz's Bier Garten at 1607 San Jacinto. Come on out as we move the show from our regular night at Crown and Anchor.

Action will start around 7:30pm and go on until we've had enough. Rowdiness will ensue.

If you havent noticed, there is now a dry erase board setup in Ginnys for folks to sign up to play. Once 4 people get on the list, grab some rocks, a table, and get it on!

Also, we have setup a tip jar near the dry erase board. Lots of effort goes into the club, both financial and physical. Every little bit helps us improve what we can offer the club and ensures we will be around for more time to come.

Thanks!

Jeff

Its been a relatively quite season. However many of the new members to A42C are racking up points and taking control of the leader board. Look for things to heat up in the final stretch of games as there are 8 teams on the playoff bubble with a spread of only 25 points. Things are about to get KRAZY!!!

Fall Season has gotten underway with 21 teams in the mix. Great to see lots of new folks joining and playing.

Come on out to Ginny's Little Longhorn on Mondays or Crown and Anchor on Thursdays to get some tossin in.

There is a large domino tournament in Halletsville, TX this Saturday, September 29th if you have the chance
