OH, nonono.. I'm not saying anything bad about Souquet.. People have just brought up that story about Earl not shaking Ralf's hand for years now. They use it as ammunition. No, I hate it when Earl acts like that. I think he's snapped. He acted the same way when he played Tony Crosby at...

Congratulations, Shane. Keep it going. :) -Mark

I have that match on tape. Ralf had a really tough shot on the 9 and he hung it up, and after a second or so, it fell. Earl *did* shake Ralf's hand. Later on, Ralf said something like 'good match, Earl', and that's when Earl shook his head. It was a 50,000 dollar winner-take-all match.. I'd...

Yeah, they said it was going to be Keith and Vilmos.... ~snore~ Earl and Luc would be *much* more entertaining... I bet what happened is Earl had a problem with the TV table... who knows.. Still, Earl and Luc is a match I've been waiting to see for a long time.. Race to 11 in under 30...

I understand your point and I agree. But, you also never see a pro athlete (Shaquille O'Neal) calling travelling on himself because the referee didn't see it. An offensive lineman doesn't grab a referee's flag and throw it and admit that he held someone, because the referee didn't see it. A...

Well.. Allow me to give you an example of your 'classy' gentleman Ralf Souquet.. I was watching a match between Ralf and another player this past May at the BCA. Ralf was up a few games, and he took a break. Whilst Ralf was out doing whatever it is he does on his break, his opponent stayed at...

So.. umm.. Jim Wych.. Where did this guy come from? His name is DiLiberto... Geez.. Well, they're getting ready to 'break-off' those 'colors' so someone can 'deposit' the nine.. Good lord.. :)

We're back! :)

Shane won the lag. Shane broke the balls, nothing fell. Keith played a safety, putting the cueball eight inches away from two interfering balls with the one ball up table near the right side cushion. Shane pondered for a moment, walked back to his chair presumably to grab the short stick. Black...

Yep. It's gone. I have no words at this time. :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

Right on. I saw shane play in Vegas this past May. A friend of mine was playing his first round match in the Master's division, and Shane was playing on the adjacent table. Their matches started at the same time, and by the time my friend's match was 2-1, Shane had won his match 7-0. We all...

I got the stream at 9:15. Dissapointed to see Mr. Personality Jim Wych.. but.. what can you do.. As for the stream.. All I can say is, "Here we go again".. It's like watching a slideshow of pool pictures whilst listening to someone really boring over a bad cellphone connection.. But, then...

What's more funny, is that during the BCA Open in Vegas this past May, I noticed (during the first couple of rounds) that the players weren't even using the Sardo rack. They'd reach down, pick up the rack from the floor, set it upon the table, and proceed to rack the balls with their hands...

The way I see it, is if you hit the lowest numbered ball on the table, and something contacts a rail, you've made a legal hit. That's the rule, right? But, remember, there is no advantage to using the 'soft' break unless the 9-ball is on the spot. Corey demonstrated that to us in 2001 when he...

US Open Breaking Rules Here's the official word: Sardo Rack. One-ball on the spot. Two-ball in the back. Break from the 'box'. No 'soft' breaks. -Mark
