I am going to make a short video for our league members on what happens when player has cue ball in hand behind head string and does not contact an object ball and also fails to hit it out beyond the headstring (places CB and nudges it slightly). It is my opinion it is a foul and the penalty is...

The spring session of Shooters Billiards (MN) Straight Pool League will begin next Monday night at 7:00 pm. League play is handicapped and all experience levels of players are welcome. If you live in the area and enjoy this historic game, this league is for you. -Dennis Green

Thank you, RG. Before you leave the area maybe we can play a game. -Dennis

I also need to add, on the next video, if the 15th ball is pocketed in the same shot as the 14th. I hope to get the next video put together next week.

Steve... You are correct, sir. I will add it in the next, smoother video. -Dennis

First try is available at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0cgVIoSAHSY Eventually I will make another, smoother I hope.

Does anyone know of existing video covering common racking situations, such as CB in rack area, OB in rack area, CB and OB in rack area? I was going to make one for new players to 14.1, but wanted to see if one already exists. -Dennis

I would like to also see a "US Open 14.1 Championship" revived and grow. -Dennis

Is this tournament happening soon and will it be streamed? According to info I have, it should be starting this weekend but haven't heard anything recently. -Dennis

The fall 2013 14.1 League season will begin Monday night 9/16. We will have a special sign up night with free pool for those who register on Monday 9/9 from 7:00-9:00pm. For more info pm me or stop by Shooters in Burnsville, MN. -Dennis

There is also appendix C in "Willie Mosconi on Pocket Billiards" listing World Pocket Billiard Champions from 1878 (Cyril Dion) to 1990 (Bobby Hunter). By adding the later champions from 2006 to present a list could be produced. Willie Mosconi's book in no longer in print I believe, but should...

Thanks for the instructional video. -Dennis

I feel a high run in a match has much more pressure associated with it. Willie Mosconi's 526 consecutive ball run was done in an exhibition match under different table conditions but still the highest single game run. I would imagine if it was in a world championship they might not have let him...

Glad to hear there is a shot clock being used.

Ipad version of Billiards Buddy now is landscape format. Great feature. I like it better then beads or wheels...but that just me.

We always try to split our players into separate divisions based on player ratings. Usually 600 and above ratings and below 600 in the other division. I believe it makes for more interesting matches (closer ball spot). If we had games played, say to 150-15, the 150 player would have to play such...

Interesting topic that we have been discussing in our league for some time. Some players can finish a 150 point game in less than 2 hours with regularity, while others seem to take considerably longer even with 100 point games. Don't know the answer (yet). -Dennis

Great points. Totally in agreement with you and Ingo.

Best of luck to you on your new league. -Dennis

I would say your current high run would be 42 (they were all legally pocketed) and your game score would be 41. -Dennis
