me. at any game for any amount, if i like the bet, and feel i have the best of it.

anyone that bets any other way is a fool. and a fool and his money will soon part as the accurate saying goes.

Still available

so how are the ref. supposed to determine good hits or not good hits.

by what they see and ascertain from what they see. or the total of what happened.

if its the total of what happened, how is that determined.

does the ref. go by how the cueball reacts after the shot, or the sound the shot made, or by some personal feeling on what should it be.?
how can we give the ref. that power.

what if the cueball hit a piece of chalk and rolled certain way that wasn't kosher to the shot? who could see that.

too many variables to give the ref. the right to call based on his assumptions. or so called knowledge of how cueballs react.

if you want to have perfect calls then you need to have the opponent call for a camera before the shot.
if he chose not to, then he takes whatever the ref. decides and lives with it.

in this case the opponent said nothing so he lives with the decision. which was correct from what the ref. saw of the hit.

but incorrect/wrong, according to physics of the way a cue ball will always react in that particular case.

if you want highly trained ref's. you are going to have to pay them more as well and have lowered prize pools.

One can just grip the cue farther back to eliminate the shoulder-> elbow drop.

You see pro 3c players do it often on shots that go many table lengths.

Sad to hear the haggling and the massive selection of used stuff has dwindled.

I wasn't able to make it this year, but my cuemaker friends that went up there to sell some new stuff brought me back this pale moon blank from Rounceville.
