How does USBA spend their money per states to promoted 3C??

Traditionally the USBA spends their money to support the Nationals and to send the winners 1st & 2nd place winners to the World Championships.

They've done very little to promote the game.

They're only capable of scrounging up the cash to send a US representative to the Worlds.

Wish they would give that up and concentrate on Teaching and Promoting the Game vs National and World Competition.
The USA has Zero chance for a Championship.

Give all that UP USBA and work for the future.

I'm sure I won't live long enough to see that happen.

2026 International Open in St. Augustine?

Played last year -- the setup was lovely.

However, the days I was there it seemed poorly attended by spectators. And it was a one match a day slough. Anywhos, finished tied for 12th-18th in the 1pocket.

New Room in San Francisco's Mission district called 'The Hall'

The Hall is again hosting SVB for a week of challenge matches, instruction, and seminars. June 22-28. The challenge matches are $125 for a race to 4, you pick the game. Spots are going fast. https://www.thehallmission.com/svb
Ooh, here's hoping The Hall posts some of the mic'd-up matches to YT. I enjoyed watching the ones they posted of the previous event even though I felt guilty seeing all the locals get destroyed haha

cue ID help

I'm guessing a import too, probably made by either KaoKao or KaoFa. Something about the sleeve looks off on the top one, the notched diamonds should be centered, cue may have been broken/fixed. AZ'r Joe Lolley used to sell his 'BamaCues' line that were very similar to these. They were very nice imports.
I think I have seen them both.

The first one is nice. I like it.

"High value" when you consider the work that goes into them.

If you're into a fancy cue and don't have much money it's an option.

Most people aren't terribly serious about pool and cues anyway, and honestly you could do well with a cue like that.
