I'm real confused.... comparing the Carom room tournament on Oct 9 and Jeremy's tournament. The Carom Room paid out $1906 with 50 players and Jeremy paid out 2150 with 47 layers. I assume the difference is that The Carom Room prorates the added $$ where Jeremy just flat out added $1000. I...

I have a rules/strategy question that was asked on RSB. Why would you call a safety? The rules are kind of strange and I don't see any advantage of actually calling a safety. 4.6 Safety Play 1. On any shot after the break (and push-out, if one occurs), you may declare a safety. You must...

I'm confused. Part of your post says this tournament ends on Sunday the 27th and part says Monday the 28th. What are the REAL dates for this tournament? PatH

Eydie, I play (or sub) in 3 leagues. One is a Masters type league and puts on a steak feed like yours. I think they charge $15 per player. They usually work out something with the beer distributer for free beer and they provide free soft drinks. The prize structure is a little more...

[ Then you gotta like Eydie and BOB romano in the midwest. great couple of people hope you like my answers............................mike Eydie and Bob don't actually run their tournaments. I'd consider them promoters and organizers. John Stitch has run their tournaments in the past and...

Sportsmans Bar is the team I sub occasionally for during the regular season. That was a pretty strong team and all nice guys. PatH

I think Larry is listed on the BCA pro list and not eligible for the open event. PatH

I've been playing with a 17.5 oz Lebow for about 6 months and love it. I also have an 18.5 Schon that feels pretty good too. Guess I just like a lighter cue. PatH

Pam Bell is now Pam Patton and playing around Wis/Mn. PatH
