This thread probably owes its birth to the concept of 9BP not coming here for the hunting.

Yes Bob, that is indeed an Australian site which were just picking up the Uk based streaming of the WEPF World 8 Ball Championships taking place in Blackpool, England and re-streaming it. Quite a few Australians were in the event and one has reached the semis of the main event, hence their high...

I didn't go to your UStream link and have only seen this comment just now, so am only guessing really......but what you were watching there was almost certainly a re-streaming of the official stream of the WEPF World 8 Ball Championships (Uk style 8 ball) presently taking place in Blackpool in...

Which is far more than can be said for her man (only kiddin Ross!).....one of the finest uk style 8 ball players ever :)

Out here golf club membership for a club like mine is approx $7,000 per year. After that for general play golf rounds there are no green fees but each member has to pay about $22 per person per 18 holes to use a golf cart. My club is by no means the most expensive of the 12 main ones in the...

:confused:Not sure what you mean by that.......soccer is by a zillion miles the world's most popular sport.

Sorry Scott but snooker is played quite a lot in far more countries than those three, including China which is a major source of sponsorship. Even a tiny outback like the UAE has resident foreign snooker coaches and an international snooker team, as do several other Middle East countries. As it...

For Joey and Jay..... That aerial photo (post #25) of those four tables in Millenium Avenue Billiards Dubai which you referred to isn't actually the qualifying tournament arena as such Joey/Jay. Those four are mainly used at practice tables. The tables used for most qualifying matches were to...

Newsflash.....the weather forecast is for constant sunshine and the traffic jams are still rampant. The price of beer is even dearer than before. Most pubs are pretty good but most night clubs are full of 'up themselves' trendy posers. The muppet taxi drivers still don't know where they're...

8pack....did the cue ball smash the lightshade on the next table? :)

Yep sunny, no sweat :)

:eek: I don't think I even want to know what the headstring is in that bar :)

I'd trust him far more on the measurement of the angles if he were a protractor :p

Quite right for the current rules version Creedo, "numbered ball" instead of "object ball" which is what used to be referred to. Interestingly the latter is still in the official wording of WPA Rules on WPA's own website. Both wordings of course have the same meaning as the explanation already...

Yes Jim....just about all the "mainstream" rules BCA/WPA etc do certainly use the term "object ball" but it definitely doesn't mean what those guys you routinely play with are insisting to you that it means. They are wrong pure and simple. The "object ball" which the rules say needs to contact...

I'm sure it's unintentional but this could be interpreted as if you might be saying that in that sort of scenario it MUST be the first ball you contacted (in this case the 5) which goes to the rail. I'm certain you know that it doesn't have to be the 5 or the cue ball and that it can be any ball...

:confused: The thread title is "BCA Safety Question" which makes me wonder if maybe you haven't quite asked what you were trying to ask. What you seem to be just actually asking is no more than just "What consititutes a legal shot?" Assuming what constitutes a legal shot is what you are asking...

Yep, know exactly what you mean dabarbr.

Wouldn't doubt for a nanosecond that someone of your skill can execute that exactly as diagrammed and it's a live option, but I see 3 problems with it when your opponent comes to the table. 1. It leaves a relatively easy bank back to the top left, certainly far easier than the bank option to...

Crawfish, definitely.....no contest......everyone I know says the same. Hopefully one of his knives will now be cutting the rope :p Saving a life can make you feel really good...... www.trololololololololololo.com
