Every team got cash and they all qualify to play in the Championships as well! The men’s & women’s MVP of those two divisions each won $75 for their efforts as well! Just think, if IF The Flying Chanclas win the AZPL State Championships this weekend they will have won over $2,000 this season! Some of you have asked/inquired about reinstating the handicap. It’ll be up for a vote this weekend. Thank you all for a wonderful season! I can’t wait to see you all this weekend! The Fall season begins the week of September 10th! I look forward to seeing you all opening week!
