    Changing of the guard in pro pool

    You're both correct and thanks for pointing out my mistake. He was 53 when he won his second in 1998 (not 1991).

    Changing of the guard in pro pool

    A lot has been mentioned about Shane's performance and win at the age of 43. Keep in mind that Buddy won the US Open at 53 (1998) and Mike Lebron was the oldest at 54 (1988).

    Two of the upcoming WNT ranking events canceled

    I was basing it on the fact that MR has already cancelled two events very close to their dates and the OP's comment in the first post: Scott Frost posted on Facebook earlier today pleading for more signups for the Yuma Open. It's a 128-player, single-elimination bracket. That's tough action...

    SVB vs Josh Filler announced for Feb 6th at NYC's Amsterdam Billiards

    In my mind, there's nothing better than a GC with green Simonis cloth and a set of Centennials.

    Safe travels to those attending the Derby City Classic this year
