Saturday the top forearm and both lower arrows in photo were worked pretty hard, for me. I'm still sore today, Wednesday. I played for almost 8 hours that day/night.
What? I've played bar rules and have never heard of that one.
"Another quirk I come across sometimes is "one spot", where if your opponent scratches you can only place the cue ball on the head spot."
Do you mean in the "kitchen"? That's a common bar room rule where I'm from. It's different...
Around here, it's 500 if you're inactive. I'll probably never join one of those tournaments. 500 is way above my skill level. I played my friend's son who's 440ish. The young man waxed my ass!
