I like Pat very much and think he does a ton good for pool. I am not sure I understand his original statement, which seems to imply that players have to come to him to get their royalties. I have been in at least a couple Accu-Stats videos, and have never been paid a royalty. I also know two...

Go Danny! Thanks for the updates Stu!

Thanks for the info, Stu. I wonder if the tables were beaten up from the trick/artistic pool. I have no idea what shots are used for those competitions but I'm guessing it's not soft topspin. :)

List updated!

Hi Stu! Wondering if you, or anyone, knows why participation was so poor this year? Was it just the lower overall participation at the BCAPL in this, its first year in July, or was there something particular about this event that changed? I saw the numbers that Max posted and it seemed if you...

Hi Mike. Thanks for the info on Butch - it was definitely not intentional that he was left off... I'll try to update the list as soon as I have a chance. It's been a busy year :). Hope you're doing great! - Steve

It's all good, Palmerfan! Eric, Tobias is an insanely talented and super smart, well-mannered kid. It was great getting to meet and play with him. - Steve

Hey Palmer, No hard feelings at all but here's where I got it: http://http://forums.azbilliards.com/showthread.php?p=4164481&highlight=Lipsky#post4164481 The title of that post is in bold and says "Not my list Jay... scold the author." :) - Steve

Thank you Eric... you just truly made my day. Those German straight pool champions are not just great players but they are, to a one, spectacular people.

Ha, those were good times indeed Jenny. Love the jeans. Wow. Jay, on a nice night in 2009 I think, I finally broke 200. Ran a 207, and believe me I felt awkward about including myself on the list - even mentioned in one of the posts that I was well aware of the absurdity of labeling myself a...

I'm not on the forum much at all anymore but I just noticed a thread on Danny Harriman's big run where Palmerfan used some high run list that he credited to me, and Jay saw some missing names, and then Palmerfan said to blame the author. :) Just want to clear my name - the only list I remember...

Danny, a big congratulations coming your way from NJ. Truly a phenomenal feat... I'm excited to hear the details when I see you next. Way to go! - Steve

Hey Andy. Thanks for doing this. I ran a 168 today, though it was on very soft equipment. Still, this is only my second time playing in 2013 so I'll take it :). - Steve PS congrats on the 100 Andy!

I had heard rumors that the 2013 BCAPL would hold the first US Open 14.1 in a long, long while. At this point, the rumor appears to be untrue; according to the mass email I just received, they've decided to add an 8-ball tournament to the pro lineup. Nothing about 14.1. Guess we'll have to...

Congrats Gerard, way to go!

About the case of wine thing, I don't want to unfairly paint the guy with that story. He wasn't looking to push it on an underage kid. I was "one of the guys" in the poolroom, and I'm sure he asked everyone. I just thought it was bizarre because at least in those days and in that region, wine...

Eric, he was on Long Island quite a bit when I was cutting my bones out there. He is, as you say, a total piece of work. I could never quite tell if he took himself seriously, but I think my final and best guess at that is that he did. He was always good for a laugh. I'd say he was probably...

It would also be interesting, given a look at the data, to see if lefties have an advantage when forced to break. Since we leave our opponents on the opposite side of the table they are used to, there is at least a possibility that the shots we leave look awkward to our opponents. I've always...

I think this is a great thread. It brings to mind that this is one time I wish pool were more mainstream. If it were like baseball, we'd know exact percentages on different tables, across skill levels, in different humidity, and on Tuesdays :). I think we can go a lot further with the...

Kaz, The seeds for the single-elimination are based on the performances during the round robin phase of the tournament. Mike probably gave up less than 100 points in his three matches combined, which is how he got the top seed. - Steve
