    How long before a home table pays off?

    When we play a race to 100, playing league rule 8 ball, I save $22 in table fees plus I can drink a $ can of budwiser(off sale price) as opposed to tree-fiddy up the block at the VFW.Love my MAN CAVE

    Stopping to collect yourself vs continuing

    I just learned something here. Hind sight being 20/20 ....last wed nite league should have been a lot better than it was if I had taken a walk around the table. If nothing else its good mantra.

    VNEA rule from the vnea rule book: 2. If the cue ball is pocketed or driven off the table,or the requirements of the Break are not met,it is a foul and the incoming player has cue ball in hand anywhere on the table.
