    Gorst makes history at DCC

    over $52,000 at Derby. $52,000 for the two tournament wins and MOT. I think 6th round pays either $275 or $300.

    JONATHON HENNESSEE PINEGAR

    Henny has been a staple at Derby City for years. He even came to my local room when it opened. Not a lot of people knew who he was. My question is why he would decline an invitation to the World Championships?

    SJM at the 2023 Derby City Catastrophe

    Not everyone buys back. My guess is it allows the players that want to keep playing to do so. The buybacks are added revenue that help fund the master of the table as well as the payouts they have. What many people may not know is all someone has to do is get to round 5 and they make money...

    Gorst makes history at DCC

    It has been mentioned that Gorst now becomes only the second player in DCC history to win all three of the main tournaments. The first was Alex Pagulayan. What makes this special is this is Fedor's third time playing at Derby. He did it in two years what took Alex ten plus years. Fedor made...

    SJM at the 2023 Derby City Catastrophe

    I was at Day 1 and days 8 and 9 of this event and this was my 18th derby I have attended. Here are a couple thoughts: First off, Thank you Stu for letting me be your guest and sit front row for the bank pool ring game. Its my favorite part of Derby and happy a fellow Ohio guy won it. I...

    DCC carbon-fiber/wood shaft usage ratio....?

    I was there last weekend and your observation would be correct. If I had to guess, it is easily 3-1 or 4-1, if not higher. It is interesting that Filler has gone back to carbon now.

    Is the 2023 Derby City Classic 9 Ball going to be viewed as a tainted win?

    Ding Ding Ding. We have a winner. I played in this many times. Great event.

    Is Derby City capping entries this year?

    either that or cap the entries. The buy back option is different and this is the only tournament that has it, but it is a major PIA.

    Is Derby City capping entries this year?

    Yeah I remember the earlier years where the player numbers were not as high as they are now and the events finished on the days they advertise them to finish. Now they spill over a number of times. It is for sure one of the more popular events of the year. I will be there the 1st day and then...

    Personally most annoying thing in pool.

    Another annoying thing for me is people complaining about paying for a stream (which gives them dozens of hours of pool) put pay the same or more for a UFC pay per view, which is less then 1 hour of actual fighting.

    Would winner-break Nine Ball be more interesting if...

    this is something you do at your friends house while intoxicated, not for a pro game.

    Elise Foster Ultimate Pool

    That looks to be a blackball set of pool balls. That would be my guess.

    Does Russian Pyramid deserve a section?

    There isn't enough interest to merit it's own section. As much as I would like an artistic pool section, there just isn't the interest in it.

    Turning Stone Classic XXXVI

    Agreed. Mosconi Cup is a different animal. The crowd and the interaction with the players is what its about. Its pool meets WWE. Jayson is just like heel (bad guy) Brett Hart from the 90's. He was a hero in Canada but a vilian in the US. Jayson "plays the heel" while in the US at mosconi...

    Turning Stone Classic XXXVI

    I played Landon my second year playing at Derby back when it was at the Executive West. He beat me 7-0. That might have been the turning point that make me veer towards artistic pool. lol
