I personally helped coordinate an IPT qualifier at the THE POOL ROOM in Marietta GA and I can attest to the validity of the competition. As far as player's on the tour throwing games away and losing on purpose, I highly doubt that. I think you really have to understand all the little details...

Larry Guninger (sp?) resides near ATL, GA. Plays actively on the UPA. Is a knowledgeable but opinionated person. Most people here are not sure if he's telling the truth or dictating gospel. Due to his controversial posts, he has been banned from this site. He does perform some amazing trick...

They played 8-ball at Bankshots during the tournament and Corey seemed to be coming out ahead. I think during the second set, Corey put a 6 or 7 pack on Dennis.

Well, the first day here in Marietta went smoothly. Around 30 players entered the tournament and at the end of the day a new winner was crowned. Here are the payouts and rankings: 1st - Jason Klatt $430 2nd - Paul Song $280 3rd - Sammy Williams $190 4th - Mike Maxie $100 5th/6th - Sam Tushn $50...

I'm sorry that you guys didn't get to make it up here but there will be many more opportunities in the near future. When you guys (Kevin, paul, han, amy, po...etc.) wanna come up here, you have my number! Hope to see you in the future! Best Wishes Angelo

Those are quite a few good reasons. I still think there HAS to be a way for the the industry to pick up business in the summer though. From what I've observed, the big pool crowd is at night when golf and other outdoor activities are already out of the way. Someone else here pointed out that a...

Its that time again and I know the slow season will be here soon. What I don't understand is why the pool scene dies in the summer?? I've heard several reasons but mostly: good weather and people would rather go outside and do other things. -I know that many pool players out there are the...

Thanks Louis! Its always a pleasure to have you in my tournaments! You are definitely a star player with a star attitude! That was a heck of a 5 pack you ran in the finals! You made it very exciting to watch! I hope we can be awaiting your appearances in upcoming events and I will definitely...

I like your points Scott. The tournament is over and all in all, only two players walked out slightly disappointed. Everyone else was pretty happy with how everything ran. We had some players who were having a good day and some players that were not having as much luck with their games. It will...

Good Point! Here's where I run into some problems. The ideal handicap system is suppose to place two players in a situation where either one of them can win, given that they play their BEST at their level. It would be designed on a case by case situation so that fairness can be established. I...

Thanks John. I always appreciate your support.

Yea, I know exactly what you mean. The handicap tournament at Mr. CUES II run by Dave Biggers is a very good tournament but you just never know how long it would last. If you get Stevie, Brian Butler, Doug Young and Paul Song in the same tournament and they weren't losing, it could take a lot...

Cuetechasaurus - I understand what you are saying, however, just about every handicap tournament I've seen is game spotted. There is a major problem with this idea: time needed to complete a full tournament. With game races, a tournament full of C and B players may only take 3-5 hours with 20 or...

6 and the Last 3 is slightly less because there is only 1 money ball off the break. There's also less chance for combos compared to the 6 & the 8 where there is 2 money balls. 6 and the Last 3 also forces the opponent to run out more often than the 6 + 8 would.

Thanks! I just noticed it right after you mentioned it!

Here's the new handicap system that we'll be implementing for the tournament...

Good looking out Panther!

After much deliberation, here's the new handicap system we're going to implement for the final tournament. Its just a small tweek from the old one so for those of you who weren't too pleased with the one used this past wednesday, here you go!
