    BCA league night - foul or no foul?

    So this came up tonight. The cueball and 8ball are a few millimetres apart. The shooter jacks up about 45degrees, and is playing away at an angle (you can kind of see this by the way the cueball shoots off to the left side) Foul, or no foul...

    Team Europe (vs) Team USA

    but the Mosconi Cup is a completely different dynamic than 1-on-1 "for the cash". i would probably fancy Earl against any of the Euro players in a race to 100 - but thats not the game. I do hope USA has a shake-up and has a real good go at it next year. sure, they took a beating. but they will...

    well the 2 leagues that run in the city are both handicapped which is great and means all skill levels are catered for. both have end of season prizes - the overall season winners getting a paid trip to Vegas. one league sends to VNEA. the other to BCA. both leagues are a couple of weeks into...

    Dukes Considering the amount you and your colleagues play, have you considered combining the effort and putting a team in the league?

    Skid

    though the cause of skids (or 'kicks' in snooker) hasn't been absolutely proven, it is widely believed to be electrostatic build up from the balls sliding across the cloth. the cyclops balls, being a different polymer composition, supposedly counters this. However if guys are reverting from the...

    Corey still in snooker championship

    I agree with celtic, and Jay on this one. Alex would likely murder anyone west of the atlantic on a snooker table. i doubt of TAR would show much interest, it would likely have to be 1 of 3 sets, with some pool thrown in there. the thing is, the guys in england are absolutely immersed in...

    Stolen cue!!! Barry Stewart has my cue.

    surely there is enough info on the OP's part to prove offer and acceptance with the correct party. all the sending, receiving and bits in between are semantics. you have enough documentation/correspondence for a lawyer to straighten this out quick smart. possession may be 9/10ths of the law, but...
