Obviously I know it's the option to get back into the tournament, but when you buy in, does everyone get rebracketed after the current round has finished? Or is there a separate bracket for people who bought in? Also, is it usually more expensive to get a rebuy or does it depend on what the TD...

If you are in New Jersey, definitely check out Bergen Billiards. The guy who owns it has done an amazing job at refurbishing the place and it has become a great hall. If you are looking for nine ball tournaments, they host weekday single day tournaments on mondays and wednesdays IIRC. Raxx is...

I saw the recap video of that frame. They started it with all the balls clustered up and I've yet to figure out how that can even happen. It was odd how the producers/refs sort of forced the players to do something which you can tell they were both annoyed by it.

Speaking of Archer, two guys at my local hall were having a discussion on Archer's best vs Shane's best. The only thing of prime Archer I've seen is what's on video but we are coming onto about 15+ years of Shane being the best American player aswell as a world beater in whatever he enters. Was...

I was just watching some UP play and noticed right away that the reds are now striped. They also seem to have a graphic in their middle like american balls have numbers. When did this change come about and why? I'm sure it has to do with sponsorship, but I'd imagine they are trying to lure some...

You know, I never cared for the gambling side of pool but I've always found it interesting how other people have no problem putting up so much money on one player they are hoping will win. It literally makes no sense to me that those people would put up mid 5 figures. But hey, if they have the...

Is there a beginners guide video of how to play 3 cushion? At least this version as I know there is more than one variation to this game. I've always liked watching the game but never actually stopped to learn how it is played.

If I were to make a list on top ten, it would only include 9 ball and 10 ball, as those are the only games considered as the pro games. Games like Banks and One Pocket are too niche and do not appeal to the mass audience that the WPA, WNT and Predator group are aiming for. With that said, in no...

Is that the same make and model of car that the principal drove in Ferris Bueller's Day Off?

Don't know if it would be much help, but here are some pictures I took. With the exception of the first piece which has been inside the company van since it was disassembled, Unfortunately I was too busy to put the other parts away. They were covered in snow and now some rain that dropped here...

Wow, now that's a hell of a look for a table. Nice to see it has been taken care of considering its age.

There is a group in Long Island, NY that does a few call shot, call safe 10 ball events and they do well. But it's an acquired taste. Perosnally, I'd rather watch the pros do call shot, call safe as they are in the different world compared to even the best shortstop players. Those guys and girls...

Some solid play throughout the tournament from what I saw but I'll agree with what some said, it seems the players were super tired. But I appreciate the ones who came out and participated.

I have no idea if I'm asking the right question but may aswell ask it with the hopes someone understands. So my job is throwing away a custom office desk that was made for one of my bosses. It's a pretty solid desk and some of the pieces are heavy. I was told it was made about 15 years ago...
