Keith DaCosta
Hello fellow WCFBA members. As a member since our league's inception, I've coached, coordinated tournaments, often played full-time and run "It Happened in Monterey." I'm happy to continue my Board responsibilities in representing your interests at heart, insuring our league stays fun, and fresh, as we adapt to constant changes. We're an amazingly eclectic group, where competing to win or lose often takes second place to thriving friendships. Happy Holidays! See you on the filed in 2026. Keith
Dave Gamson
Hi, I’m the janky-armed pitcher many of you know as “Gamer”. I went to A’s Camp in 2004 and this will be my 20th year in WCFBA. I love the game, treasure the league and appreciate all that goes into it. I’m tossing my hat in the ring for 3 reasons:
1. I’d like this league to continue and feel compelled to ensure this happens
2. I’m confident my work on several non profit boards can serve this goal
3. I’ve been the beneficiary of the work of others on the Board and want to do my part
Lynn Harkrider
The main reason for my desire to serve on the Board is that I have enjoyed this league since 2005 as a pool player and teammate. It has been a positive experience and I haven't been able to contribute to the success of this institution that has brought me so much joy. My goals would include encouraging competitive fun for the love of the game, as well as a feeling of camaraderie and good sportsmanship. I have been participating for 20 years and feel qualified to make the league enjoyable for all.
John Kroll
I Was recently added to the board part way into the 2025 season and would like to continue to help support the league.
RAIN/CANCELLATION PROCEDURES
If you are a full-time or potential pool player, you should be aware of our procedures in case of rain or game cancellation for any reason.
There is no longer a "rain line" for you to call. Depending on when games are cancelled, you may receive an email or text message notification.
If we know game(s) are cancelled prior to the weekend: We will email everyone who is scheduled to play.
If we go into the weekend still uncertain as to whether game(s) will be played: As soon as our field coordinator receives word that we will not be able to play any of our games for a scheduled date, he will initiate an automated message to everyone signed up to play in the cancelled game(s).
• If you have given us your cell phone number and provider information, you will receive the cancellation notice as a text message.
• If we do not have your cell phone info, you will receive the cancellation notice as an email.
If you would like to receive cancellation notices via text, please use the "Player Login" link at the left, then choose "Player Profile", and update your profile to include your cell phone info. And even if you have given us your cell phone info in the past, we recommend you verify that your cell number and cell provider in your profile is up-to-date.
You might consider checking your email/text messages on game days prior to leaving home, even if it is a sunny day, since games have been cancelled in the past for reasons other than weather.
