Anyone Charge For Table Time On League Night

krbsailing
We currently pay $3 for open tables at one college bar in downtown Bellingham which is what the cost would be for the 3 games we play at a $1/game for every player at most other places in town.

Bars here don't generally open their tables for pool leagues here; they're currently charging a $1/game.

Our BCA league at the Elks lodge has open tables for $2 per player from about 6 pm to 11 pm which is a steal of a deal/bargain, IMO.

In my experience, 25 years running a bar/restaurant/league/tournaments, you can't afford to give up the coin-drop or fees -- pool players generally speaking are cheap 😉

Be safe with all those fires up there.

I’m mildly concerned we might get some where I am because of this heat wave a very sparse at best rain lately. Had a major drought earlier in the year until early June. I think we went something like 100 days with 0 rain but maybe I’m a little off on that.

Chalk brands

I really don’t care what brand of chalk people use, my issue is when people use chalk that is a different color than the cloth they’re playing on.

In another chalk thread recently I noted how the guy that does the tables at the hall I play at told the owner either get these people on board with blue chalk or he’s done. I posted several photos he gave to the owner to show his issue with green streaks and dots on the tables. Given what those photos showed it’s not so clean. As the story unfolded further there. It turned out to be several players, some with Taom, and some with Pagulyon chalk, green in both instances. The owner informed them both brands sold in blue but they complained “the blue plays different”. He told them to buy blue or pay somewhere that has green cloth.

And no, I haven’t used Taom and won’t, Triangle works fine, and I don’t find it to be a hindrance regarding cleanliness.

Wow. What whiners. I play at a room with many people that use Taom green chalk and tournament blue cloth. No issues here.

I can't seem to wear it out.
Hands stay way cleaner.
Shafts also stay much cleaner as does my cue case.
Table cloth needs much less cleaning, maybe that will make it last longer?
Balls need much less polishing, maybe that will make them last longer?
Stays on the tip very well and I don't need to chalk every shot, tips last longer?
I can't say for sure but I feel better when using extreme spin, more confident.
