English Permission Letter

Bradford P. Nadziejko


             Dear Mr. Nadziejko and classmates I am requesting permission to write about the Pool League  subculture that is in our area. The Pool League is the groups that play billiards in a bar league and also train in their spare time. This story will be about the history of billiards, the rules of the game and the equipment used in this sport. I will also be doing some research on the subculture of people that enjoy the game. I have been the team Captain of Sporto's bar and grill team for two years now and playing for the third so i will be joining in on this group and giving a personal inside as well. I will be discussing the things I like and enjoy about this subculture, but also talking to fellow players and other teams and getting their views on the subject also. If any blog followers have anything to add, your comments will be appreciated. I am also planning on talking to Donna Thies who has overseen this league for years now and asking her when the league started and how many people were involved in it's creation. I will put out some blogs as well as the schedule and how my team is doing along with my experiences traveling to other places for games. I and my team will be traveling around Red Bud, Modoc, Renault, Waterloo, and Burksville to play in this league. I have enjoyed this game since I was younger and have gotten better as I have grown older and had more practice. Billiards proves to be a challenging sport with geometry knowledge helping out on tricky bank shots where the ball has to be reflected across the table to make shots. This game proves to be harder than it looks and I will talk to some of the better players for tips and possibly some of their secrets. This year there are twelve teams and twenty-two weeks to play which grew from last years nine teams and sixteen weeks of play. I hope everyone who reads my papers enjoys it and gets a different aspect the next time they see a billiards table and hopefully picks up a cue and tries this sport. This may help everyone better understand this game and the subculture that loves to play and compete against others for personal gratification.
