Thank you for maintaining the list for so many years. We appreciated it very much.

I had a 50 ball run in a league match on December 12th against Paul Guernsey.

I remember this case by thinking about the phase “behind the line.” When someone has ball in hand they must play it from “behind the line (or headstring),” indicating that the “line” or headstring is not part of the kitchen and therefore an OB on the headstring is a legal ball to shoot at.

I believe Straight Pool Deluxe (SPD), which is the app I use, does not increment the innings for player B. Therefore if player A starts the game committing five illegal breaks (for which player B insists player A rebreaks), player A will have five innings recorded and there will be zero innings...

Both the WPA and BCAPL rules are the same for this situation. WPA Rule 4.10 Breaking Foul https://wpapool.com/rules-of-play/#%20410Breaking-Foul BCAPL Rule 6-6 6-6 Scratch or Foul and Opening Break Violation - Penalty 1. If you scratch or foul on the opening break and fail to meet the...

I’m not sure if this is “a thing” or not, but I did ask Mika after his run why he used the extension. He said he felt that the extra weight helped him to drive through the cue ball better.

Way to go! Nice run!

If both balls are the same distance from the head string, the shooter has his choice of which ball is spotted. http://wpapool.com/rules-of-play/#15Cue-Ball-in-Hand

So sad to hear about Bob's passing. I had the pleasure to play against him for several years in BCA league. His game was incredible even though his prime days were behind him. I didn't know him that well but we talked several times during league or at league tournaments. One time, my girlfriend...

Thank you for supporting this high run challenge again, Alinco. Please put me down for a 52-ball run on 1/15. https://youtu.be/nRT2iM-R7II

Could it be possible that you intentionally shot the cue ball into a pocket because you might have heard people in the straight pool community suggest to "take a scratch" when you don't have a good shot or safety? The reason I ask is because "taking a scratch" doesn't mean to shoot the cue ball...

Very nice run!

Beautiful runs, Bobby!

Way to go, Dennis! Nice runs. Good to hear you're playing league. Looking forward to seeing you in a few weeks. Too bad the holidays fall on Saturdays this year so I guess there won't be any 14.1 tournaments.

Before a straight pool tournament, I usually take BIH and a break ball of choice and attempt to run balls. When I miss, I continue from that point and continue to run balls. I do this for several reasons. I want to see how the balls are opening up, get a feel for the table conditions and speed...

I wasn't aware that the American 14.1 was open to the public. I thought it was invite only. Is the $100 a non refundable deposit?

I believe the discussions regarding judgement is based on what Bob Jewett said, ignorance versus malice. This is usually obvious in most cases since I would say that the straight pool community considers straight pool to be a game that is associated with a higher standard of sportsmanship...

It sounds like your opponent didn't know the rules and thought a bad hit resulted in ball in hand. If so, then the cue ball should have been restored and he should have suffered a one point foul. If you think it was an unsportsmanlike act such as intentionally affecting the integrity of the...
