The skids had NOTHING to do with master's chalk.

That reminds me of the first Seminole tour event that they held outside of Florida. They held it at Hollywood Billiards and a week before the event they decided to recloth all of the tables in red and required all players to use red master's chalk...

You've never seen so many complaints. lol

Well it went a bit further back in 2006 when he posted that.
Still not even close to being a hustler.
Banging balls into rails until someone asks to play for some cash is a bit closer to the mark.
Laying off until the bet gets big is even more devious.
I miss defending the local room from road dogs.

i havent gone in a place in a few decades that has smoking. and few states allow it anymore and thats good.
if its okay to smoke why is it not okay to cough near someone's face. ill never know

and music i dont want to hear someone else's choice of music when i am in any place. that's me.
i can enjoy silence or having a conversation without competition when playing pool.

The website is very clunky in general, I don't get why the bracket requires a separate login from the video service.

Their Website is god-awful. The user experience is terrible, with too much clicking around and searching the menu to find basic info and functions.

On another note, I'm taking FSR, and I think it will be by a few games (something like 13-10).

Dumb. Ten years ago most every pro played with Masters and you couldn't ask for the ref to clean the ball every other rack mid-game.
Some of the newer chalks leave circles on the CB more than Masters ever did.
I personally use V10 on my home table because it keeps the bed cloth cleaner but the rails are no cleaner than when I used Masters.
The only chalk that is banned from my table is Predator because it is just filthy.

ban hard tips they cannot hold chalk as well as a soft tip.

That sucked and would be confusing.

The failure to display the time zone or even mention it on the page is a failure of the website. The whole thing could use a redesign.

Any competent web developer can show the time in your time zone depending on your location (VPN notwithstanding). It's 2026, not 1994.
