Nick (the guy that won) is a very nice guy and I'm really proud of him for winning this monster tournament! I have played him quite a few times and have hosted $250 entry round robins at my home in the last year. Nick has beaten me the last 5-6 times we played even though our fargos are not...

I was so lucky to have my best tournament at Griff's, thanks to Mark who hosted it and made sure it went smoothly. It will be a memory I will always cherish! I was so pleasantly shocked to see this in his obituary: "Shortly before his death, Mark funded a trust for the preservation of Griff’s...

Like you and so many others, I thought the answer Vos Savant proposed was wrong and counterintuitive....but then I looked at her explanation and it is obvious. People holding doctorates in Statistics were also irate and dismissive of Vos Savant's answer at the time, and wrote scathing letters...

I'm in a "chat" with DAZN to find out what is happening, but since I'm #27 in line, the event will likely be over!

Me, too. It shows "live" on DAZN, but it's just a blank screen with "DAZN"

Does anyone know the origin of the ball-off-the-table foul? When was it first instituted? Did it stay down and was it ball-in-hand originally? I'm talking about any object ball (not the cue-ball), and I'm most interested in rotation games, although that rule may have been established before 9...

Tevez beats Appleton in a dominating 10-4 win to make the final 4.

This Christopher Tevez from Peru is no joke. I had never even heard of him and he is taking down champion after champion.

OK, I can finally say my poolroom is finished! In 2017 we built an addition onto the house and for the last 5 years I had my 9' Olhausen in the middle. I decided I needed a Diamond Pro-Am 7' this year and I was able to rearrange, redo my lighting, and fit both tables! Each table has at least 5...

Beautiful pool room and property! You've created an oasis retreat that will bring lots of joy!

Point taken, but the US Open is about $1000 entry also, but you need to be in the top 4 to make over $10k. Being willing to put up $1k entry is a lot different from being willing to put up $100 entry, so obviously the risk is greater and the reward is higher.

Ruben Adame. He's the one who knocked me out. He played great! He got 5th last year (Susan Williams knocked him out).

I did wait over a year before posting this, so my arm is OK.

Last year I won $12,000 in a pool tournament in Vegas--and I didn't win the tournament--I got 2nd. It was a 580 and under, $1000 entry, single elimination, 32 player field. I tried again this year and just barely got my entry fee back as I finished tied for 5th. I didn't post here before...

1. US Open 2019 .. .. .. 836. Black-Balled invitational 2007

I played at the last US Open in Vegas. I'm a 569, so I think I was among the bottom 10 in the field. The whole event was my favorite pool experience! From the player's meeting, to the green room, to being surrounded by spectators and idols, and playing a world champion, this was a bucket list...

Looks good. I think it was overdue for a facelift and modernization. I haven't been very active here lately, but I think I will change that now as I step back from Facebook a little.

I vaguely remember our Gold Crown in the early 70s when we lived in Kent, Ohio. I was only about 6-7, so I couldn't really reach the table or do much at that age. My grandparents lived in Flora, Illinois, and we'd go there almost every year. A highlight of those trips, as I got a little...

Congratulations! I can tell from the video that you had a great rapport with your students and there was a real excitement in your lab. Hopefully I'll retire in a few years. I have 24 years now of federal service. Love my job, but it does keep me from competing or traveling to pool events...

I agree that the field of the US Open has a lot of dead money, but look at the size of the field! That doesn't take away the fact that it also has all the top players in the world, with very few exceptions. Like 2019, the 2020 field has nearly all the top 16 WPA players registered (except Wu...
