    Buddy Hall's Superman Classic

    Hey. There was only 1 as far as I can remember. It was held at a new convention center at the time right off the 1-24 exit in Metropolis.. my old friend Scott Smith was the TD. I was running a few bets for Scott and also played in it. It was right after I moved back close to family here from...

    First Problem With Pirate Shipping

    Large, heavy, custom bee hives I manufacture. Yes, between $100 - $160 per box depending on the area. 30% discount is applied for shippers who spend 10k - 20k a year on shipping Fed Ex. West coast is the highest rates from where I ship. My discount only applies to the starting rate, not...

    las vegas open

    Yea, 10k winner take all. 40k bank invitational as well. Looks like a work around to get our banned players to show even though they are banned from the 10 ball. Was hoping the Predator events in 25 would be true open events. This is going to be disappointing for the BCA Nationals participants.

    First Problem With Pirate Shipping

    Fed Ex is by far the best shipping service in every way. But you pay for it... I get a 30% discount through Fed Ex. With my discount my average package cost is 130.00. Same box is around 90 bucks using pirate ship. Bad news is large boxes like mine they use UPS. UPS is by far the worse...

    Filler withdrawn from Reyes cup

    This sport and players were a easy target for a modern corporation to take over. They aren’t done with just 9 ball.... They are experts at manipulating social media, influencers, players contracts etc. The WPA is like stealing from a old grandma. They don't even know how to form a proper press...

    American Heyball.............

    I watched the finals late last night. In Australia I think. Yes Cory got second. 7-2 finals I think. His opponent made some crazy shots he fired in at 100 miles a hour. Cory caught a few bad rolls and simply missed more shots. Interesting the announcers bought or consigned all 16 tables...

    Proposed rules for tournament slow play in One Pocket and Banks

    I've never played a non tournament match using the Grady rule. Not even to practice it...lol We have had the Grady rule in most of the .org tournaments for a while now. I played in a tournament a few weeks ago at a big joint that didn't play three foul... The European .org tournament...

    Proposed rules for tournament slow play in One Pocket and Banks

    Eventually every tournament is going to have the Grady rule. Its coming and we both know it.... I know you don't like it... But its coming.. I know I strongly disagree how it's being implemented incorrectly to partially satisfy a non related ball spot rule...

    Dick Henry (Colorado Springs)

    There was a older guy who played in the HCPL against us in the early 80s that had the best bar table 8 ball side break I've ever seen. Its still memorable.. Very difficult to repeat with the new smaller cue balls. But when you see it you know. I remember the name but can't picture him...

    Welcome to Gestapo Billiards. Have a good time.

    Sign in Side Pockets in Paducah, Kentucky for all the years I played there. There were also un written rules like break pad for rotation, no tapping the cue ball on the spot. No sitting or leaning on the table... I think he kicked Buddy out one time because of it...lol Dickie kept his tables...
