This study of the Monday Nite Pool League is a continuation of earlier research into recreational tavern pool. We argue that the very competition that is the reason for the league's being contributes to the development of endogenous conflicts within the game that lead some players to quit because the original reasons for their involvement in the game have been eliminated or vitiated. This dynamic, the development of endogenous conflicts, probably holds for all voluntary associations that permit voluntary withdrawal, sponsor competitive activities, and meet expressive needs. This dynamic may hold for many other cultural contexts as well.JOHN M. ROBERTS is Andrew W.
