Do they cap the number of entries? Based on manual count from the matches completed site, looks like they had 435 entrants into the banks. I know many enter the banks as dead money just to watch the entire event. Is that a record of entrants? I thought it was high 300's last year.

The look/feel of a Valtec wrap? My boss wants to buy a Cuetec, doesn't like Irish Linen. Wants leather, but wonders if he'll be happy with the Valtec wrap. Any feedback would be appreciated!

Sure, we've got the multimillionaire athletes and movie stars. Many of which are passionate about pool. Wouldn't it be cool to see the following happen yearly (which I'm betting all could afford without sweating it too much). Michael Jordan Cup in Chicago LeBron James Cup in Cleveland Tony...

First off, I'm not stating ANY facts here, just opinions based on what I've seen. And I am a HUGE Efren fan. Women's Championship just played on ESPN2 last weekend. Must call 9 ball. They seemed to remember it well. Are men that much more forgetful? SVB's could have been explained as it...

I posted this in Jay's thread. Then thought it might be a nice thread on its own for people to share their stories on how they got started, or a summary of their life of pool. Here is my story on how I started and who inspired me.... Dad (RIP) took me to see Willie Mosconi in Fox Lake, Il as...

I just watched Kazakis break against SVB. He made 2 balls on the break, and SVB shot the next shot. What did I miss? There was no pushout, no scratch. Did my computer skip or is there a 9 ball rule in Greece I'm not familiar with?

If Shane beats Ko Pin Yi, haters will say it's because of home advantage. If he loses, they'll say Ko Pin Yi is the better player. If Shane beats Nick in Greece, they'll say he played an inferior opponent. If Shane loses, they'll say he can't win overseas. Which match do you think will help...

I'm not a historian, but is this the largest fields for the DCC in quite some time? By my count. Banks - 362 One Pocket - 298 9 Ball - 264 Is it because Tunica isn't happening this year, so this is the only one? Is it a show of support to Greg to see if he will try a 2nd version in a...

Maybe some of the higher level players will give their opinions. I played the Carom Room in Beloit this weekend. Ended up 9-13, so I was happy since I'm a $10 calcutta player. What I did notice on day 2 were many high level players playing much differently the 2nd day. Some were soft...

At Large posted the Pool-Trax data from the Decider between SVB and Earl that just happened. I'm interested in forum members perception on ease of game on BB. I always thought B&R's on a BB were easiest in 9 ball, then 8 ball, and finally 10 ball. Based on the B&R percentages below, it...

So on the gambling jargon thread, there seems to be confusion on what the Orange Crush is? Jargon links posted mention one thing, some posters feel it is another. Either way, next time you give it or get it, you may want to clarify. Is it 1. Giving the 5 and out (5,6,7,8,9 you win) 2...

TAR streaming the BEF Junior Nationals for free today! That is called promoting the game and giving back to the community. As well as showcasing his production capabilities. I mentioned on another thread about people asking when any most recent TAR broadcast will be free online on youtube or...

Here are my observations about the recent tournament happenings in general. 1. Carlo Biado is the newest best kept secret from the Philippines. A true force to be reckoned with anytime he enters a room. 2. Staking, or asking to be staked, on a public forum is a recipe for disaster. Yes...

I understand Texas Bumps is sponsoring POV right now. Paying for ad space. But to show an exhibition of this game instead of a hot seat match right next to the table is ridiculous to me. There is plenty of down time between matches to promote your new game. Am I the only one that thinks this...

I'm going to be here til Sunday. Just wondering if there is a place to hang out while family is doing other things?

A friend of mine is in Vegas right now for the first time. She made it through the 9b brackets to the final board starting tomorrow. I congratulated her on FB, and also on her boyfriend helping her game, although he didn't want to take much credit. She posted the following on FB which I found...

I didn't create a poll since there may be options I'm not aware of. So here are my thoughts. Feel free to add as you see fit. 1. I think my favorite format is the SBE best 2 of 3 in races to 5. Short races gives the underdog a shot. But he needs to beat the odds twice. Kind of like a...

I saw references on another thread about vCar and vMansion, and noticed those users had much vCash. So the question is... 1. What is it? I assume it is Virtual Cash somehow earned on the forum. 2. How do you get it? I'm guessing everyone starts with 500. 3. What is it used for? I...

International Challenge of Champions. Daz vs SVB So the question is....How many people need to watch in order for the network to test out more? Normally they only televise Women's matches. Wonder what transpired for them to try out this match. Don't know how ratings work, but I hope it gets...

Ultimate 10 ball was looking for 128 men and 64 women. Full field for the women, but fell 40 or so short on the men. Southern Classic - I think the 9 ball participation was down from last year, but the 1p and banks seemed close to comparable. I don't know all the exact numbers, so not making...
