Bryant double-dips Gay to claim ‘500 & Under’ tourney at Rack & Grill III in Aiken, SC

Triple-event weekend with final event of Rack Race season and One Pocket event ongoing These ‘500 & Under’ tournaments are swelling the ranks of competitors with a database home and spots on our AZBilliards Money Leaderboard. Good news, bad news. The good news – evidence of increased interest in the sport, which nudges it closer to a level that could elevate it to an Olympic sport and eventually, a higher profile as a spectator sport worthy of some ESPN time now and again. That’s already happening with announcements regarding the World Nineball Tour’s planned broadcasts of the Mosconi Cup and […]

Pardon me but your ignorance is showing

Fred “Scooter” Goodman is a thief. Here’s how he stole from me:

Way off topic, but I once loaned this kid my BMX bike, that was only a few months old, back in the mid 90's. I was around 15 at the time, and very gullible. My mother had just paid like $500 for the bike, which was a GT, and a very nice BMX bike. It was like brand new. Anyways, somehow it got a flat tire, and this kid (who was around my age, and lived in my neighborhood, a few blocks away, and seemed really nice) offered to put a new tire tube in, if I loaned him the bike for a few days. I agreed, and watched him fix the tire, before taking off with it, lol. Long story short, I was never able to get the bike back.

Me and my mother went to the Police, to tell them about it, and they were just like, well since you gave him the bike (even if it was just a loaner), there is nothing we can do about it. So, according to the police, since I handed over the bike, it no longer belonged to me, lol.

Yeah, I never trusted anyone ever again after that. Really loved that bike too, but was just too trusting.
In my day if someone pulled a move like that fists would be flying.

Oscar vs Meglino

I'm not sure if it was fatigue, the difficulty of the table/equipment, humidity, or something else - but I caught an hour two of action starting when it was like 52-50 and the pace, shot selection, and overall quality of play was not great.

Speaking of 3-9 combos, this was one shot I simply could not understand. With ball in hand, Oscar opted for this off-angle 3-9 combo and missed it badly. I get that position to the 4 is a bit funny here, but man this feels like a table that a player of Oscar's quality should run out 90% of the time. He got fortunate and ended up leaving Meglino a little funny and ended up winning the rack but this was a slow slog to the finish line
