OHB,I have a question for you.Recently me and Zim started the Gateway Amateur 9 ball tour for B and C players.In your opinion are these palyers considered A players -Pat Wagner -Greg Bauswell -P J Hoffmann -Shane Keene -Loren Schuette Thanks ahead of time for your input.Just trying to keep it...

The APA is a joke.The only way you can win is to sandbag.Nit tells it like it is,and as long as people keep excepting the APA as a "fair" league they have to deal with the repercussions.That is why me and Zim started our own league where we live.Come around to our way of thinking and the APA...

Thanks for the compliments Midwikkid,I thought the tournament went well.Not to mention the fact that we only had 10 tables to work with.When I realized we had 78 players signed in I thought it would run in to Sunday.Alton's tourney will run even smoother because I will have my own...

Nit Check Your Pm's

YES,I WOULD PROBABLY AGREE LEAGUES ARE LOSING PLAYERS BECAUSE OF INADEQUATE HANDICAPS.ME AND ZIMS RACK RECENTLY STARTED AN EIGHT BALL BAR LEAGUE.OUR HANDICAP SYSTEM IS SIMPLE, 4 MAN TEAMS,YOU PLAY EVERYONE ONCE.BALLS OVER GAMES IS YOUR AVERAGE.TEAM TOTALS MINUS EACH OTHER FOR TOTAL BALL...

Good posts teach,I shot is teach's league for about 5 years and his local handicapping,by a league operator was pretty accurate,as long as the league operator did not get lazy.I still like the 4 man or 5 man leagues that use a straight up ball count as a score and handicap.You play everyone once...

The Best System I've Seen Is To Use A Ball Average, And Score The Match By Total Balls Made.with The Handicap Included.also Do Not Have Playoffs.this Eliminates Sandbagging.i've Played Apa,vnea,bud Light,etc.,this Seems The Fairest One To Me.

Teacherman,remember Me? I Was The Captain Of Deiters Inn,when Your Troy Location Was Open.good To Hear From You Again.what's With The Negative Comments Towards People? In All Those Years In Your Pool Halls,i Never Heard A Negative Thing Said About You Or From You.what Does Your League Consist Of...

I Also Played For Zims Team.,mike Had A Great Session.he Deserved To Be The "top Gun".i Went 10-6 This Session And I Think I Finshed About 10th For The Top Gun.for A 1st Session Team To Qualify For The Ltc Is An Accomplishment In Itself.congratulations On The Mvp Mike.now Lets Take The Ltc.that...

I WOULD SAY THE FAIREST WAY TO HANDICAP IS BALLS PER INNING.WHEN U SET UP YOUR LEAGUE HAVE ALL OF THE EVEN PLAYERS PLAY EACH OTHER EVEN UP AND COUNT IT AS A MATCH SO THERE WONT BE ANY SANDBAGGING.I CANT REMEMBER THE FORMULA ANYMORE ITS BEEN TOO LONG.ITS REQUIRES BOTH PLAYERS BPIS AND THE FINAL...

Your right there mick.We sent a team to the annual Dr.cue tournament in Decatur Illinois in April,im a 5 handicap and I played a 3.So its a race 4 to 2 right.This 3 beat me 2 to 0 in 4 innings and I played 2 decent safeties.oh well it happens everywhere.

IVE PLAYED IN THE APA FOR A YEAR,ITS A DECENT HANDICAP SYSTEM FROM WHAT IVE SEEN.THERE ARE SOME PLAYERS THAT MANIPULATE THE SYSTEM PRETTY GOOD BUT I THINK YOU WILL FIND THAT IN EVERY SYSTEM.THE THING I DONT LIKE IS THE PAYOUT,WE FINISHED 2ND IN THE REGULAR SEASON AND 2ND IN THE PLAYOFFS AND ONLY...

HEY ZIM,I ALWAYS THOUGHT THE RULE WAS IF U GIVE UP THE GAME,WHETHER U UNSCREW YOUR CUE OR JUST SAY THATS GOOD THAT IT WAS OVER.ITS AN UNWRITTEN RULE,I GUESS THATS WHY ITS A GOOD POINT TO BRING IT UP.THERE SHOULD BE A WRITTEN RULE ABOUT IT IN ALL LEAGUES.I DONT KNOW IF THERE IS OR NOT?GOOD POINT.

JUST WANTED TO TELL EVERYONE HELLO,ME AND ZIMS RACK ARE GREAT FRIENDS,HE TOLD ME ABOUT THIS SITE AND ITS PRETTY COOL.WE GOT INTRODUCED TO POOL AT MY FAMILYS HOUSE YEARS AGO.WE PLAYED IN LEAGUES AND TOURNEYS UNTIL ZIM WENT INTO THE AIR FORCE.JUST THOUGHT I WOULD INTRODUCE MYSELF...
