BCAPL does not require any particular scoring system for any game, including 8-Ball. Each league may select whatever system they wish. A "standard" CSI format is available, but its use is not required. By rule, in CSI 8-ball, illegally pocketed balls are scored in favor of the player with that group. So the losing player in any weird situation would be scored per the particular system used.

Any idea how these WPA changes will filter down to CSI and therefore BCAPL?

I'm most curious about the all-ball fouls rule.

I keep a half-dozen in my case...I've been using Pooldawg8's tips for over ten years. His last a long time and play as good as any layered tip I've ever used.

It’s a great training tool. Period

I don't think lifting weights has anything to do with it , but whatever turns your crank (my cue weighs 18.6 oz heavy enough for me)

If it's just to improve accuracy and consistency, you don't need a rack; just play the shot below and stop the cue ball.

I was a gym rat for 20 years. Lower body affected my pool game the first couple years. It made me shake at the table because my legs were so sore. The rest of the body really had no effect from what I recall.

As I kept going through the years, I prioritized my lifting schedule, and it didn’t have any effect on pool.


Actually, recently I’ve been a bum and haven’t gone to the gym in a year. Just this week I went 4 days in a row. Only light work, just the bare 20kg barbell, and doing Olympic lifting warmup training. My entire body is sore right now because it’s been a year. But it hasn’t bothered my pool game.

Hi, I was wondering if you could do shipping to Canada?

Depends on how heavy you lift- I've been lifting heavy (for me- there are guys at the gym much stronger than me) for decades on a consistent basis and I still get sore- it alleviates after a few days of training a body part, but you still get sore.

Exactly.

How I understand lifting weight in terms of building muscle. You must get sore to increase gains. If you are not getting sore then you are only maintaining your current muscle mass.

If you are lifting regularly then you probably have your "max out" day once in a while, and should definitely be getting sore on that day at the very least.

Now if only someone can convince the APA to discard the “take what you make” 8-ball break rule…..

Disclaimer: I no longer play in the APA.

There is a long list of “rules” in the APA that go against the official rules of pool. Many of them are “sub optimal.”
