Is there a good website for any of these leagues (specific to DSM area)? I know for APA and maybe others the national site will give you contact info at least, but I'm looking for nights/locations that might be included on a local website. I didn't play leagues before I left, so I don't really...

What options are there for league pool in Des Moines? I recently moved back and played APA in Texas. I'll probably end up joining an APA team as I have a friend looking for some players, but was wondering what other options there are and any comments on any of them. Thanks in advance!

Looks like Pool may not have made the cut? http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/news/story?id=5870190 Waiting for my magazine to come through snail mail.

I bought a McDermott and Aska case from a dealer on E-bay. Can't give you opinion on their cues, but the case was a good case for a starter.

The main reason I didn't order the PPV was I had league pool two nights this week and was busy last night. Would it be worth pushing to get pool halls to get the PPV be worth it in the future? If a pool hall was playing it, then TAR would get more advertising to pool players who may not...

I believe you can use a break cue/separate cue on the break and then whatever cue you begin playing with is the cue you have to continue using throughout the whole game. You aren't allowed to switch back to your break cue in the middle of a game. But you could break with a break cue and use it...

Weren't these sold a couple years ago and were pulled off the shelves by whatever company was making them? Are you asking in the sense of collectors items, how much people think they are worth?

It sounds like the reasoning behind moving you up to a 15 weren't valid, but it did result with you working hard and playing like one. You still split 1st/2nd place money. I'm a little confused why you had problems not cashing the last 6 tournaments as a 14 if you were able to play that well...

Supporting local business is always good. It also gives you a more personal experience than buying online usually. Just bringing up the prices online, because I had never heard of the brand (or heard much about it). Always helps to do your research, but paying a little more and being able to...

I'm curious which Dufferin you bought. I have never really heard of it much and a quick google showed several for sale for $120 or less -> Link

I see a lot of complain about bringing kids in. Why don't you have an age requirement of around 13/14. It seems you want to be able to let people bring in their sons or daughters who enjoy playing pool or cater toward the junior levels. I would consider this to be teenage aged. You could...

Can't hurt to do the interview and tell your story. Never know who will be out there listening - even if they do buy some of your old books. Or maybe someone will read it and be interested in seeing more. Like Tbeaux said, it can't hurt to do the interview in this economy. Options are always...

My team uses a google spreadsheet to keep stats of wins and loses and team scores. I think Google has all the items you are looking for (Shared Documents, Groups, Calendar, etc.) I used a majority of Google's tools to help a group I was working on a student project with to sync up calendars...
