    Only every 10? Amateur... Every 8 here ;)

    Mosconi cup

    While I'd love to see Earl vs Jayson for the (admittedly small) chance Earl would channel his inner youth and bend Shaw over his proverbial knee, I'd rather see SVB in there to give us our best shot at the W.

    Mosconi cup

    I recall commentary at one point indicating there were 2,500 total seats, with 50 seats still remaining - pretty sure you're spot-on.

    Joss Block Letter Cues

    This is a bit of a dated comparison but should help at least define a smaller era.

    Carbon Fiber Shaft Poll

    Tried several with my existing butt at the time, and the one I ended up choosing was tied for second with Predator, and behind the Cuetec, in terms of feel and keeping predictably consistant, low deflection. I ended up chooosing and prefering the Becue for how, while it's a great standalone CF...

    You are all missing the boat!! Ned Morris cues are the best playing cues I've (and my buddies) played with!

    I've owned two cues by Ned. The first was a sneaky pete I won in a raffle. I loved everything about it except for one thing: I absolutely hated that it played better than my Kikel, which had been my player and the best I'd shot with (for me) to that point. I ended up moving on to one of his...

    Perception versus Reality on CF

    I'll chime in to concur 100% with this, but with caveat. I went through the gamut of CF shafts last summer in Vegas, trying each on my Ned Morris butt (3/8x10 ivory joint), and wasn't terribly impressed by any of them - the ones I liked the best were the Becue and the Cynergy, but neither...

    APA rules question

    If a player has a cue they want to turn to essentially only for jump shots and tries to justify it based on it being of a design that is reasonable for 'someone' to use for the majority of their shots even though they only want to use it for the jumps, they're in complete violation of the spirit...

    APA rules question

    We can sit here all day and conjecture, and can all believe we are right, or the other is wrong, or something in between, but there's one point that makes the logical resolution crystal clear. We're all trying to interpret the rules in a way that makes sense to us, but in the end it is the...

    APA rules question

    The Rules Booklet is abbreviated - the Team Manual is more comprehensive. Interesting to note an opening comment in the Rule Book, though: Italics added to emphasize a point to ponder with regards to this thread (yes, I am aware of the irony of my mentioning it and then providing my...

    APA rules question

    Even in Vegas, the referees have inconsistency and are subject to not only poor interpretation of poorly worded rules, but occasional misunderstanding of clearly stated ones. The rules could be simplified by changing the language used to read something more along the lines of "While a player...

    APA rules question

    The book isn't well written, but even so, I think the answer here is fully and adequately provided, as follows, unless you are willing to willfully attempt to circumvent the spirit of the rules just to try to gain an edge - and even then, any APA official with an understanding of the intent of...

    APA rules question

    I agree that the rulebook is, in general, horribly written and does a very poor job of tightly defining the rules. That said... The first authority with whom you should check is your local LO. Their interpretation will supercede the national body until you get to HLT events. This has come up...
