What you say about non-profits is all well and good - but keep in mind that no "players" have banded together to form anything. The ACS was formed well in advance of any BCA player knowing anything about a sale. Rather than being able to hear both sales pitches from both of the "new"...

Here's the thing - If the ACS wants to start a league and claim that it is the "true" BCA - fine, go do it. What doesn't sit well with me is the whole approach that in doing so - it is okay to tear apart anything else to get the desired results. The way they are going about trying to accomplish...

The other posters are being way too kind wasting their time - if you aren't even moral enough to know that stealing is wrong - you should really give them some sort of reassurance that you aren't just wasting their efforts.

Please...for all of our sakes - keep the bag on. Anyone who advocates for theives - and that is what employees who steal from a company are called - ought to be forced to spend quality time with the former president of Enron. We could use someone helping him out with his license plates and who...

IMO it is about time for the promoters to more professionally promote their events. Accu-Stats has played an enormous role in the promotion of the Derby City Classic and The US Open - both are great events that more than twice as many people know about thanks to A-S. The average enthusiast is...

Oh yeah - and by the way, he charges $40/hr. The least expensive non-hacker I've ever heard of.

When I first started playing - I got the bug like no one's business. All I wanted to do was play pool all day every day and beat as many players that I knew to be better than me as I could. Not long after I "got the bug" one of the top players in our area (which I didn't know that at the time)...

Do you know who's gonna be there? I heard Eberle and the Canadians were there practicing last night - I called and found out there is supposed to be some action tonight? Does anyone have the skinny?

There is a really cool new handicapping system in OR called the National Billiard Society - it's for 8-ball and it is very interesting. I don't know about their phone # - I think the website is nationalbilliardsociety.org - get a copy of On The Wire or call them - the NBS has an operator listing...

Steve Lingelbach of the Oregon Billiard Academy out here on the West Coast has a really good reputation - I have heard even the best players have a great deal of respect for his teaching ability - as well as some even taking lessons from him to add to their own game. ...

Chohan was waxed by Stan Tourangeau this morning - not Billy Palmer Finals -13-7 - Also noteworthy - Tourangeau said he came up dry on 4 breaks - After the 9-1 whomping in the morning - is that a little too coincidental? Chohan is too much of a child to do anything at the Open - those guys...

Yep - Labor Day Weekend!

That's what I am talking about - get that ticker going!!! Amen! It's the players who bet their own that make the game worth sweating!! (Esspecially if they worked to earn it!)

And why is it that some people feel compelled to belittle successful people? Seems to be the norm with pool players? Any opinions? Do pool players want to believe that someone just got luckier in life than they did? Other people just "beat" them to the "big" score? IMO - Life is what you make it...

I would hardly refer to that as a "win" in the same sense of the word you are trying to play on. Not only has Harry acheived a level of play, as well as the smarts to know how to match up most the time, he happens to have worked his ass off in a field that is extremely cut throat. Think it isn't...

Do you know who's going to be there? Any action on Friday night? I heard Fast Eddy's has the most action per capita on the West Coast??!! I heard Paul Potier was making some of the last stops to secure his lead - who know what's going on?

I remember reading somewhere how Efrin loves (or used to love) watching amateur players because they often do unexpected things. Not that they know what they're doing or how they're doing it - but he likes recreating those shots and adds many different things into his pool playing arsenal. True...

I don't know what the UPA or any of the top players are thinking. The sad reality is - they have a little to no market for their pool playing abilities and continue to do the same thing year after year. Playing pool as a living for a male pro has gotten worse - and I believe continues to -...

no relation to Buddy Hall. He is buddies with Varner - Varner tortures him every time they play. Solid, yes, pro-caliber - definitely debatable. That is an age old question - should players be allowed to play on the pro tour just because they throw their $$$ in?

You would be better served by a CPA answering your question - so if there is one on the forum, it would be very nice to hear from them. It is my understanding that a profit or non-profit status for a business are in many ways a tax classification. It is naive to believe that an organization is...
