As a result, he would like to start running tournaments and leagues. Melloy reported that tournament and league play could run over the 12 Midnight closing time. Therefore, he would like to be allowed to remain open until 2 a.m. Melloy also reported that his competition is open anywhere from 2 a.m. to 4 a.m. to all night, which is another reason to extend his hours. Knudsen asked if there have been any issues with police calls, etc. to the billiard hall. Melloy reported that everything is running smoothly. He did have one incident where Ramsey County ran a license plate check on a vehicle in the parking lot and picked up the owner of the vehicle from the billiard hall.

Barraclough reported that he has visited the billiard hall and was very impressed with it and the operation that Mr. Melloy is cunning.
