    Live PPV Coverage 2023 Derby City Classic #24 Jan 20-28 by Accu-Stats Video Productions

    I didn't see the score when I was watching it live for the last six games, which is annoying as hell. I'm just at a loss to figure out why the score box wouldn't be there automatically from start to finish, either live or on replay. The announcers never gave the score until the end of each...

    Finally got back to the live stream, but the score box isn't there. Why would they ever remove it in the first place?

    On my desktop the Mika - Fortunski stream keeps dying over and over. Refreshing helps sometimes but sometimes not.

    Your favorite Derby after hours match, and?

    I don't know whether either of them ever made it to Derby City, but I'd loved to have seen any high stakes gambling matches involving either the late Cole Dickson or the late Denny Searcy.

    A (hopefully) more analytical approach re: Is pool a sport?

    My wife was once an extremely talented ballet dancer, and I used to love to bait her by asking her how she'd perform if she had maneuver around Shaquille O'Neal during one of her leaps. Are ballet dancers athletes? As for whether pool is a game or a sport, I'm in the Who Cares camp. To me...

    Thanks, that answers my question, and I'll be buying the Early Bird pass.

    Question: I've been paying $12.95 a month to Vimeo for access to Accu-Stats Video on Demand. Does this entitle me to free live streaming of Derby City? If so, how do I access it? If not, that's okay, but I don't want to be paying for something that I've already paid for.

    Jean Balukas HOF interview.......................

    In the mid-late 2000's, Orange Ball Billiards in Rockville, MD had Mike Davis, Brandon Shuff, Keith McCready, Ryan McCreesh, Brian Deska, Manny Chau, and Scott Tollefson showing up for their weekly 9-ball tournament on a fairly regular basis. Tollefson isn't as well known as some of those...

    2023 DCC Big Foot Players List

    Since all of the players you mention would be better choices than some of the ones who were chosen, I'm wondering if this means that some of them are having visa problems. I'm thinking particularly of the three Taiwanese.

    Turning Stone Classic XXXVI

    Of course for us mortals it wasn't an easy shot at all, but I only meant that it was "relatively easy" compared to many of the other shots that Jayson had already made during his comeback. He was on such a roll at that point that most of us were surprised that he missed if, even if for us...

    Turning Stone Classic XXXVI

    Sky's miss reminded me of a miss by Shaw in the hot seat match of the 2016 U. S. Open. He was trailing Chang Jung-Lin by 10 to 4, came back to tie it hill-hill at 10-10.....and then missed this relatively easy 3 ball. Chang then ran out to close the set, and then in the losers' bracket final...

    Turning Stone Classic XXXVI

    And that was Shaw's last gasp. Sky wins it 9-6 and goes on to play Sossei for the hot seat.

    Turning Stone Classic XXXVI

    Nice story about Patsura, but I'm sorry his last win had to be at the expense of Tommy Zippler, a local player I played many times at the former Big Daddy's in Glen Burnie. He got to the hill at 8-7 but Patsura came back to send him into the loser's bracket.

    Joe Rogan / Fedor Gorst

    This set by Kaci wasn't too shabby, either.

    Darren Appleton

    All prayers for a full recovery. I only know Darren through watching him play, reading his BD articles, and hearing a few interviews, but he still seems like family to me.

    Then vs. Now (One More Thread)

    I'm glad you mentioned Buddy, as in his prime I don't think there was anyone better for the cash. Back in the early 70's when Rempe was winning all the tournaments, Buddy played him a 10 game freezeout at Jack 'n' Jill in Shirlington, and when Buddy collected the cash after 12 games, the table...

    Buddy vs LeBron, Willard's Open

    When Buddy destroyed everyone at Weanie Beanie's in the early 70's, he was downright thin with a hollowed out face. I think the heavy duty look really started in the late 70's or early 80's, and by Dayton '82 he was already well on his way to the look he had in this video. Several photos in...

    Have you used carbon fiber and went back to wood?

    After over 50 years of using wood shafts I switched to a Revo 12.9 on a Predator Sneaky Pete, and I'll never use any other shaft again. Much better feel to the hit, and unless it's a hot summer day and the A/C's down, I never have to use a glove. I only wish the carbon shaft had come along...

    Taxi, is this you? Washington Post Article about Pool Nicknames

    Here are some of the other names I gave Kelly that didn't appear in the article. I imagine lots of them will be familiar to many of you. Most of them stayed in one or two rooms in the 14th St. area, but a few were serious road players. At least a few of them (Jackie Robinson, Bus Driver...
