I played in the one in Denver, got in the money, shoulda been deeper but I wasn't aware you could chit a ball in another pocket you weren't aiming at and keep shooting, had em down by two games/lost on the hill.
Then....
When you got on the video table pit, the rules changed, 8 on the break was a win. When Matlock did that, boy was he surprised.

What was the payout for the top finishers? If that information is out there I have not seen it.

I always find it funny when sub 700 players (of which I am) try to show how cool they are by belittling other games with sayings anywhere along the lines of:

"Bar box pool?! That's the kiddie table!"

"Slop rules?!?! That's only for bangers!"

"Look at the buckets on that table. This isn't pool!"

"I only play X game on a 9 foot table like a real man! Look at me!"

It's an amateur pool league. You know, for amateurs. It's meant to draw people to the game to have fun. They run the tournaments to advertise for the league. Unless you are better than the pros listed above who all happen to love the format and rules, you just sound like you are trying to beat your chest with how much better you are than other amateurs.

The Chinese are 'Training' 3C players through a UMB program!

Could be!

you can’t judge hey ball until you have played it- just ask azb’s fatboy (keep the 5 orange)

he was in china recently

Garbage. Slop counts and you don't have to call the 8 ball. That isn't pool, it's ultimate banger.

So what is 9 ball? Is 10 ball the only pure game in your mind? 14.1? One pocket? All the rest are trash?

Haha, ok.

Not in a league, or even at an event, though. I was on vacation in Arizona and was able to setup a match with Drew Von Porte from YouTube.

I enjoyed the format way more than I thought I would. Love the shot clock, no race, match clock, all of it. I really enjoy 8 ball on a bar box, so that didn't hurt either.

Does anyone here play in a UPL league? What do you think of it compared to other leagues?

gareth potts playing ultimate pool?

i doubt that, but if he has it would be hilarious!!

they were wide but many were tight. but not as tight as modern tourny tables..

but if pockets are too wide and loose just aim to one side for practice, that will help you more with aiming then hanging bobbled balls on tight pockets
