My bad. Sorry. Part of the rule is if you call safe no ball that goes in counts. I think I created a bad thread on my own. :frown:

Your thoughts please. The one new rule is: Unless the player at the table calls a safe, the incoming player ALWAYS has the option of giving the shot back. For this thread absolutely no other rule changes please or the thread will go way off topic.

Table for announcers I know it was mentioned once before, but the table needs to be such that the guy in the middle does not sit in front of the two people on the ends. Currently, it forces the two end guys to talk to each other behind the back of the guy in the middle. Not good.

Per Match Cost What is the "per match" cost? I live on the East Coast and will not be able to watch any matches that start at 7:00PM i.e. 10:00PM my time? :(

Me Too I have a matching set of cues from Steve. You cannot go wrong working with him. I could not be happier with the work he has done for me.

I see lots of "big name" pros wearing the Predator patch and I guess that means playing with at least a Predator shaft. Are there any "big name" pros playing with OB shafts? I've played with both and see very little difference between the two yet I see no OB patches on any of the "big name"...

Talked to Jay this past Saturday and he said he received Stevie's deposit and that Stevie is now in.

I think the arena rules are great. I believe the break has become too important in 9 ball especially but also in 10 ball. And knowing that some of the players know how to mess with the rack makes it even worse. I want to see players making balls one at a time and not having the break...

Jay, Sent deposit for Stevie Moore to you today. Will check with you on Friday to make sure you got it. Frank

$10 an hour for the players to practice I heard that the players are being charged $10 an hour to practice. Can that be true?? Does that seem right? Just wondering.

"Dress codes ain't ever done shit for pool, nor will they ever." Thanks for proving my point. Some will never get it and you are indeed one of those. Those who say it can't be done should at least get out of the way of those who are doing it. Thank you again, Mr. Fleming, for trying to...

Great Post - even with pictures to help. It is a shame that many in the US pool world still don't get it and many never will.

I think there is a more important question. That is, what dress code would best promote professional pool in the USA and give Mr. Fleming's concept the best chance of attracting major sponsors and national television?

I think you are "Right On Target".

Mr. Fleming's idea is great. The shot clock is way overdue for the men. This could be the start of a USA pro tour. With a good dress code it may be something that would interest national television. And we can be a part of the beginning. Thanks for the opportunity to let me say that I...
