This is a fantastic opportunity for a junior player (16 or younger) to compete in a Matchroom event under the same professional conditions as the pros.

    • 🥇
      Winner: $3,500
    • 🥈

Entry:

As a bonus, the player also receives admission to watch the Arizona Open, and a parent can attend with them to enjoy the pro matches as well.

Paul Frankel's 3C Challenge Shot Contest for Pool Players

billiardshot
Some PDF, Old PQB Magazines articles, and instructions for Paul Frankel's 3C Challenge Shot Contest for Pool Players. Info should be/ can be found USBA website. But I'll just some here:

Here is a short recap of how the 3-Cushion Billiard Shot Contest works
3-Cushion Shot Contest Format:
There were 8 diagram shots. Each player shoots each of the 8 shots 3 times (24 shots total). Each shot is worth 2 points (48 pts max) and the total number of points wins. Three small round dots (stick-ons) are placed on the table, which represented the exact placement of the diagrammed shots. All players had the same shot and same placement of the 3 balls. Then the dots are removed and replaced for the next shot selection.


Special Note: After each shot a player takes a straight rail carom shot as the balls come to rest. If they make it, it is worth 1 point and added to their previous scores. This means that the maximum possible score will be 72 points if they made every shot.

Intentional Double Hit

Tennesseejoe
Sheldon said:
Most rule sets treat “intentional foul” and “unsportsmanlike conduct” separately:

  • A “routine” intentional foul (like taking a deliberate foul to break up a cluster in some games) is usually penalized the same as any other foul: ball‑in‑hand and spotting the 9.reddit
  • “Unsportsmanlike conduct” covers actions that bring the sport into disrepute or clearly abuse the rules of fair play (for example, moving balls by hand, sharking, or repeatedly abusing intentional fouls).
Under WPA rules, unsportsmanlike conduct can be penalized as a serious foul, up to loss of rack or stronger discipline, but it is at the referee’s discretion.wpapool

In most modern 9‑ball interpretations, the specific tactic you describe—knowingly fouling to knock in a hanging 9 so it gets spotted—is treated as a perfectly legal tactical foul:

  • Common league and tournament guidance explicitly notes that pocketing the 9 on a foul results in the 9 being spotted and ball‑in‑hand, and players sometimes choose this intentionally to avoid leaving an easy win.
  • As long as you’re not doing anything outside the normal stroke (like pushing balls around with your hand), it’s usually not considered unsportsmanlike and not loss of game.

So in 9 ball if the 9 ball is sitting in the corner pocket and I have no shot at it. If I take my cue and hit the 9 directly in the corner with out using the cue ball, this is just a standard foul. The 9 ball is just spotted and the opponent gets ball in hand?

Breaking ground on new backyard pool hall

K
My pool hall is coming along very well! They're already putting the decking on the roof and only have worked on the building Friday and this morning. Guys are good! Thats my biggest pecan tree on the other side of the pool hall, it's about 10 years old and starting to produce. It's 20 feet tall.

I had a big oak tree in front of my place that died last year and I cut it down and burned it in place. So I put 3 more Pawnee pecan trees in it's place plus one more Jackson pecan tree near my turn around area of my driveway. The Jackaon tree is a pollinator and produces nice pecans, i have two of those. That gives me 14 pecan trees and 3 Hican trees which are hickory trees with a Mahan pecan limb grafted on them to make a Hican tree!
