VNEA rules state that you must strike the cue ball at a 45degree angle from the line between the centers of the balls, if they are closer than one chalk width apart or frozen, to avoid the double hit foul. BCA league rules used to state that if the balls were determined to be frozen by both...

Thank God, I was expecting a Rick Astley video.

Get a cover, shoot anyone holding food or drink within 5 feet of the table.

The same thing happened to my Dad. He can pretty much see the table fine without his glasses, but nothing really close and nothing out past 12 feet or so without them.

I always assume that there is no way I can miss this shot, right up until I do.

If you can lock your opponent up so tight that he can't jump, why do you hate jump cues? Seems to me that if you can prevent someone from using that cue then it really makes no difference and isn't really worth whining about. It would be like someone hating on break cues but never giving their...

RIP Beard :frown:

I tend to replace my tips when they just start not feeling right. Some go earlier than others.

I know of at least one guy that has been doing that in one of the local leagues. He's playing pretty sporty!

Thank you all for the good tips! Hopefully I will be able to keep thing level over the next few days and finish well!

I will be competing in a large tournament (Iowa VNEA championships) the rest of this week. It is the first long tournament since I found out I was diabetic. I am not insulin dependent, just oral med, but I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions about how to cope with this condition in a...

I play VNEA league, no handicaps except the masters. You only play 3 games a night, no races, but that being said there is no sandbagging. Everyone just tries to play their best.

You have no obligation to tell him what suit he is, and I think it was darn sportsmanlike of you to try to tell him that he was shooting your ball.

I like seeing these photos a lot! I have never had a chance to get to a tournament like this and these photos are the next best thing! Thanks!
