Before the Mosconi I heard an interview with one of the European players (think it was Moritz, but may be misremembering) and he'd mentioned about them all living together in the run up to it to practice and bond and he said they all took it in turn to cook for the whole group, but Filler didn't join in and just had his own food separately as he's a fussy eater (don't think he used that phrase, but it was obviously implied).

I presume your comment is a joke, but it wouldn't surprise me if it was actually true.

Sigel said when he was a kid he'd play Crane and ol Irv would hit him with a 200package and then lock him up, dead safe. Said he was brutal even playing for nothing.

I have played in 3 sessions of Ultimate Pool and I prefer it over the VNEA leagues. The shot clock is the biggest reason for that. I normally play league in an area where 2 minutes a shot is more the norm. So now I drive almost 2 hrs to play in UPL.

I played in the one in Denver, got in the money, shoulda been deeper but I wasn't aware you could chit a ball in another pocket you weren't aiming at and keep shooting, had em down by two games/lost on the hill.
Then....
When you got on the video table pit, the rules changed, 8 on the break was a win. When Matlock did that, boy was he surprised.

One great thing about the expansion of the Predator and WNT tours is the number of events in the U.S.

Four of Predator's eight big multi-events this year are taking place in the U.S. - Las Vegas, St Louis, San Antonio and Jacksonville. Asked about this, the Predator tour director said: "We are a U.S. based company."

The WNT, for its part, has the Florida Open, Arizona Open, Phoenix Open and U.S. Open, plus an expanded number of smaller events put on by partners.

I don't disagree but one of the problems with pool is that it DOESN'T have a 365 day calendar. The margins and the capital injection is so small that they only have off dates that they can afford to get venues. As it expands that might change. We'll have to see.
