What time does this start?
I would like to know this also. Seems like the poster is missing a little bit of info.
What time does this start?
Morra's being spotted 15 games, i.e. he only has to go to 85.
Thanks! :thumbup:
edit - not to derail this thread or anything, but why don't they just say race to 100 & Morra gets 15. Why does he get 15 "on the wire" ... what's the significance of 'on the wire' vs. just 'he gets 15'? is it just cool pool gambling slang?
Just pool gambling slang. I would think that the phrase ‘on the wire’ is used more then ‘so and so gets 15’.
Don’t think anyone cares too much the way they describe the spot, but it would probably be best to say ‘Morra gets 15 games’. If it said ‘Morra gets 15’, some people might be confused whether he gets 15 time outs, 15 mulligans, 15 bathroom breaks, or 15 games.
Thanks! :thumbup:

Race to 45 will take a very very long time with these two

If john is getting 15 games on the wire, no chance to beat him unless both his arms fall off midmatch
Gets 15 what?
That's why.
"The wire" refers to the wire above the light with sliding beads on it for keeping score. When keeping score this way, you'd literally slide 15 beads over on Morra's side of the wire before the match began, making the spot "15 on the wire".
The phrase differentiates from other spots that would effect each individual rack. If he was being spotted 7 games, for instance, adding "on the wire" would help clarify that he's not being spotted the 7-ball each game.

I'd like to see Filler put up challenges like this. Give 15 games to a fargo 790-800 player.
Not sure he'd get many takers.
We need SVB vs Filler in a long race. This is supposed to happening.
race to 100 what? beers? chicken wings? text messages received while playing?
