I looked at the updated 9 ball list here.... http://results.derbycityclassic.com/LiveMatchesandResults/_asp/MOTReport.asp Billy is listed with the 46ers and his name isn't highlighted so I'm assuming that's where he finished.

I expected him to do better in 9 ball--especially without the Taiwanese players, and Gorst/Kaci and other Euros (Niels, Albin, Ruslan, etc )that didn't make the trip

Wow. That's a cool narrative. The two leaders for MOT drew each other right out of the gate. Was it on the stream?

Anyone know who Billy lost to early on?

Thanks for clearing this up. It will be intriguing to watch.

Right now, after winning the 1 pocket and 3rd in banks, Billy Thorpe is in the lead with 200.3.... Dennis O is close behind with 150 after his win in banks but a not-the-greatest showing in 1 pocket.... Even Lunda with 121 Justin Hall with 120. Am I reading this correctly, that Billy could...

What's your favorite story about Boston Shorty, Jay? He's one of my favorite players of that era--even though I never saw him play, the photos and stories of him in action are great.

:D Learn something new every day. FOTL :grin:

Well done, sir! Always nice to see AZers take on titans. Thanks for the updates.

Thanks for updating here. This is good to know. Also, I would contribute as well...if there was an addition to Griff’s (hint hint :wink:)...that maybe needed some funding to eventually become an actual hall of fame. Wouldn’t that be a hot destination to travel to...shoot some pool and see some...

Seems you got me wrong friend, you also missed the entire point of my post about hall of fames and what it does to preserve history. Ever been to the New England Pool Hall of Fame? It’s really just a side room to Snookers in Providence, Rhode Island, but the fact that it is a concrete place of...

When I stand back and see this, I just see a perfect apology fo pocket billiards as a whole. Here you have an entire link to some of the most valuable pieces of pool lore and history all in one room, so fragile and so vulnerable to being lost to the world. Is the proper curator looking after...

I love how you can verify that, Mr. Helfert....so much history there—if walls could talk.

I understand if you can’t answer...but how did this guy acquire things like hall of fame jackets or infamous cues that even the players family’s might have wanted? I understand deep pockets might be the answer, but a certain level of trust has to be gained that it’s going to a good home before...

You mean you won’t see any pool player reading groups discussing Nietzsche or Solzhenitsyn? :D

When I actually laugh out loud, I just can’t simply type the overused “lol” because it might imply I really didn’t since it is used so many times...but I really did at this line of advice on how to navigate the DCC. :thumbup::D:thumbup::D

While we are on random thoughts...I haven’t ever really complained about it but the brackets/tournament schedule/results/scheduled matches are a mess. I understand with the sheer number of entrants and the buy back option that this is not a typical flow chart tournament, however on the site...

This is unbelievable. Any pool history fanatic can't watch this video without being completely speechless. https://youtu.be/nH_KzGwEEaU The Mosconi 526 Balabushka might be the unicorn of the lot. Let this be the first official call to pool promotion heavyweights everywhere...Mark Griffin...

Wasn’t able to watch any of the final match...did Shaw go beast mode and just runout packages on LVC? Or did LVC play off and give away opportunities?

That is a sweet set-up....also, like you posted before, I can see how the projection ball markers let you just pick and put the balls back out without much hesitation or thought, and let’s you continue on with practice and make proper adjustments with mistakes from previous rack fresh in your...
