Hope this makes it up to the WA area. Tried it last night and playing American Rotation on an eight foot bar box brings a lot more clusters and is pretty strategic to say the least. I think this is a great opportunity for good things to happen in the pool world and hopefully it takes off. I...

I spend summers back near Pittsburgh and visit most of the pool halls while i'm back but not much of a gambler but I like watching the match ups. Not sure about tournaments, Breakers in Pittsburgh usually has some action going on, and if there is nothing going on there, Steel City Billiards...

Didn't know if Mark was going to mention for the first time ever, the Western BCA is having an Open Ten Ball event during the Lincoln City Oregon event (October 16-17). $4k added to the mens and $3k added to the womens event. Limited field of 32 men and 24 women so if anyone is interested...

Just adding my 2 cents because a lot of people don't know about Lincoln City because this is the first time opening this tourney up to anyone. First off, let me say, I don't have anything to do with the tourney or the Western BCA, but I know what its like to see a tourney and wonder what the...

http://www.onthebreaknews.com/stroke Above is a link for the Stroke monthly newspaper. It is the only publication of tournaments on the east coast that I know of and a lot of tournaments don't put adds in it so its not that great of a resource. I go to the east coast (Western PA) every...

Yes, I received the CSI email on April 25th notifying me of the discount.

I'm disappointed in myself for not realizing May 18th is Armed Forces Day. To thank our military service members for their patriotic service in support of our great country they may enter as a team for $45 vice $135. This also applies to spouses. All team members must show active, retired...

Three Person Team tournament at the Anacortes Elks in Washington May 18th and 19th. Flyer is attached and there are different ways that a team can enter. Play the Game Clothing Company is contributing to the prize pool the profits if an entire team buys Polo Shirts for this tournament...

How about something like this? Let's bring back the "SNAP SNAP" "TAP TAP""CLAP CLAP" and just PLAY THE GAME.

I feel that every area is different depending on the competitive attitude of the players in that area. In my area, players have been getting beat down in weekly bar tournaments by the same 4 or 5 players for 20 plus years. Then when larger tournaments that have entry fees over $5, the average...

I'm just saying that the A and B players are the ones that pay for the tournament to even happen, so give them more time on the stream. So far, around 90% of the stream has been masters or Grandmasters playing and it will continue to be that way until the end of the week. This isn't s Derby...

I would agree with you if this was a ppv event, but its not. In all actuality, the members paid for the stream to happen so why concentrate on a specific group. Also they probably would get more viewers if they did show A and B players because friends, family, and league players that didn't...

Don. No disrespect to the Grandmasters, but come on WBCA, show the players that make this tournament happen. The A and B level player's? I mean, there's over 600 A and B players there now, and you all are concentrating on the Grandmaster's. With the current schedule. the only way an A or...

Didnt RKC just replace those two tables with the new Diamond tops with the new rails that Diamond has corrected? Also, think Shanes table has the tightest pockets in Pittsburgh...

My suggestion to you is to pick a pool hall that you want to go to first. Lets say Hardtimes in Bellflower. Then figure out when you want to be their, IE. for the first weekend of the month for their one pocket and nine ball tournaments. And then start working your trip schedule from there...

Happy Birthday America!!! I would also like to give a big "THANK YOU" to everyone that has served and is currently serving! I am grateful to be living in the BEST country in the world and I can sleep in peace at night because I know who has the WATCH!!! Again, THANK YOU... Please excuse me...

Yes, a single game to 50 would more than likely take less than an hour, and that is another reason I suggested playing three games of 8 ball, three games of one pocket, and three games of straight pool to 50 each day in my OP. In my opinion, the benefit from having a short race to 50 in this...

Think this is a great idea. I would like to make a suggestion on the format. How about each day they play three games of each with each game being worth one point and then each game has the opportunity for a bonus point. In one pocket, if you win 8-0 then you get two points. In 8 ball, if you...

I will 3rd the Golden Fleece, Also, onthewbreaknews.com list weekly tournaments and I know there used to be a few bars in Everett that list their tournaments in that paper. Also, there is a listing of a team event for the 23rd and 24th that is being held out of Soundview Bar which is located...

Well, in the area I have lived in for the past 22 years, there is only 5 or 6 people that play for money. When I say play for money, I mean like $5-$20. For the last 20 years we have played our usual ring game and it started out $1 on the 5 and 2 on the 9. In the last two years, inflation...
