No, just stated BCA 9 ball rules, and call the 9.

Using that as the logic, since I can’t find any rule that states otherwise. You must hit the lowest number ball and pocket a ball to continue to shoot. If you shot the 9 and the opponent states you didn’t call the pocket, it was still a legal hit and a ball was pocketed. It comes up and is...

It’s a national qualifier event, I have no say in the rules they do or do not follow, or use.

I don’t make the tournament rules, just trying to understand the logic and rules to be better prepared for the next tournament in case this comes up again.

Nope, the 9 wasn’t legally pocket, it gets spotted.

But if you shot the 6 and accidentally make the 9, it gets spotted and it’s still your turn.

Junior event, no need for that as they are all learning. Just trying to understand if it’s player A or player B’s shot on the spotted 9. Based on the scenario 1, I would assume it’s still player A’s shot, since it was a legally pocketed ball.

I agree, it’s petty and obvious, and the same gesture that was used by both players were used to call the pocket, but player A didn’t want to argue. So 9 ball gets spotted but who’s shot is it?

Tournament that was using bca rules for 9 ball or a version of them. Must call the 9 ball. Two scenarios: #1 Player shoots object ball, doesn’t make it but the 9 ball drops in a pocket. Hit was legal, early 9 not called. 9 ball gets spotted and the same player continues to shoot since he...

Ouch, that hurt! Lol.

I’m not disagreeing with you, just saying there is more to evaluating ones skill level then just wins and loses.

KPI’s are not opinion they are performance. Break and run, run outs, 9 on break, 8 on break, innings, items like that tell the story of the match not just wins and loses.

Key performance indicators

I agree but most are not playing outside of their league and then returning. In my example earlier, that area 9’ tables didn’t exist. There was only one Diamond in the area and it was a smaller one that was not used for league play. I think it’s the best system we have but it’s still very...

The majority of Fargo ranked players are now just league players. It used to be more select groups and tournament players, but now with BCA and other leagues reporting in, the majority of these players never play outside of their league. Then there are equipment differences. I played up north...

I still think Fargo is still biased depending on your area. A 600 in one area is not a 600 in another. Similar to Apa, there are 7’s that are not actual 7’s, and 4’s that are not actual 4’s.

Nice shooting, but you missed an important part of a B&R.

I see a lot of pool/billiards activity on social media. But then again I follow and look for it. I randomly watch low level bar streams when they pop up in my news feed. I may not watch the whole thing, but I watch and see the level of play. My kids love watching pool on the big tv’s, even...

I looked at both recently and decided on the Diamond.

Yes, we have an awesome place that’s open 24 hours with a nice selection of 8 and 9’ tables but they allow smoking and it’s really thick. I play league there one night a week and hate it as I wear contacts and it really impacts my vision. The smell doesn’t help either but the smoke does have...
