That was me. It is at a premier pool hall in a large metro area. They got 8 diamond bar tables and started the BCA league because the better players wanted to be able to get qualified for the BCA regional and national events. So it's those players and players who like to compete with those players.
So yeah, "Chock full of killers" is a pretty good description.
But that being said I don't mean they run out every time. Just that they can and do sometimes. Obviously the worst players don't run out as much as the best players but they are still capable of it.
And if you dog a runout...good chance you're never getting a shot at your ball again.
Not trying to belittle the ability of a bcapl player to break and run but even I as an apa 5 have way more break and runs in usapl than I do in apa because of the open break rule. Table runs after your opponent scratches on the break are also easier in bcapl due to bih anywhere on the table bs having to shoot from the kitchen as in apa.
Does the fact that i can do that make me better than the average apa player ?
Then again....maybe that's why I like usapl so much. Feel like a stronger player with those break and runs and table runs vs not getting as many in apa . :grin-square:
