Sorry...I'm not really in the loop with the men's side. I do know that men were invited (but I don't know who)...that they declined their spots (but I don't know why)....and so there will not be any American men playing in the World Games. I wish I knew more...but I don't.

OK...I just got off the phone with a BCA rep....and the WPBA definitely has 2 representatives in the World Games!

I'm not sure where you got this information, but the WPBA were asked last year for the top 2 American ranked players as of a certain date....and we gave them those names. Those players have the information...and my most recent knowledge is that they are planning on attending. Of course, I am...

The Golf Channel is stuck on my TV...and so I just watching a Hole-in-One special like 2 days ago. For a pro golfer, their chances of making a hole in one are about 3500-1 and for an amateur, the chances are 12000-1. This is based on a 150-yard par 3. (And there have only been 4...

Some of you should re-read the press release. The WPBA did not change their minds, an independant Appeals Committee reviewed the facts and upheld the WPBA's original decision...they simply amended the penalty. And no, I will not argue the merits of the original decision. The entire discussion...

This is a rumor that has been spread for years...and is nowhere close to true. The WPBA pays production costs for every show...but we do not pay ESPN anything to air the shows. Never have...never will. Melissa

I think I'll be throwing my hat into the ring this year, too. As long as I don't get sick like I did last year :( I'm ready to beat up on some guys. That is always a good tournament!

Out of curiosity, when you say that the production value of the Generationpool.com event was better than the others...could you please elaborate? Are you referring to the tv production...or the arena set-up?

She did appeal prior to the Hard Rock event and she could have participated in that event since the penalties are put on hold until the appeal is settled. Both Jasmin and her manager were aware of this, but withdrew from the event anyhow.

Sorry for the big font, but I want to wish Monica the Biggest Congratulations possible!!!!!!! You know I have been rooting for you to win an event for the longest time, and I am so proud of you for being the 1st American in 14 long years to win a Nat'l Champion title! We all knew you had it...

Hi Scott, That is a good idea, and I will pass it on to the production committee. Of course I can't promise anything, but I would definitely think that we'd take your voices into consideration. Stay tuned. The draw will be completed Wednesday evening, and we will be posting the schedule at...

8 racks completed by the 45-minute mark is the usual criteria. However, the tournament director may put a clock on any match at any time if he thinks it is necessary. I am glad someone mentioned this. I think having a shot clock for these streamed matches is a good idea...and I will suggest...

Here is a quote from our Bylaws: The right to vote for candidates for the board of directors and on all other matters subject to organization vote is extended to all Exempt, Non-Exempt players in good standing. A ballot with all nominated candidates listed in alphabetical order will be included...

Yes they did.

Dawn Hopkins and Belinda Calhoun both ran again...as write-in candidates since their names were not on the ballot. The membership heard from all candidates, through letters or in person, and they chose to re-elect Dawn and Belinda. The votes, as they are each year, were counted by 2...

That's her all right...with Debbie Schjodt, also a WPBA player. They are standing on a stairwell leading to the player's lounge at the Viejas Casino in San Diego. Debbie is 6'4"....which is why Anna looks so small in the photo. Melissa

Smorgass Bored pjadded Fatboy jhendri2 Roy Steffenson I would have included DeadPoked....but I just met him at the Carolina Classic! The sweetheart bought me a drink :) Unfortunately we didn't get to spend a lot of time catching up....I was busy whooping on minor league baseball players on...

Hi all - Just wanted to clarify 1 thing. The WPBA does not now, nor has it ever, paid ESPN to put our shows on the air. We do pay production costs to a production company, but we do not pay a penny to ESPN. That story has been around so long it's almost an urban pool legend, but it is...

If the WPBA ran a competing 14.1 event, then I would probably agree with you. But there is no 14.1 Championship for women, and this 14.1 World Championship wasn't billed as a men only event....so what's the problem? Yeah, some of the men may have had a problem with it....but that's when they...

Are you wishing him good luck in getting elected...or for if he gets elected? LOL I also support Mike whole-heartedly. He gets my vote. Melissa
