    Fargo Billiards

    Eight ball is my normal game growing up but have been playing 9 by myself for the last few years to have one object ball to try and get shapes on if I can make the first.

    Fargo Billiards

    I'm up here working as well we should play sometime. What's your favorite game and how good are you? You like the 7 footers or 9? I've played there several times by myself mostly. Sundays are pretty cheap, like 5 bucks plus tax for all day but reasonable other days. I'm working 7 days a...

    Wow

    Looks like my ferrule. I can't remember if I ever had it replaced or not. I know I had it retipped but I asked the guy that did tip replacment if it needed replacing (after this look developed) and he said no several years ago. It's been my main player and breaker for the last probably 25...

    Your thoughts on League Operators, Vegas, Trophies

    Yeah our LO owned a franchise/territory so our city tourney included some folks from outside the city but in the franchise area. Everyone (area divisions) had a playoff spring, summer, and winter sessions locally to earn qualifying spots in the city tournament which happened once a year. 1st...

    Your thoughts on League Operators, Vegas, Trophies

    No 1099. I had been playing in that league for about 10 years before getting to that point so I had some money invested. It was only $5 a week back then if you played league night. I know the nightly cost to play has gone up since then.

    Your thoughts on League Operators, Vegas, Trophies

    When the team I played with in APA won a trip to Vegas back in 2008 it became apparent that not all LO's were required to provide the same assistance from talking with other teams there. In our city tournament 4 teams won free trips to Vegas/nationals that included air fare, room, entry fee...

    Tournaments in Salt Lake City?

    Open to interpretation I'm sure. There was some guy who appeared to be asking for side action for $500 race to seven but I saw no cash and no apparent takers. All 7' diamonds and one larger than 9' table though. Most everyone playing 9 ball.

    Williston ND

    Yeah if that is a must you'll need to find someone with a home table. Most tables in one location in town is at Bills Back 40. I think they had 4 or 5 valley bar tables. The Shop used to have three valleys I think and is just right round the corner from Bills. Then the Ranger Lounge/Casino...

    Billiard Legends, Fresh Burgers, and Weekly Tournaments on Cue in Knoxville

    I have personally ate many a great cheese burger and fries there over the last 20 years. I enjoy cocktails with my pool game and life in general so I have not played an excessive amount of pool there but some. Used to run a pool tournament at the bar next door for a few years a few years ago...

    Pool Team Names: Clever, Funny, Great, Strange...

    I got about two weeks use out of "RIP Big Willy N Mike Hunt" before it got shortened to RIP Big Willy. I was trying to find a clever way to use Michael Hunt in a team name and that was the best I could come up with. I figured something in memorandum of my old buddies they wouldn't mess with...
