This is BCA 9 ball.....not APA. It's too bad that this game doesn't have one standardized set of rules for league play....hang the BCA, APA, TAP, APL and other leagues that tweak all the rules to fit different skill levels. Maybe there should be one way to shoot pool (BCA, I prefer), but if...

A good lesson indeed! Had he not had superior cue ball control, things might have been different. He planted the cue ball hooked near the 8....the first time, the CB went to at least 3 rails....and dies without hitting anything (dead rails?). Also, my lack of skill. Second time, same...

For BCA? I went to our LO, who was playing that night also. She said he is allowed to do that.

Sunday night's 9 ball: I had a hissy.:o:angry::o The opposing team was good.....never miss, run outs, etc....and it was intimidating. I watched them play my teammates and knew that it would be luck that got us any games. I wasn't far off. But I got pissed off and threw a hissy. I'd...

Now that sounds like an interesting game! I may try that next. Last night, I played a '3'. He was no '3'. I'd have to rate him a 5, if anything. He ran 6 balls in a row on a medium-hard table. Gimme a break! 2 wins to my 3, and he got me in 5 total innings? That's a '3'? I cry...

I don't understand, Mark..... a '1'? I play both BCA and APA, and neither one has a '1'. APA's lowest level is a 2, and BCA is a 4. What am I missing? I'm not playing APA 9 ball. It's BCA. We only count wins....not balls. So of a possible 32, we had 14. It was a close night. Had I...

I'm still wiped out. ;) Details will have to wait. I shot in the 9 ball league tonight and only won 3 games out of 8. These guys are all awesome shots, and I was lucky to do that. One thing about 9 ball: don't make a mistake.:cool:

Well, it's over for us, but it was a good time! :) It's all good. Match #1 this morning.......won! Match #2 this afternoon......won (along with a spot of cash). Match #3 starting at 7:30pm......lost. We're out. Details in the morning, I'm wiped out.:cool:

It's late, but I thought I'd chime in. We lost our first match, we're in the loser bracket. We played Cameron against another 4 first........he barely lost, but he did lose. Next match, my SO Gene against another 5, he won. 1-1, tied up. Next match, Steve, sl7, went up against an...

Since it was only practice before matches started, I wasn't going to make it a big deal. Trust me.......if this were in match play, that ball would go back! I just mentioned it as part of the mindset of the people that play APA. No respectful BCA player would even dream of saying anything...

I'm hoping it's only that one league. Our team on Tuesdays is much different. My team had to throw second, so they threw me. They threw a 2 at me. I thought he shot like a 3. I had to win 4 games to his 2. Game 1: Won Game 2: Lost (scratched on the 8) Game 3: Won Game 4: Won Game 5...

Okay, first night of APA 8 ball on another 'blind' team. There is a 7, a 5, (3) 4's, and a 3. Since I'm a 4, I didn't get to play. In practice, the other 4 I was shooting had this shot....she was solids, shooting at the 3...

One night a week? What is more important on the other nights? A couple of hours practice even once a week is going to make an improvement on your game. I find the time. I find pool relaxing, enjoyable, addictive and when I feel lousy, all I need to do is shoot some pool, and I feel better...

No, they didn't see me play before we got on their team. They told the bartender they needed a couple of people, and our name was sent on to them because we left word we wanted to play. We went in as totally unknown. We had to ask when we got there the first night where they were! There...

At the risk of the certain few chanting, "Neener neener neener", I'm now officially INSANE. I picked up a BCA 9 ball league on Sunday night. :groucho: So the schedule for the summer is: Sunday.....BCA 9 ball Monday.....APA 8 ball Tuesday....APA 8 ball This week's schedule is a killer (but...

Good plan, JCMn. The way the table looked, he was all out in the open, and it would have been very difficult to snooker him from any spot. I have no problem doing that, or hitting the opponent's ball on purpose to try and bunch him up when there is no other recourse. My teammate did just...

I'm in the doghouse tonight. :embarrassed2: Evidently, after the playoffs I was moved up to an sl/4. That's okay with me, but it sure messes up our team.:crying: As this is a new season, and we have new players, it will yet be determined how it shakes out. I don't think anyone of us is a 3...

I seem to shoot on leagues a lot......mostly because most of the people I know are on them! I like to do tournaments, but I'm not good enough to place well in them, so it's a waste of money so far. But so is league play, when you think of it, per game. But I do enjoy the competition at any...

Yes, I made it through 3 brackets at the Western BCA Regionals in Lincoln City, OR in March. My first tournament, I made it through 3 also. I won a 6'er of beer for being the last woman standing (out of 5). I do tournaments from time to time.

BrokeStroke, you're on the money. Twitty is trying to egg me on. I played for a post, but got bored, so I'm done responding to that person. Where's that ignore button?:cool:
