Code of conduct is not new. It's been the same since I started playing in 2000. I can't vouch for before that....but I would bet that it's been the same for longer than that. Sunny, I know you were referring to someone else calling it new....but I couldn't find that post. So I am just...

None of the top 10 ranked players have run for the Board of Directors in years. And I don't know who you think the queen bee is, but there are 7 on the Board of Directors, and we make decisions as a group of 7. And decisions affecting rules, formats, rankings....these are all voted on by...

But look at men's tennis. Roger Federer has dominated over the past 5-6 years....and he just lost his #1 ranking because he hasn't been performing well this year. Now before you start arguing that Allison has won 2 events this year....it is something that everyone is well aware of. But...

Payouts are the same as 2007. The US Open paid $15K to the winner.

Thanks again to all my wonderful AZB friends and family! And special thanks to anyone who plays along with my proclamation of 22-ness :)

Thanks guys! I appreciate it! Today, I turn 22 yrs old!!! (OK...maybe I'm slightly older than that....but one can wish, can't they?) ;)

This is my favorite! Very creative!!!!! :D

There are actual physiological benefits to deep breathing that can help your mental game immensely. Most people hold their breath during times of stress....or their breathing gets real shallow. This triggers the "fight or flight" response in the body....and adrenaline gets released. Blood...

Hear that world? I'm one of his personal favorites! Don't be jealous!! :D (And he happens to be one of mine as well. A class act all the way!)

Stu - it was great to see you again! You are looking fitter than a fiddle...and just to see your good-natured smile during my matches was very comforting. I'm sorry we didn't get to chat more! Hope you make it to another event soon! Melissa

With all due respect... First, Sarah R did not witness the incident in question...meaning the elbow bump. (This is a prime example of how facts get mixed up in these posts) Second, the post I made was from ME, as a person/player, not as an official position from the WPBA. The reason I did...

No offense to anyone here at AZB, but this is a matter between 2 players and the WPBA Board and staff. There is not a single person who has posted in this thread that was an eyewitness to what occurred...so being presumptive based on personal opinion is not fair. If/when it is determined that...

The WPBA uses Brunswick tables...and fortunately for us, Brunswick gave us the new GC V's to use in 2008. These tables are wonderful! Of course, the GC IV's were terrific as well....but I love that the V's have the longer rails...so no shims are needed. So no dead spots near the...

There are 2 schools of thought on this. There are those who feel the pros should be prohibited from playing the regional tour circuit...that the circuit is for up-and-coming to hone their skills and sharpen their teeth and try to qualify for the WPBA. But some feel that the pros should be...

Most qualifiers do exclude the top WPBA players...but that decision is left up to the regional tour running the event. Some allow the pros to play...which gives the up-and-coming girls experience against playing the pros before they actually get to that level. Some exclude the pros because...

Scott is quite correct. The APA is a valued sponsor and supporter of the WPBA...but is no way affiliated with the running of the WPBA Tour. Melissa

I spent the majority of about 13 years in a pool room...gambling and paving the way to becoming a professional. And one day I woke up and realized how much I had sacrificed. I hadn't done any of the things that other people in my age group had. If I met new people outside the pool...

When and where? I can always use more bling ;) (But let's keep this private...I'm not interested in some big internet hoopla where everyone gets involved and then I have to play you on streaming internet so that all the railbirds ca watch me become your latest victim :D . I just couldn't...

All State Championships are qualifiers for the US Open. So she has a paid spot into the 2008 US Open in Oklahoma in August.

I never went completely into retirement really. I was definitely considering it...and there was a long stretch of time where I played absolutely no pool whatsoever. As a matter of fact...playing Jay's 10-ball tournament 2 weekends ago and the state championship this past weekend...that was...
