Looking for another good turnout this year. Over 10K paid out last year in the calcutta.

When are they going to ban all those darn bridges people use to reach the long shots? Those things make the shots way easier than they should be. I also don't want to see anyone putting an extension on the butt of their cue to reach those shots either. And don't even get me started on the...

I don't understand what the problem with a jump cue is. It is a tool of the game. Much the same way a bridge is, or that nifty little glove some players use. If you are a traditionalist do you also balk at the new developments with cue technology or different tips used on cues? What about...

I agree that alternative beverages/snacks need to be served in pool halls/bars. I normally drink water when playing. I drink alcohol every once in a while but I feel that for me it is a risk. My game isn't to the level I want so I don't want a chance of taking anything away from it. So to...

In tournament play I had an object ball lined straight up with the corner. Eight ball about at the second diamond from the bottom rail and about 1/4 inch off the side rail. I over drew the cue ball leaving myself corner hooked unable to see the 8. I 3 rail kick-banked the 8 and went on to win...

watched the video, went to the website and they aren't available yet. Would like to see the price to see if these shirts might replace my t-shirts.

Assuming that this isn't fraud can you imagine how easy it is for him to see through clothes? That might be scary in some pool halls.

Sandbaggers in general irritate me. I was a team captain in TAP and while watching obvious shanking of shots by both my player and the captain of the other team I reported both to our league operator. I know a lot of APA players that don't consider it cheating to "manipulate" their handicaps...

It normally doesn't take much work so it in turn shouldn't cost much. Maybe 20-50?? Depends on who you use I would imagine. It could also be dirt or chalk build up on the facing.

You didn't mention in your initial question that it was already a handicapped tournament. I believe that the stronger player will normally win in the loser/alternate break situation. The place I like to see it is when you have a tournament where a few pro players come to crash the party...

I have played multiple league formats over the years. Honestly the one I like most is the BCA/ACS. Playing for points instead of wins generally eliminates the desire of competitors to sandbag. I can play any organized tournament I want to, I simply need to pay the entry fee. Cash payouts...

Check the U.S. Tournaments under the forums tab. It is there

Interesting........ BTW, no one has mentioned the dreaded "Stink Eye"

I also am one of those folks that likes to mix both in. I like to drill for 30-45 minutes then shoot a rack or 2 of 9 ball to stretch it out. Then go back to drills. I find that the best way to have pressure is to play someone in a match that matters. Sometimes it is for money other times it...

I am a league player, tournament player, and I also like to practice (drill). I play league once per week because family duties are a priority for me. I only play the local league so I am qualified to play the larger state and national events. Otherwise I wouldn't play league at all. I go to...

I wish there tournaments for this closer to Louisiana. Seems everything is on the East coast or northern states.

I enjoy slow players as it gives me ample opportunity to text and make phone calls. Someone that plays a lot of safety shots tends to get them played back at some point also. I once played with a guy that would look at the angle on the 8-ball with ball in hand and the 9 hanging. He was...

Why would you do away with a jump cue? Wouldn't that be taking a tool out of the bag "just because"?

Call our league old fashioned but we pay cash every week.

I have had a hard time quitting league pool. I have a wife and 2 kids. When I don't have a set plan to go play, I typically miss out due to other family duties. Playing one night per week is WAY better than playing one pool tournament every couple of months and getting knocked out in 2...
