I don't care if he has a fargo, any world titles or has ever been to an actual pool tourney. He provides a nice mix of pool videos and I don't recall watching anyone else's pool videos that remotely comes close to the wide range of content he provides. I don't agree with some of the things he says but clicks = $$$ which is what this thread is delivering so I doubt he cares. He's a CONTENT CREATOR which means he's after clicks, not armchair champion's approval!!

Tap tap tap.

Just my $.02 and it’s worth exactly that, but I think some comments are out of line when talking about Dave. Asking if he has any matches recorded of him playing is a great question. Cool question. I can dig it.

Speculating on how competitive he does or does not play is a cheap shot (bad pun) on one of the very few posters this board has left who actually spawns interesting topics. It’s uncouth. The guy spends hours creating content that overly analytical nerds like me can geek out on. To say or infer that he’s just another banger is out of bounds and not really relevant. Not germane. Got dang Germans got nuthin to do with it.

I’m with you here Mark V. I haven’t read through every post on this thread but I sort of thought the same thing when I read the title of it. And I concur what Johnson not always agreeing with Dr Dave and I’ve debated him. That being said I respect the amount of work that he obviously puts in. On top of that he loves the game I love! And he does more than almost everyone to promote the game. What can’t you love about that! If there’s something that you don’t agree with spit that out and I’m bet he’s up for a debate…

Waxing the cue ball? WTF is Kaci talking about now?

The WPA states that this is a warning because some were unaware this was illegal. I have certainly cleaned cue balls while in play without a referee, right out in the open using whatever is handy. Does a sweat soaked towel make a cue ball roll faster or slower after it dries? I don't know.

The WPA does say this is an Unsportsmanlike Conduct foul which means the punishment can be up to a lifetime ban. That seems a bit over the top but even the risk of a one year ban should be an attention getter.

They do need to be sure that everyone knows this is an illegal activity, then if they want it stopped harsh punishments need to occur.

A concerning change in average tournament payouts.

The first day of play SAT. in a week end event is usually a minimum 16 hr day for a TD.
They finish up late, usually Sunday am.
Next day, which is already here you start late morning.
You finish usually around dark/or dinner time, or LATER.

Around here it is usually the brutal wee hours of Monday morning after maybe starting Friday night, definitely all day Saturday and Sunday starting at nine or ten AM. Couple that with way too much waiting around and tournaments are grueling. I understand from the players' standpoint but after all that prelim they often agree to a split.

I grab a short nap and come to the hall at midnight to see the final still a few hours away and then they don't play! I do understand it has became an endurance match more than a pool game. Still after playing this long, finish the event!

Let’s face it.

We’re all pool players and we play in tournaments where we’re friendly with the directors. It’s like family with everyone all playing in the same events and seeing each other on a regular basis.

They won’t punish whoever it is. This is their warning. Don’t do it again!

I really want to believe that you are correct here, but does this feel like a warning?

A warning would be " we will greatly increase the level of scrutiny in this area" and will take decisive disciplinary action against those found guilty of doctoring the cue ball including fines and suspensions.

I'll believe it when I see it.
