actually I was not sitting with the players, I had my own tv and I watched the filming live and had headsets so that I could hear the commentating and run stats down to the commentators if they wanted them. The pressure was on me..I couldn't miss a thing and then I had to count and calculate...

You start out with 1000 points. A mark is made when you leave the table, noting why you left the table. So I would give you one error for break. That is how whole match is scored..balls made versus errors gives you your accustat number. Notations are marked down for each player and why they left...

I used to always be the accu-stats girl in Reno, at the Sands Regency. Back in the early 90's. I love Accu-Stats they were all a blast to work with and have fantastic product! Anyway that being said, I have loved any of the "player review" tapes/dvds because you get to hear what the actual...

I personally won them in local qualifiers in the bay area in California. They were not offered for sale, they said regional champion on the other side of the mug, at least one of my mugs says that, I will have to recheck on the other.

Back in the 90's, yes I've been playing pool awhile, I used to spend 10 days every 6 months, at the Sands Regency in Reno, Nevada. Pretty much my whole life I have had a meager income, but I loved pool, and without a table at home, I had to become very enterprising in order to afford my pool...

Hi all, I will be playing at mr cues this weekend. We have a womens regional tour, in which it is a handicapped format, $500 added. I will have to give up to 4 games in a race to 8, at the most, and an even match with a few others such as betty sessions, and amy chen. We have 8 stops at mr cues...

This was my very first national event I participated in. I have 2 mugs from winning local events qualifying me to the national participation level. My first mug was from 1984, and the full name of the event was "Lite Beer {$300,000}World Serires of Tavern Pool." I have a mug for 1985 as well...

Have you thought about handicapping the entry fee as opposed to the game weight and/or ball weight? Perhaps from $5 to $25 entry fee. I've seen successful results with this format in past.

You betcha I am originally from California..The Great Entertainer I played at was in Concord and this was over 25 years ago. Rick Chudy was just starting to experiment with cues at this time. His work is amazing, love, love, love his cues. Tom Butler was my first coach back then, he is an...

Thanks for the best wishes Dave. I love pool so much that I played in tournaments regardless of my health. When your life may suddenly have a time limit coming up...it is important to do what you love and love what you do NOW! The people I know in the the pool world are my family..when you sick...

I am here for my second blog. Woo Hoo on following through! I didn't start playing pool until I was about 18. At the age of 18 my goal was to marry a handsome husband, and boy did I ever, he was the most handsome asshole! John was both physically and emotionally abusive, my life was constantly...

my login name reflects my preference i have a very tough diamond at home...love it!

Excellent choice Mike is amazing. I wish that he would make a historic Dvd for the whole pool world to enjoy. I guarantee it would re-enthuse all those who watched Mike share his love and enthusiasm for our history! Plus he is a CLASS ACT, I agree he must be and will be in the future.

Hi all or nobody...lol I am not really sure if anybody will read this or not. I am beginning to blog as a 2011 resolution commitment to myself. Who am I? My name is Lisa Davids, I was formally known as Lisa D'Atri but have recently married. I have been involved in all aspects of pool for over 20...

I believe the us open is and has always open to women. But the women of the WPBA are under contract to receive permission from WPBA to play in events that are not sanctioned with the WPBA. It seems that would be the logical answer to your question. Which has nothing to do with capabilities of...
