That's awesome. We had two weekly home games. One at my place, and one at my buddy's place. We would charge everyone $5-10 for the food and drinks that the host provided for the evening. If someone brought food for the group, that person was paid. Since we were all friends, I didn't like...

I have no issue with him getting paid or playing in the tourney. It's a weekly bar tournament for $5. Getting someone to agree to run the tournament with all of the contrasting personalities is tough. I used to run bar tournaments back in the day and the bar paid for my entry. This depends...

Exactly.

Fair point!

A little background: I bought a Predator SP4 with 314-2 shaft over 20 years ago (maybe closer to 25) and absolutely loved it. I shot with that cue until sometime last year as I wanted to be able to add an extension and the butt cap on the SP4 was stripped out. A friend of mine uses that cue...

Not saying I agree with it, but this is how it was explained to me with regards to slop, specifically on the 8: Because it is a timed match, allowing slop on the 8 allows the player that is behind to sort of swing for the fences should they have made all of their object balls. This way, the...
