You mentioned "2 leagues". What does that look like?

In order to sell F&B, you need people in the room. My goal would be to have league play every night of the week and find a good TD who will bring them in on a couple of weekends each month too.

We have APA that only has 2 teams playing on Wednesday. I think the director has spread his players too far out. I have the USAPOOL running once a week. They use 6-8 tables. Then I have a IN-House League that uses 4-6 tables. We run a tournament on Sunday

Do you ever get the feeling that the Fargo Rate of a player just does not seem right?

Well that's a big spread. My paying for the lessons with the father/son did provide groundwork that elevated my 8 ball game eventually to a Victory playing a Grand Master in a significant race at the Lincoln City BCAPL event. Probably a hundred point spread. 200 points would definitely be lottery ticket odds.

Coring on an Engine Lathe

Here is a rather long and arduous video showing how I do it. What I didn't show was I stuff a piece of paper towel in the hole in my dust collector box and the groove of the gun drill otherwise chips will blow out the groove of the gun drill in spite of the vacuum due to the air pressure.

This is just how I do things. Not sure if it's right or wrong but it seems to make sense and work. Actually I have modified a couple process' since then. I now use 16 TPI to make it easier as my thread mill will engage on any mark without cross threading. With 14 you have to engage on a mark the same as you started wither odd or even. With 16 you can't screw it up as you have 16 marks that will work so you can engage it just about anywhere on a mark or half mark. I also cut the forstner bit hole before threading it works better and won't chip off your last thread. But it's been a few years since I made this. I found facing the wood perpendicular to the core is really important if you have even a .001" out of perpendicular it will noticeably warp your a joint. Also torque is critical of that joint to not deform it as once the epoxy is there it's a lot slicker and easy to over tighten. I mark it dry and stop there wet pretty closely.

Change the game!
A cheap lesson that I learned thanks to Jim Ward. Well, I was well ahead of his son who was my age playing 9 ball at my home court (The White Spot). Playing for 5 a game, I was up 35. Jim counseled Rodney and then Rodney said we can play 8 ball for 10 or I am done. We switched and he pocketed my allowance at closing time.

and how does it work? has a 500 player beaten a 700 player in a race to 7 for example?
I doubt that, spotting games won't help a wicker player in 9 ball

I don’t understand the phrasing of the question. Has a 500 player beaten a 700 player in a straight race to 7? It would be extremely rare if it’s ever happened. 500 would have to be playing out of his mind and 700 would have to dog a lot of balls late.

But a medium Fargo race for a 2 point gap is 9-3. Has a 500 beat a 700 in that scenario in 9b. For sure - probably 40% of the time.

By the way, if the lower player is low enough, then IMO 8b favours the weaker player. If I’m playing a sub 400 player in 9b and I hang the 9 I’m gonna lose that game. If I hang the 8 and my opponent has 6 balls I’m getting back to the table.

profoundly stupid question

I have a son thats 18. We live outside the city, in a "village" that has arround 2k ppl.
About 2 or 3 yrs ago, during winter, he asked if he could bring some friends to play pool with, on the basement table, couse its cold outside. I said no problem.
They came, i set the rules, explained and showed the use of the equipment.
Now i call them winter regulars.
No problems, ...

Hi Craig. I decided to PM you instead of posting in the forum thread. Btw, in case you're ever back in town, my cel is 678-595-9017. I live in the Smyrna area (NW Atlanta suburb), and with no traffic I can get to Mr. Cues in about 30 min.

I am whoofing at the whole country (or maybe the Midwest) and maybe it’s more of a friendly bark

I am told they have tables there where a sign says "no gambling cheap" or something to that affect. I am worried I would be in deep water with sharks there. I am less of a shark and more of piranha or something like that.
