I want to see what silly rules are really out there, or that you can come up with....

I don't know how dumb or funny this one is, but we used to have a sign on the wall that said no spitting in the pockets! The funniest thing about it was we really needed it!

NO SCARECROW, denied....lol
 
Not a poolhall, but a local bar with an owner that takes immaculate care of his two Valley barboxes (yep, just regular ole coin-ops, but perfect cloth, balls cleaned and polished, etc.)....disallows jumping or cueing at greater than a 45% angle. Not really a weird rule (and I don't mind it at all since the tables and all play really well), but KINDA odd since it's only a pair of 7 foot Valleys.
 
If you're going to have sex on the pool table, please get all the way onto the bed of the table and don't ruin the cushions.
 
Hahaha i am liking these... C'mon guys over 100 views and only 5 replies... I am sure some one is holding out... :wink:

Here i will post another... umm...

I saw this in a billiards video game, just forgot which one but it said "No loud breaks" i was like what?!? :confused:

I've seen a sign in a poolhall that said "NO nits allowed". The funny part is almost everyday some body would ask what a nit was......Ron
 
At a local bar the sign by the table read, No Bottles or Cups in Pockets
Aparently the cups were placed in the pokets to catch the balls, The reference to bottles was people were putting the beer bottles in the corner pockets while racking.
 
No Gum Allowed.

Rule 1: Jumping is ONLY allowed by persons of the female persuasion and must be pre-approved and observed by the owner.

Rule 2: Multiple retries are permitted; however, Rule 1 applies in all instances.

Rule 3: Owner approved private sessions are between 2AM and dawn and must be conducted in the back room -- the one marked "Owner"
 
If your balls are dirty, please inform the counter person and he will clean them for you. If he can't clean them to your satisfaction, please inform the owner and he will not only clean them, but polish them as well. He has cleaned many players' balls with a smile. If you still aren't happy, then he will issue you a new set of balls since you probably don't have any of your own.

I made that one up and printed it when I managed Table Steaks in Denver. I would have taped it to the counter, but two factors prevented me. The cameras would have busted me with the owner so I showed it to quite few patrons and the other managers who all wanted me to put it up as joke on the owner. I meant to do it when I quit, but I guess you could say "I didn't have the balls."

True....

In a pool room I once went a sign read:

"Anyone caught playing in the chalk will be asked to leave!":eek:

Wow, I didn't know there were people with chalk fetishes!!!

No kidding!! I even took a pic with my phone just to show in case someone didn't believe me.

When I was 17 I went to this strange pool hall in miami. It was called Jade Gardens. On US-1 near the UM. What was strange about this place was that the property was a large building that had 1/4 was a pool room with gold crowns. The other 3/4 was apts, upstairs and downstairs. The pool room itself was completely empty and me and buddy got a table. We originally were not even going to stay because the room had very little if any air conditioning (big deal in miami!). So we rack the balls to play 9ball and I break. The lady who was behind the counter comes out and tells us that we cannot play 9ball and that breaking like that damages the rails. If we wanted to play we could only play 14.1, no games where you break the balls hard.
 
a favorite

One I like is knock a ball off the table, pay a dollar fine. The dollar goes in the jukebox some places, the tip jar others. With what is on the jukeboxes now I do favor feeding the tip jar but the dollar fine does discourage a lot of foolish jump shots and breaks.

Think I'm going to talk to Buffalo next time I am there. I don't mind the occasional loose ball but when the balls are all coming from one table and flying constantly it gets old. I've seen some guys that could just drop a twenty in the tip jar for starters!
