    Would this be considered sandbagging?

    It depends on the circumstances. If them going up in skill level means that you'd have to dismantle the team or forfeit a match because of the 23 rule, I definitely wouldn't want them to go up prior to LTC.

    APA rates going up?

    What are your current rates and what are they going to? I doubt mine are going up in the next year because we just had our yearly meeting to start the new year (APA year) and it wasn't mentioned. We're 3 weeks in now and we are paying the same as we were paying before.

    World cup of pool table 4.25

    ESPN3 is simply broadcasting Sky Sports' coverage of the match.

    World Cup of Pool set for LIVE US airing on ESPN

    Are females not allowed to play in the World Cup of Pool? I would have liked to see an Ouschan/Ouschan team represent Austria.

    World Cup of Pool set for LIVE US airing on ESPN

    I was watching it on my laptop via ESPN3, but then I found it on Sky Sports 3 so I'm watching it on television now. I have a streaming box which allows me to pick up channels from all over the world.

    Would this be considered sandbagging?

    I wouldn't consider it sandbagging. Personally, I feel that a lot of people like to use 'sandbagging' as an excuse for losing. I have this guy on my team that is always making excuses to why he's not playing to his potential. I try my best not to entertain his excuses. I finally had to tell...

    SVB vs Mike D.

    I'm going to keep my opinion of who I would think would win a race to 100 out of it, but I did want to make a point. Long races to 100 or more are often not played in the same day. For example, The Color of Money between Reyes and Strickland was played over the course of a couple of days...

    Mosconi Cup vs Ryder Cup

    I can understand why Earl wouldn't be allowed to compete. He can go from being my favorite player to watch to my least favorite player to watch all in the same rack because of his poor sportsmanship. I don't understand why anyone else would be excluded from being on the team however. Maybe...

    Turning Stone XXII- the prediction thread

    All of my horses are out of the race, but between the two that are left I'm rooting for Mika.

    Turning Stone XXII- the prediction thread

    I thought there was something strange about the Jayson Shaw vs. SVB match. I previously watched the Strickland vs. Archer match and swore that I saw the loser rack. Then when I watched the Shaw vs. VB match, they were definitely racking for themselves. At the time I thought that I may have...

    Was Mike sharking Shane when it was heal/heal?

    I didn't see the match, but the scenario that you described is the reason that I am an advocate of shot clocks. By the way, I thought the term was hill/hill but I could be wrong.

    Jason Shaw and SVB

    who plays at 10 on the stream?

    The announcers on UStream said that they won't know who will be featured until the closer to 10pm.

    Turning Stone XXII- the prediction thread

    Earl and Johnny are about to play. Any predictions? I think Earl can pull it off if he stays focused on shooting.

    Shocking 1st round results at Turning Stone

    I respect your opinion, but just about every other sport has seeded tournaments. And in the case of top pool players playing in a double elimination tournament, I'm not even sure that it would matter either way (if it were a 1 and out tournament, it may make a difference). Even if 2...

    Shocking 1st round results at Turning Stone

    I was surprised that Emily Duddy made it to the hill in her first match. At least Jennifer Barretta and Borana Andoni are still in it. I'd like to see either/both of them do well.

    Chalk Experiment Results, with Video

    I'm 99.99999% positive that the words he used were, "A possible advantage of the other chalks is that they might help keep the tip slightly scuffed..." Which is not the same as claiming that chalking wears down the tip. I have no issue with the statements that he made in the video. And like...

    The Worst Rule in Pool

    I'm not an advocate for allowing slop shots to count, but I'd be willing to bet that there is a very low percentage where a slop shot has changed the outcome of a match.

    World Cup of Pool Predictions

    I believe SVB asked Earl to be his partner. They both respect each other's game so I think that they will make a great team. Furthermore, both will be coming fresh off of the Turning Stone Classic 9-Ball Open. Finally, SVB almost always plays with his hearing aids turned off so I doubt if...
