I address this in the video with examples and sound advice. This is not the problem you might think it is.

Please try to watch the video with an open mind, and let us know what you think after watching and thinking about the entire video.

Just curious, how can you tell him that it is not the problem he thinks it is?

Seriously Dave, I like your videos, but it feels more and more like you gatekeep.

IMO APA has amateur pool locked up. It's the only league where sandbagging is literally unheard of.

Um . . . no.

Chezka is a great pool shooter.

Jasmin is a great pool player.

League operators who get caught letting sandbagging occur can and do lose their franchises..It's a big deal. Annual dues $40, weekly playing fee's $8 and house green fee's can also be substantial. The active members in APA are unknown but I think they are around 200K. Going up against them is a difficult task. Now that Terry Bell passed away I'll be curious to see how they fare.

I went to acs last year and apa this year and the size difference is insane. It’s like comparing the amount of people that show up for a high school football and the amount of people that show up for the super bowl. Lol they would really have to screw up to kill that league.

It has been very humid in Central Florida as expected the last several days so I held off on putting top coat on the Anniversary.

Instead, on a detour, I started and nearly finished my take on something called a Carrooka table. Have I mentioned I'm easily distracted by shiny objects?

Carroka is like Carroms on a round table using snooker or pool rules. Not yet installed on this interpretation are the rubber bumpers. If you look close at the second image you can see the grooves for the bumpers. The commercial version uses solid wood rails but silicone bumpers seem like a fun addition.



Back to the topic at hand, I learned a good deal about using shellac and General Finishes High Performance Top Coat. Namely that both laid down and dried without issue even in this humidity. With shellac I waited five to ten minutes between toner coats. With the water based top coat, two hours sanded well and accepted the next coat. As a result I should be back to applying top coat to the Anniversary soon.

Did anyone in an old guys softball league ever quit because they had to run around 4 bases instead of just 3?

Teach them the rules as they exist, and move on....

That’s not even close to being what this is again I speak from a place of experience with this rule from 30 years ago. theres a reason they changed the rules to you can move the ball back.

Dude I don’t even need to watch this. I’m not getting ball in hand from some poor new apa player because there damn shirt touches a ball. If you want to treat the pro’s like this great.. but they are amateurs. All this going to do is start arguments in bars over bs. How do I know this .. BECAUSE I SAW IT WEEK AFTER WEEK 30 YEARS AGO! This isn’t new . Our local bca and acs was like this way back then. The ball get’s bumped your opponent moves it back that’s fine for amateur pool.

Nah. I think anyone interested enough in the game to play in league can learn to play by all the rules. It might take more sportsmanship, though. If they are told what the rule is going to be, I think they would go along.

God guys like you are just a pompous ass.. it’s not about being interested in learning the rules. It’s ticky tack trash that’s just going to start fights and isn’t necessary in an amateur league. Not everyone is in leagues to be a pro..some just enjoy the game and a night out and silly rules like this just hurt the game for the casual player. We are in no position to be chasing anyone from playing pool.

What about girls with huge breasts? What do they do . How do they stop them from hanging down when trying to shoot a shot? That was another common sense reason we changed the rule

Perhaps leagues could also tier their divisions, and the higher up one goes in targeted skill level, the stricter the rules become, e.g., All Ball Fouls.

Interesting idea, but would you then have different rules in effect depending on who was at the table if a 6 was playing a 3?
