Thanks! Both of these responses were EXACTLY what I was looking for! And Tom, I too LOVE these rules! Anything to take the luck out of the game I'm all for!!

Ok, so if the 10-ball is called during a carom or combo, it's of no consequence if another ball is sunk during the shot so long as it was a legal shot? Kinda of like calling the 5-ball, pocketing it legally and sinking another ball in the same shot. The other sunk ball stays down (with the...

Because making the 10-ball wins the game. So if I have a high percentage of making both balls, one of which would clench me winning the rack, then I will considering going for the win. If I only call the 5-ball and make the 10-ball, the 10-ball is spotted & I do not win b/c I must call the...

Hello Players, I hope that everyone had a great Holiday Season. Its time to start the 2010 Predator Tour Season! Congratulations to Shaun Wilkie for winning the Predator Tour Finale in December! Great shooting buddy! I am proud to announce that Ozone Billiards has come on board as the title...

ok, I've got one for you. Assuming we are using the WPA rules for 10-ball. Let's say I am on the 5-ball and I see I also have a carom opportunity on the 10-ball. Option #1: I call the 5-ball, make it and the 10-ball goes in. I believe the 10-ball gets spotted correct? Option #2: I call...

Thanks M! I hope one of these days I get to meet you in person! :)

Hi everyone, We've have had a number of people ask about the details of Tony Robles' Predator Tour qualifier for the US Open 10-Ball Championship in Vegas this May so I figured I'd post them here. Mark Griffin gifted the tour one invitation for the US Open 10-Ball Championship (just the...

I agree! Thanks for the input everyone! This was very helpful :)

Thank goodness is RIGHT! The thread questions were more of a "what do you think the rule should be for 9-ball/10-ball and 8-ball in general to play at those games at their best." The additional information of if it's a tour, league or tournament was intentionally left out as adding other...

This is great Sean -- thanks! I did not realize this was the way the WPA rules corrected this called safe/pocketing issue! :grin:

Thank you Andrew -- This was very well thought out and I appreciate the clarification. My additional question to you is the same to Jude below. Jude, I appreciate your concern for the timing constraints of the game with call shot/call safe rules. It's something we'll be managing, will...

After a long discussion over dinner with my bestest, I seek the thoughts of the forum for advice/input. Topic: Whether a player should be allowed to call a safety and pocket a ball in 8-ball and/or 9-ball/10-ball. The BCA currently allows a player to call a safety and pocket a ball, thus...

Hi Eric- Open 10-Ball tourney is $100 for Opens and Pros, $75 for As, $60 for Bs & $50 for C/Ds. We have some people that still want to play in the Open event and play with the Pros so we're letting them play at the staggered entry fee rate. The $125 entry fee is only for the Seminole Tribe...

Hi everyone! Hope you all had GREAT New Years! :) This year we'll be running two events simultaneously. Open/Pro event: Open to anyone with the staggered entry fee as before, thus: $100 Open/Pro $75 A/A+ $60 B/B+ $50 C/D $40 Juniors It's a 10-ball tournament though using rules similar...

"The Shot" was Amazing! I've seen it a zillion times and it just never gets old. Tommy Kennedy was adorable in his win, seeing everyone so young playing big time pool (Archer & Hatch), & Wu's reaction was awesome. I wrote an article for PoolSynergy (to be posted this Sun 12/13) that...

Hi Everyone, Don't know if this was posted a long time ago but I so much enjoyed this article from Billiards Digest, I wanted to share it. It's Billiard Digests 30 Great Finals from the last 3 Decades -- Watching the videos (which are AWESOME) and reading the breakdown & I am in pool player...

Great interview Jim. Liz is a great asset to the game of pool and her dedication to improvement is something to be admired. She's also quite funny off the table. Love her blog! http://sticksandballsandholes.blogspot.com/ Thanks again Jim for an enjoyable lunch hour of interview viewing! :grin:
