I pay what is required under the terms I accepted. Their policy is standard fair with almost any subscription service, including the service the company I work for sells. You can't build your business plan and policies tailored for the people that are trying to pay the absolute least possible...

For a group that is supposedly die hard pool fans, I can't believe the amount of hate over paying less than $10 more than you (mistakenly) thought you were going to pay to watch one of the premier events in the sport. Want to know why Pool doesn't get any love from mainstream media like ESPN...

Have the player turn their back to the table while the cue ball is cleaned, problem solved.

I'm not claiming any conspiracy, just calling out a big discrepancy between how the two refs appear to be addressing the crowd. I enjoy the overall atmosphere, even the EXTENSION!!!!! hyenas, but there needs to be a level of respect given to the shooter down on the shot. I'd be saying the same...

Redwolf, did you ever find any remedy for your situation? I am having the same issue and am suspecting either the ball return rails or the pocket liners. It is a 25 year old table that I purchased last year, so I was having the same thoughts about the breakdown of the plastic/rubberized...

yes, I do not like that. Call me old fashioned, call me clueless, whatever, don't care.

What don't I have a clue about? Please enlighten me.

Yes, that's exactly what I am talking about. The fact that you think the handshake is pointless speaks volumes, so I wouldn't expect you to understand.

Filler is an ass. I don't care if you want to be a cheerleader, but if you can't acknowledge your opponent first before you start pounding your chest and gesturing to the crowd about how great you are, then you can go suck a tailpipe somewhere.

What time does the action start each day?
