he is probably long past sponsors. the big loser was oscar who got money reduced by inflation.
basically partial payment.

but the prize money was not his and those other ones where the safe and envelop disappeared is fraud or theft. call the police and bring them in.

and certainly whomever held the money is responsible for it. just because someone stole it from you does not mean you are off the hook for it.

the gambler guy might be telling the truth. but is still responsible and they should also go after those that didnt pay off as sponsors.
in africa things are different i suppose. but there the authorities may be more forceful.

By the picture posted, the pad doesn't look flat. It looks dished in, in the center. Probably isn't but the picture sure looks that way.
Try refacing it and take something you know is flat, like an xacto blade and check it.
You can see a definite circular ring about a 1/3 of the way in. That shouldn't be there if both surfaces were flat.

I can attest APA SL-4 to APA SL-6 in 4 years is absolutely doable (I did it in 2 years as a 45 year old, however that occurred when I got my own table and my wife at the time decided to start screwing her boss, pure coincidence I’m sure).

Translating to Fargo this is a 100 point jump from about a 375 to 475, or you need to become about twice as good as you are now.

I do see in APA land where there’s a bit of a natural cap at SL-5 if you stay focused only on shot making and don’t start getting into fundamentals, stronger pattern play, etc..

It appears that you married your handicap.

If gambler owes you $500 and has it they will take a shot gambling it so they can double their money....

I heard she won the 680 and under Fargo event at Griffs last week using a new shaft that she got less than a week before.

Same shaft Morra has used for a few weeks, and played well, believe its called Halo.

She went undefeated, and also got some calcutta money. She's been playing great lately.

She is 700+ level. Just waiting for Fargo to catch up.

Bump. . .

This shit sounds like a great business model to franchise.

You don’t put up a nickel and you get 100% return on what you didn’t invest.

Coming to your town soon. WTF

until you piss off the wrong guy and get your ass shot dead.

my small home town in Illinois, about 2000 pop. there was a woman who always wanted to be around the money, Little League, Girl Scout cookies, summer camps, etc. to the point that the town wised up and just didn't let "Betty" be the treasurer anymore. she never stole it all, but a hundred here, hundred there kind of thing.

My son dated a gal the same way, waitress/server only took jobs where she "handled the cash", cheated the owner, short-changed customers, especially after a few drinks, etc. the gal's mother was the same way, but she worked "front office" in medical places, stole from petty cash, but her real prize was access to the Rx drugs.

I got the impression the players only got to see the balls for the first time in the morning of the tournament, which is a bit poor IMHO. Quite like the new blue 2 to be honest, but apparently an old Dynasphere set used that colour for a different number so maybe Jayson was familiar with that set and it's why he got confused. Long term I don't see there being major issues with this ballset

The light blue was the 7B on Cyclop sets.

If a guy called eagle eye mistakes the balls it's a bad sign. But they don't care. Enjoy your clown balls fellas!

And our big moving sale is this weekend. Hopefully we won't have to scrap them.

Thanks JAM!
