WPBA Fine of $2,000

... every owner puts a value on its people. so if your value falls below what you make from them you are toast.
if its significantly above, then you have bargaining room to get more.
I believe the WPBA is a not-for-profit organization, run by an elected Board of Directors whose goal is to promote women's pool. That would make the players the "owners" of the WPBA.

Maybe SJM could speak on the Board's compensation.

What's the Best Water-Resistant Cloth?

Most people outside the industry just call it “felt,” so we use the term pretty interchangeably. Technically, yes, “cloth” is the accurate term. Kind of like calling aluminum foil “tin foil.” Technically it’s not tin, but that’s what most people have called it for years. Same thing here, “cloth” is the accurate term, but “felt” is what most people know it as.

Ko Pin Yi explains main differences between Chinese and American tables

The bit about potting down the rails and potting into middle/side pockets was very familiar to me as when I moved from playing English pool to 9 ball on U.S tables. I couldn't believe how easy it was to pot down the rails and how hard it is to pot into the middle/side pockets on a U.S table compared to a U.K table.

Why do balls come off the cushions at different angles between U.S and Heyball tables? Is it the material of the cushions, the height of the cushions or something else (the dimensions of both tables other than pocket size/shape are the same as far as I understand).

I Want To Buy Something

Hire a ball boy to replace balls to their position during practice sessions. He's gotta keep 'em clean, fetch beers, brush the table during bathroom breaks, etc.
I'd make my own kid do it, but don't have any.
I was in China a couple times for my dayjob and of course brought my stick and played pool a few times. The house girls there rack for you. At the end of each game I'd put my hand up and holler out to the girl "rack rack rack". It was actually fun, haha. They were cute too;)
