A common variation in California during the 60's was that you could only push out if you were hooked in such a way that you could not see the full ball that was your shot. Good rule, because it held down pushouts simply to get advantage. Doc

BT, do you know if the rest of the leader board winners are posted anywhere? Thanks~ Doc

You've got to hand it to Ralston, who lost his first match 4-7 against Ricky P. He then came all the way to 3rd on the loser's side. I'd like to have seen Nick win it; but JJ is a consummate pro. Doc

Sounds like a reasonable offer to me. Perhaps Scott doesn't gamble. Doc

Is it true that they're not taking entry fees from non-pro players yet for the one-pocket event? I guy over in Mobile told me that he tried to call to register with a CC, but they told him they were waiting until most of the pros signed up before accepting amateurs. I can't imagine that would...

Troy, not to add to your loss on Abood, but I heard that after the tourney, even though Abood lost 7-0, 5-0 to Scott S., he wanted to gamble with him after the event. When Scott was asked how much weight he'd need, he said, "I don't know. I've never seen the guy shoot!":D Now I don't care who...

Thanks for the "honorable mention", Hu.:smile: At Joey's age, he gets easily overwhelmed and confused. Actually I played one-pocket getting 2 balls with Marshall "Tuscaloosa Squirrel" Carpenter on Sat. and Sunday both. I quit 5 games loser Sat. because my play had gone bye-bye. Sunday we...

Calm down, Joey. He's not going to give you 12-4... Doc

That's not true. But it looks to me as though the public sentiment on this event has swung positive. You can explain to me all the inner workings of Galveston over in Mobile this weekend. I assume you'll be attending Mobile, even though there's no possibility of you being able to...

Joey, you old pea-picker, don't go and get sensitive on me, now. This is the first time I've given you the needle during this entire Galveston story. However I notice that some others have been giving it to you pretty good.:D I don't think that there's a pool player alive who doesn't hope...

Well, you left out answering the part about the pro event participators. But I'm assuming that a pro event player and his spouse will both get a pass for the pro events, valid even after elimination. Although I hate the thought of going over there to Galveston and paying $1500 to play two...

Hu, it's very unlikely that Hemi will travel to Galveston. He's had back problems for years, which does not allow him to attend many events. Also, he's pretty busy with computer work for his graduating class. He doesn't post as much as he used to, but it's always enjoyable when he does. Doc

Is that Joe "Do I amuse you?" Pesci...:D Doc

Thanks, Mike. If it's true about the pro event wive's passes, then I doubt that they'd require that entrants would have to pay to watch once they're eliminated. Doc

OUCH! If those statements are true, then it'll influence a decision for me not to go much easier. I'll check around and see if that's the way it will be. Doc

I agree with Ghost, MarkGW, and SJDick. Grady, Billy, Freddy and Buddy were my favorites. No one has better insights than Grady. He sees all the shots, and can call them better than most. I've come to enjoy Danny's commentary, mainly because he's mellowed a little with age. He used to be...

The AZ article kept referring to John "Smith" rather than Schmidt.:D They probably weren't able to get updated info either...:rolleyes: Great tournament. I'm sure the bugs will be worked out for next year. Doc

Can't blame you there, bro. I think I'll try that myself! Doc

wjpjr, I assume Nick was giving up weight. Do you know how they were playing? Thanks~ Doc

Inspiration Jay, the picture of your shirt is an inspiration to old guys everywhere. Who would have thought that a man of your age would look well in the color yellow? Doc Advises against pink
