JA vs MD push out after the break match.

[stevelomako]

Dude...I'm being serious and you're making a mockery of this.

I'm only making half a mockery.

I am seriously considering a bucket break TAR match. It couldnt possibly create anymore controversy than racking and breaking.

Seriously...consider it. I think it would be awesome. Have the wind up with the bucket (mandatory 4 circular motions with bucket) then the toss. Balls go everywhere and you start from where the cue ball stops. If you scratch on the break tough titties.

Loser of the match loses his break bucket.

I know we're all joking and that's fine, sometimes we have to laugh to keep from ..... Until the game gets back on TV it's "dead in the water" anyway.

You might be joking but my friends and I are "barnstorming"!

If you want to be funny while we're starting to get serious I suggest you find another thread.


If you want to be serious...I challenge you to some bucket ball, race to 21, bet what you want to win.

Two things:

1. Half the people would be complaining that this isn't real pool unless it's on a 10' table with 4 1/8" pockets.

2. Dennis ends up winning (which wouldn't be wrong I guess)

This is perfect.

You break using a "Home Depot" bucket.

You shoot out of a "Slurpee" cup from 7-11.


Two major sponsers right off the bat.


Bring on the Pinoys!

You're right, carry on, I want to sweat the first "Bucket Billiards" match with Shane right handed playing Shane left handed with two tables, one with pockets too tight and one with pockets too loose. :thumbup:

We just need Howard Cosell to come back to do commentary.

They've bet on stranger things than this in Detroit...and for big money.

Mandatory to wear the bucket on your head while shooting? I can picture Shane practicing hours on end swinging that bucket like a lunatic.

2 shot foul

Well this is like every new idea, interesting and worth trying out.

So just to make it clear:

If a ball is potted on the break the player at the table have to push out.
No jumpsticks
2 fouls - I don´t get this one - I read what you have written but don´t get it really, normally 3 fouls - I know, I know I miss something here because you also say just 2 instead of 1 foul - please help me out.
btw isn´t it also good to make it a call game?
I mean how often do you see a good player luck a ball in anyway?

Please help me out here and this is what I will play tomorrow.
It´s fun, TOI, pinning, pivoting and know a new game:smile:

Btw CJ, did you see my mail? Would like some input please, been doing the things I wondered about and I´m getting there....

Instead of a single shot foul rule, getting BIH, they used to play push out, on any shot. So, a guy misses a shot and hooks you, you can push out, just like after the break. He gets the option to shoot, or pass it back. There is no easy BIH safety in this game. Guys who are the best overall shot makers, and the smartest, are gonna win. It does drag the game along a bit more tho.

This is gonna require some hand-made, custom buckets (none of this home depot plastic bucket bullshit)... and bucket protectors...

 

[stevelomako]

They've bet on stranger things than this in Detroit...and for big money.

The tables were always 5" pockets and it never stopped the big money from being bet.

The snooker table wasn't all that tight either and they gambled high on that also.

Bar tables were "buckets" and it didn't stop them there either.



The more an average person can't relate is no good.

You've got all these bar leaguers that don't see Pro's running way more racks than them so they can't relate how much better they really are than the average player.

Home Depot buckets are already being used for home-made ball polishers. Might as well do double-duty.

Freddie <~~~ and now we need custom bucket makers and bucket cases

Push Out after the break

Hi Guys,

NOT hijacking this thread and NOT looking for lots of replies.

Just a quick mention.

Pat Fleming developed HIS version of mandatory push-outs after the break a couple of years ago.

They are called Arena Rules, and have been used many times in the Simonis Arena at Sandcastle Billiards.

Here's a link to Pat's Arena Rules:

http://www.accu-stats.com/arenarules.pdf

Last year when Busty and Burford were visiting this match evolved using Arena Rules:

http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/22785615

Do they work, are they good?

NOT the point here. Just putting some context to the discussion.

Thanks,
Jim

I would like to make you all aware that I am offering Home Depot bucket conversions complete with tennis wrap grip or cork handle upgrade, Styrofoam and toothpick inlay and more. And you should see my fingernail polish ringwork - simply breathtaking! You can get an entry level, fully customized bucket for as little as 800 USD! With prices like that, how can you afford NOT to get one?!?!

Look... if you want to be some lame-o league banger, polishing his balls in a cuetec bucket, you go right ahead... real pool players polish their balls in custom buckets made with cocobolo and curly maple with mother of pearl inlays.

This is a funny thread because you all think that I went barking to JA. JA started this whole thing. Unfortunately there is a much bigger issue in pool besides two players playing and I spoke up about it a few weeks back. Well, lets just say He didn't like what I had to say and thats why this started.

As far as this past weekend. I know I may have said that the break was everything. Let me rephrase as Ive had a couple days to cool down. Shane played incredible. I am impressed. He barely missed a ball in two days and broke like KING KONG. I know I didn't play well at all but the reason for that is because I knew I couldn't mess up and it added a lot of pressure. But lets be honest, even if I did play my best and broke like he did, it still would have been tough to win.

I personally did not like the conditions this past weekend. I know Justin wants to build a superstar out of Shane and see packages, but the way the table is now, people are flying in for a second place check against him. With the other table it showed that he had to play well against people like JA, Busty and Orcullo with somewhat of a neutral break.

thats right on if u won it was cause u played good on a hard table. thats the way it should be. i guess the pockets were to tight for some players.

What ever happened to the 'Ahead' matches? Player to get so many games ahead wins the match. If it's a big enough gap, you'll see plenty of packages and lots of good play. And when it's over, the loser knows he's been beat. Leave all the rules and tables the way they are. Just go play some and see who has the best game. Heck, make it '3 matches ahead' of '15 games ahead'. That might last a few days, but you'd sure know who played the best in it.

Probably because TAR wants the match to have an actual conclusion at some reasonable point within a 2 or 3 day period.

 

[SKUNKBOY]

Agreed...but still, it's a real match.

I don't understand the question.

What ever happened to the "Ahead" matches?

Are you asking

1. Why TAR doesn't do "ahead matches" ?
2. whatever happened to the ahead matches that TAR have done?
3. What ever happened to Ahead Matches in pool in general?

All three have answers, but I don't know which you're asking.

1. Got answered just above me
2. To my knowledge, only free streaming Derby City Classic ahead matchups were streamed by TAR (which a lot were). I don't believe TAR has ever done a challenge matchup that was an ahead race.
3. Ahead matches were still well represented at the Derby City Classic last month.

Freddie <~~~ always behind not ahead
