I believe that Johan is going to spend a week with each member individually for intense practice.

The WPA format of alternate breaks, 3 points rule and break from behind the line, provides closer matches than WNT.

But it doesn't allow for big comebacks. I used to be a fan of alternate break with a standard break, and this setup with the 3 point rule isn't bad, but I prefer the WNT format to any other 9 ball format now.

The good news for Ignazio is how much more mature and composed he looks. Like he's born again.

Jeff misses a cross side bank on the two Fedor plays safe. Jeff responds. Fedor shoots a long off angle combo on the nine and misses. Not much here for Jeff. Failed safety, does not hide the cb. Fedor runs the last six balls for the win.

I need a new decoder ring for this ball set.

The problem in my area doesn't seem to be the willingness to shoot on a 9ft, it is the lack of availability. There just aren't that many around. We have 10 7ft tables and 1 9ft and the 9ft stays busy all night long. We would have to take out 2 7ft tables to add another 9ft.

Fedor makes four balls on the break! 10-10! Love it.

for a great road player. your post has you sunk below the Bismark at the bottom of the sea.

go to the dam pool room and beat all those 500 to 600 players for all their cash while being on the lemon.

Fedor closes to 9-10.

I don’t think that at amateur levels, it makes any difference who breaks first.

I just ran the numbers for my league in the last 1500 games if the players were within 60 Fargo points of each other, the breaker won 49.4% and the non-breaker won 50.6%. This covered 431 games.

Maybe putting this together with Stu’s recollection it was actually BCA. Maybe they played team and then Darren took second on the singles.

I can tell you something like that could never happen in APA. Every team/player at the national events (team, singles, showdown) comes from some APA franchise, and APA has never had franchises in the UK. There's no way to get a team or player into the events any other way, and there never has. I do remember hearing some chatter in the past about some teams from outside the US pulling something on CSI, but I thought it was more recent than 25 years ago.

I have on already, upgraded to a 30 inch shaft.
