Holy shit! There's actually a place named "Rancho Cucamonga"!?

Clearly this is the work of the Pentavirate... it's a well known fact, Sonny Jim, that there's a secret society of the five wealthiest people in the world, known as The Pentavirate, who run everything in the world, including the newspapers, and meet tri-annually at a secret country mansion in...

I totally agree with this. How do you explain to a kid the difference between achieving something in a video game with achieving something for real like running a rack of 9-ball? I was talking to a co-worker about playing pool. He grew up with a table and likes to talk to me about it. The...

Ridiculous.

I wouldn't hold your breath in Atlanta. They need to raise about $1,300 a day to meet their goal. Right now, they're averaging about $95. So the question is, are they going to make the circuit regardless of whether they can afford to film it?

I really like my Bolt 2. I won it in a raffle this summer and made it my regular playing cue. I had been playing with a custom cue before that.

There is a NAPA league in Austin: http://napaleagues.com/page.php?page=finder&location=Texas I really like the NAPA format. naparules.com

History has shown repeatedly that it takes more collecting a bunch of really good players to win team events. http://www.azbilliards.com/news/stories/10824-its-europe-in-a-landslide/ Billiard's Digest write-up of last year's MC also talked about how well the Euros gelled as a team.

Found this all the way back on page 10... Last night was NAPA laggers choice. I lost the lag by ¼". He choose 10-ball for a 4-4 race. Neither of us played very well; I don't think I ran more than 3 balls at a time until the last game. We kept giving each other chances and then...

I agree that the DCC is a pool "major". However, I disagree with your overall list. In particular, the Ryder Cup in golf is not a "Major". It's an exhibition, just like the Mosconi Cup. The four golf Majors are: * The Masters * The US Open * The Open Championship * The PGA Championship...

You're comparing football and pool? A more appropriate comparison would be golf. People cheer as players walk down the fairway or hit a good shot. But when the golfer begins taking his stance, they stfu. As pretty much everyone else has said, the fans have been great but need to shut up...

Nah. Once you get used to someone's accent it doesn't get in the way much. Also, it allows for some good-natured ribbing which is also key for team cohesiveness.

APA, NAPA, TAP, VNEA, BCAPL, ACS, in-house leagues, GPPL, American Rotation Can the market really sustain another league?

I'll probably watch it, though I can't say that I'm interested in dealing with any Scooter-wannabes that the show might create. I haven't seen anything about where the episodes will air. I assume that the show has not actually been picked up by a network and that they'll put 'em on YouTube or...

Personally, I think the blue cloth makes it easier to see the edge of the balls.

How do you know he didn't lose 30K to a woman named Janette? :rolleyes: If the picture is anything to go on, I'm sure this show will highlight the classy and sophisticated side of pool hustlers. :killingme:

The name is everything, man... I bought a raffle ticket for a Poison and ended up with C.C. Deville!

Do you know how handicaps are adjusted in that league? In NAPA your handicap goes up and down every week based on whether you win or lose, so the only way to sandbag is to lose your match.
