Wow, didn't know TAP is now putting stats up! That is very cool, I always wished they would throw the numbers and formula out so everyone could see exactly how handicaps are arrived at...neat stuff :)

I've got a Lowe's around here and they didn't carry them, gonna check depot's website....thanks for the info both of you!

Gopi reminded me: Did the houseman tell Roberto "no mas(se')!" :D

Where did you get the internal square reflectors on that first one? I have seen the white square reflector/baffles (?) for under the lights, but I haven't been able to find any shiny reflective ones like in your first pic which are similar to the diamond lights. I'm going to be building...

Jamsgolf, have you thought of dart tournaments? I assume you are using a black widow or other coin op electric board, tournaments for those can be pretty popular. And yes, they tend to be drinkers. :)

Notice the words 'big spenders' there? And in case you didn't know, league players spend money so of course they get kickbacks like free pool on league nights! If they sat there sipping free water practicing all day and complaining about bottled water prices they would not be getting free table...

Trust me, I know the feeling! Of course you are! Just as others are allowed to respond to the things you post. Well base insults are no way for adults to discuss things. If you are so defensive and angry about being called out for nit behavior/statements then it obviously hits close to...

The place I worked at did greens fees for the weekly league 'packet' or info sheet(s) + rack of balls for their designated table (it was an in house league). It was $5 per team (5 man teams). This was before they paid their weekly league dues which, as you said, went to the league itself. Free...

Me either, since you said you were "done with this thread" Which is what this thread is about. The owner of that room has said you must pay $1 for water. Which lead to your indignation of someone charging for water. Ah, more base insults and ad homs. I'm sorry you are so upset...

You've been pretty obvious about what sort of customer you are from your posts here. Anyone who has worked in a room or bar knows the type. And yes, there are many people who enter pool tournaments they have no chance of winning, don't ***** about greens fees (or $1 for a bottle of water), buy...

haha sure whatever you say man. To steal and paraphrase a line from poker: "if you can't figure out who the deadbeat nit is in the poolhall, it is probably you"

Gee, a guy angry over $1 bottle of water is also bitter about how much he pays in table time. What a shocker! hahah yeah it wasn't like I saw it 5 days a week or anything. Let me just ask you this: how often do you question your table time, complain about the hourly rate, and then ask for a...

3 years working as a houseman, yep, never saw how deadbeat nits operate. No sir.... :rolleyes: Look at your own posts so far. You've complained about the audicity of someone charging a measly buck for a bottle of water, and right in those same posts there's disparaging comments about how much...

So true, and I can't help but feel sorry for the staff. The people crying about $1 bottles of water ain't tipping jack, you just know it. I feel really sorry for a staff with 'regulars' like that. They must sit around discussing how bad they hate them at 2am. And despite some of the claims in...

Good for them. Unfortunately, a lot of 'players' like to think a pool hall is a free public service/hangout like the public library or a bus stop. It isn't, it is a business. As an example, try going to the movie theater sometime and hanging around for 8-12 hours...then ask them to give you...

What a great interview! I wish it was longer, he is not only smart but has a lot of interesting insights into not just pool but human character. Fascinating guy.

Well it happens with every league. TAP is great, not trying to dog on them at all. Like I said, there is little/nothing to be done about determined sandbaggers, and individual league operators make all the difference in how things are run on the local level.

They do about as much as every other league to prevent sandbagging, which is to say: little or nothing depending on your league operator. TAP is a great league organization, but like every league, there are people who abuse the system if they are given leeway. And also like every league, your...

Lenny it is a shame you are so scrawny, because I would totally buy that Scott/Efren shirt if it was an XL :D Wouldn't happen to have any old XLs of that lying around would you?

looking forward to more details on the contest and how to enter, and crossing fingers for a live stream...would love to watch this matchup!
