Proposed TAR - TOI VS NO AIMING SYSTEM

Yes, without question 'Two Shot Shoot Out' makes "One Foul" pale in comparison.

I really like One Pocket, but it's a very different type game and although it's strategic, it's far more defensively designed than the SHOOT OUT> the Two Shot enables you to see the absolute finest in shot making, where as in One Foul you may just see run outs and safeties most of the time......no real "Sparring".....it's more like great boxers hitting a speed and heavy bag with no real "hand to hand" combat to enjoy......that's actually a good analogy.

'The Shoot Out is the Teacher'

If 2 foul is such a great game
Then why don't any of the old school guys play it ?
I have only seen 1 guy want to play it and now cj your the 2nd
 
The Game, like the Pledge of Allegiance, starts with "I", and ends with "ALL".

Yes there are times when scoring you will be faced with selling out if you miss.
I've played enough to understand getting behind balls.

Lucky for you I'm not a top player,you would get played.;):p

You don't have to be a "top player" to play the game with me.....that's the beauty of the game, it can be played no matter the gender, skill level, age, or political affiliation. :D

we can continue to do the exact same things and expect the same results

The one foul game was marketed extremely well and all of the top players were required to play it in every tournament .....as time went on it disappeared completely and the game dropped down over 50% in popularity and disappeared completely off TV.

The only hope now is Bonus Ball.....or bringing back 'Two Shot Shoot Out' ........

or we can continue to do the exact same things and expect the same results.....there will be people that act like they hate those that want to truly change the game....and at the end of the day personal sacrifices must be made - friendships won and lost......and such is life.

We always have a choice in life, continue to do the things that led to failure or change things to succeed. It's certainly not the just the rules, it's the entire way the game is promoted, marketed and advertised - these things must all die for the new game to live.....or it will simply "die on the vine".

This is true in this day and age in many different ways, shapes and forms. Change is painful, however pain is the stepping stone to personal and business growth. 'The Inner Game is the Teacher'

If change is needed? Why go back to a game we played many years ago ?
 
change is not recommended, it's too painful.

No, for some people, Chris, change is not recommended, it's too painful.

I do wonder why you made this quote -
"Why go back to a game we played many years ago ?"
- and then this one as well -
"Not playing 2 foul as I have only played this once"

It doesn't matter you probably have only played one foul - when you want to play 2 Shot Shoot Out I'll play you 9 Ball here in Ft. Worth - we can play by the game ($50/100) with no time limit or we can play on a 10' table and bet higher..... we can play 15-20 ahead......I'm sure you'll get side action as well, but that's the best I can do, I'm on my way to show my partners the floor plan for the new Billiard Club right now.....it has to be the priority, it's the next step for me to promote the game on TV.....no matter what anyone says TV is the key to getting the Game's popularity back with the general public......a Show, not just two people playing.

The quote the game we played many years ago means that is what was played years ago
I have only played it 1 time vs cole Dickson
And I'll play you any game we play now days with no time limit
We will see how you hold up I don't think you will but we will see
 
I may even play one foul if we use a shot clock.

I guess we can play with a 20 second shot clock, that will make it more interesting. I may even play one foul if we use a shot clock.

Lol
Then if I say ok then you would find something else to add in
It's simple I'll play any of these games that everyone plays
10 ball
9 ball
8 ball
1pocket
Bar table
8. Ball
9 ball
10 ball
If you don't like any of these games no big deal we don't have action
But so you know I'll play long ahead sets with no time limit
 
.this is Texas, there are plenty of gamblers.

Ok, I'll play you 9 Ball with the Two Shot Shoot Out rules for $50 a game anytime you want to come to Ft. Worth. I've made it plain I'm not traveling to play pool at this time.

If you want to play one foul on a 10' table we can play using a 20 second shot clock.

I will also play Rodney, Johnny, Earl, Mike Dechaine, Dennis Hatch, or any other American player the same way here in Ft. Worth. I'm willing to play, just won't bet real high or travel right now because my focus can't be on pool, it must stay on business.

This seems fair to me, and I assure you there are people here that will bet on me, I just can't speak for them obviously......this is Texas, there are plenty of gamblers.

And what happened during that match? You didn't like the game or you lost? And if you lost, was it because he was a better player or because he got you in some kind of "gaffe" game you weren't used to playing?

Lol
I gave him the 8 and the breaks and he could break from the side pocket
He went busted at his own game

Damn! Sounds like you are a pro at it already. Maybe you should give CJ the same spot! :)

Nah...you wouldn't want to embarrass him like you did in that game...maybe you just better play him EVEN at 2F9B.
