The root issue with "capped" events is they make those players near the cap a huge favorite. I'd bet strong that the players with a 595-599 rating have won significantly more tournament cash than anyone in the country outside of the legit pros. Because every weekend in every city you can spit and land on a 599 capped event.

Then the issue becomes "where do you make the cap at". No matter where you make it, it makes those players close to it the big favorite.

"handicapped" events don't have this issue. They spot either games or balls to make it so anyone has a chance. AND, everyone is usually allowed to play in these events, event pros.

"capped" = excludes a large number of player entirely. Of the players that do enter, favors strongly those close to the cap.
"handicapped" = lets everyone play. Everyone has a chance.
"Open" = Lets everyone play, everyone plays even, determines who is the best.

Finally Made It To Evansville

As some will recall in a previous thread I was going to drive down to Evansville to the Washington Square Mall and play on their Diamond tables. I wanted to see how they compared to my Gold Crown IV.

Well, I finally made it to Evansville today. And what a waste of time. I couldn't have been more disappointed. The tables were in awful condition. The cloth was horrible. It was dirty, spotty, slow, etc, etc. And the lone 9-footer wouldn't even work. I had a guy helping me and he said the coin mechanism must be broke.

So I guess I am back to square one. Maybe I should just go and buy that Diamond Professional and get it over with. Either way, I would think a big city like Evansville would have had better tables to play on. That was simply pathetic.

I assume you mean Evansville, Indiana. All that city had was Diamonds when I lived there. I believe that O'Brian's had a 9 foot Diamond. I imagine it is probably still there. I think I can see it in this pic, on google maps.

Edit: The place you went to (which I think is called KC's Time Out Lounge) is a complete Dive, from what I remember. You should have went to O'Brian's, a few miles north of there. That was a super nice place (and I imagine it still is), with all Diamonds, including 1 9 foot Diamond, iirc.

Anyone Recommend a Mechanic in Louisiana?

I'm looking to sell my 10' Gabriels carom table to someone in New Orleans, about 45 minutes from where I live. Can anyone recommend a mechanic to disassemble, transport, and reassemble?

I have a message in to Yura on Facebook but in the meantime I wanted to see what other options are out there in cause he isn't passing through Louisiana any time soon.

*Update* I spoke to one of the guys in the sticky list, real nice dude and we may get something done, there just don't seem to be many listed for this part of the country.

Thanks

Father or son Bludworth?

Are all the "circle 'B'" logos belong to "dad"?

I believe that the Circle B Bludworth cues were made by Leonard Bludworth, after Leonard was no longer able to use the Red Dot, due to his son owning the copyright for the Red Dot, after he sold the company to his son.

The Red Dot cues could have been made by either the father or the son, because they not only worked together, but made them using the Red Dot during different times.

I think that if it was signed Blud in the forearm, then it was made by Leonard.

This all has always been so confusing over the years though, because people claim different things.
