Surprised you didn't share this news on FB - Long Island Pool

Congrats! Who did you play?

Would be great if some of these runs were captured on video. I know some guys posted clips of their runs in the past. I love watching and learning from them.

Miss a match = Loss, Make rule is there is no make-up's... Problem solved. :)

I've been watching a lot of old 14.1 matches where there's a referee calling the shots, safeties, and fouls. I understand why they announced the called shots in advanced, and the fouls when they were committed, but I never understood why they announced "Safety Allowed". When a called ball is...

I agree with you! ^^^^ Mike Sigel goes through each variation of below the rack break shots in this video starting around the 14 minute mark. Thanks for the response Sraightpool_99 http://youtu.be/-tBQ77zdMp8

Excellent point. I should have specified that I was referring to shots that clip the corner ball of the stack.... and the shots that contact mid-stack that can be followed out 3 rails....

The commentator on this match suggested that Deuel is fond of these break shots because Sigel was also. Don't know how true that is of Sigel, but Corey seems to definitely prefer these break shots. (See 22:00 min mark of this match) https://youtu.be/khCLEQX0uUc

Does anyone have a preference for "Under The Stack" break balls? They often seem to be available and offer great opportunities to open the pack and to keep your cue ball between the side pockets and the lower half of the table. I've notice that Corey Deuel has a preference for these types of...

George Fels was one of the most knowledgeable commentators I've heard, and I would love to watch any match that he is commentating on. It would be great if there was of list of matches that he's on... no matter who was playing! There's always something to learn from listening to him...

Can "Desperation - Missed Shot" be an option? :)

Does anyone know of any recorded matches where someone has run 100 balls or more after an opponent's opening break? (YouTube, AccuStats) I seem to recall Siegel doing so against Rempe years ago but I could be wrong. I'm thinking that is a rare occurrence...

This is great stuff! Thanks all!

Sounds like you should go back to including safety innings in scoring the league matches. This would certainly simplify things... and bring BPI's way down also!

I'll give it a try. Based on our match yesterday my BPI was 6.25 (safeties excluded). Does this mean I'm not a Pro? :(
