John Lewis makes what he made with the BCA, that's no secret? John Lewis was not the dictator of the BCA League System he was it's employee. He did not make policy. When the BCA moved to Colorado Springs it was to be close to the USOC. They hired Steve Ducoff to guide them through the process...

Playing for money has nothing to do with wether your any good or not! Money only effects your game if you let it and if you let it effect your game something is wrong. Just like if you let the person at the bar effect your game. Too many people in billiards judge their success by playing for...

A Utah company (the name of escapes me for the moment) that supplies food services supplies much of Las Vegas (that why it's hard to find a pepsi in the Riv and most of LV) the same company supplies many college's as well-"Ogden Food Services" I believe is the name. You might as well get a list...

Don't worry Denise your argueing with those who just don't get it! The rest of us that do are beyond this. They don't think that the Board of Directors of the BCA has done anything wrong. They don't think that persuing US Olympic Commitee recongnition of billiards will have any positive effect...

You can buy something that plays like all the rest or try a SW, Southwest Cues that is, Laurie Franklin Las Vegas 702-870-9615, If your in Arizona you can look up Dale Teague "LTD Cues" (480-233-9928) and see what he has built and for sale. He builds the same way as SW for alot less. But only...

Are you talking about Washington state or BC or where?

Mike can be reach through his web site http://www.geocities.com/Colosseum/Bleachers/8124/ you'v heard from Mark Griffen the owner of the BCA Pool League, also...

I feel Babe has come up with a great way to bring 14.1 back to the prominence it once had as the "championship game". I hope his idea can be given a chance to work. I think Babe wants to give something back to the game that gave so much to him. I hope all you pool players out there will try...

Ya YA Barry Emerson took second, Raul third, Don W. fourth, Stan T and Ed H 5th, Dumo & Dick T 7th; Richy G, Scott C, Carl and Jim B were 9th Have a nice 4th

Colin's point is good, but your team mates may have a point also, when i am in league and it is my turn to play I am focused on the table and nothing else matters whether it is my shot or not. My mind set is I am going to win! I don't want stray thoughts entering my head so I refrane from...

M. Fats has a little book with his name on it that is cheap. Not a whole lot of info in it. but it does have a way of quickly diesecting (sp) two lines to find the natural bank point. Draw a line from the center of the OB to the center of the pocket opposite of the one you want to put the OB...

Santo's S. took first, Stan T. ended up fifth; I'll look into the the others and get back to you later (I think Pat Vice was second)

Good choices Very good citations of the rules that apply. A side note for clarity is that "presiding" means that a referee is in charge of the match from start to finish. That is, they rack, call shots if required, replace balls, clarify rules when appropriate, keep score and watch all hits...

scotch The BCA publishes the scotch rules only in the annual tournament play book if you e-mail Linda P. at the BCA (www.bca-pool.com) soon she may be able to send you an extra copy or fax the rules to you. As to "Pro Express", you may be refering to Texas Express (see www. texasexpress.com)...

I am sure we all try to think before we speak (or write), I know you do and so do I. When the ACS formed they adopted the rules that the BCA had operated under. As of Thursday at a Board meeting full Dual Sanctioning was approved. Personally for the last 8 years I have fought dual sanctioning...
