In case anyone is interested, here are the 1 pocket brackets; https://digitalpool.com/tournaments/2026-us-open-one-pocket-championship/bracket

My guess on the final 4 is SVB, Filler, Corteza, Morra

Drop $100 on a box of them. Keep one in your case at all times. When you get pissed off, take one out, put it together and snap it over your knee. Repeat. :)

Here is my take on longer cues/playing full time with extensions; About 7 years ago I tried out a long, probably 8 inch extension, for the hell of it in a 9 ball tournament. I shot super straight, made long shots seem easier and I won the fairly big tournament. So, after that I was on the...

Tyler has dogged 3 hill-hill 9 balls. Score could be 4-4 easily. Leave him off the team next year. Get someone that can handle pressure.

League scoring is weird... it works out in the end after a session of many (20+) weeks, but in that time even the top players will have horrendous nights where the rolls don't go their way and/or they miss a shot they really should make. It seems I always have a slump during our league (27...

Just piss in the sink!

Second ball. If you hit it really good you'll likely make a ball. If you hit it ok to crappy, you'll likely not make anything and leave a mess. I did a long term experiment a few years ago in my 8 ball league; For a whole season (about 125 games of 8 ball with me breaking 50% of them)... 1...

SLOW PLAY. Most everything else I can tolerate. I'd love to play in a 8 ball tournament with a 20 second shot clock, with maybe one 20 second extension per rack. And 20 seconds doesn't give you time to annoy me much, so do whatever you want!

Actually works out to $0.39/hour

Not 25, but rather 24 of them because that's how many come from a carton. 12*2. I've been guilty in the distant pass of making that many and eating them in a single evening.

I HATE slow play and would love to play with shot clocks all the time for 8/9/10 ball. As Bob said, Chess Clocks (placed between the players) would be the way to go. It accomplishes two things; Speed up the match, duh. and Focuses people to get away from the table when their inning is over...

I like this drill for a quick warm up... gets you focused enough to play well for a match and promotes a smooth stroke. Not that difficult from the baulk line, but gets tricky if you move the line of balls back a diamond.

Yeah, Karl asked him why he didn't jump on the table and he said he hurt his leg/knee jumping off last time.

How can you view these matches? All I see on Youtube is live scoreboards.
