So based on that, a 6 who plays like a top end 7 will never be caught. That explains all the 6's who put together 2 and 3 packs in repeated matches at the TAP regionals in the area I use to play in. You can have an auto flag system all you want but when a team wins 3 years in a row and their...

Justnum, I would suggest others that might be doing well are pool hall owner, League Directors or Operators, Cue makers and maybe some others. Many seem to do pretty well making a living off the game. Then there are the admin people that work at the CSI and APA offices. You seem to have an...

The celbs would play a race to 2 in 8-ball (the game most people know and can follow. The pro's would play a race to 4 shown mostly with clips. Remember, people will watch weigh-ins for an hour or more. They could stand for 30 minutes of really bad pool played by charlie Sheen and Will Smith for ex.

A thought on the idea of a reality show. I am going to combine 2 shows that my wife watches (and I get roped in on vary rare occasions). 1) The Biggest Loser. When it first started, no one had a clue who the "coaches" were. Now they are household names to anyone who has watched the show (I...

The main problem is that we just don't hear very many opinions from that type of player. Leagueguy

Fantastic post. Alhough I think that it is not as bad as everyone here on AZ makes it seem like it is. The problem here is that the majority of the opinions you get are from the same type of player. Those players who are good enough that they think that they could be pro's if the game had...

Mark, I agree with TimKrazyMon on the fact that you have provided a great service to the amateur player (see Tim, we actually agree on something else). One thing I would really like to see is to have the BCAPL and the APA work together to grow the game from the amateur player right up to the...

I would not be so sure about that. Maybe on AZ we are the minority, but if you polled the average player (who is not really all that good by the way), they probably would disagree with you assuming they even cared in the first place. No disrespect intended with my comment. All I am saying is...

Thats quite ironic. The APA has had that system in place for a long time and yet people whine about things like that. Just sayin Leagueguy

Well said Mark. The last thing we need to do is make things more difficult for the good promoters and leagues who want to run their events Leagueguy

Agree 100%. Leagueguy

Now that we have the sandbagging poll going, I am just curious as to what people think about Gambling. Would you hide your true speed in order to get a big spot in a race for a large amount of cash.

I wonder if this was not a public poll if it would make a difference in the answers. People are less likely to speak the truth when they know others can tell what they said. just curious. Leagueguy

Can you provide actual numbers to back that up. I believe the last time you claimed that TAP was the fastest growing league, you misquoted an article and then refused to provide facts to back it up. APA Operator then came on here and used facts to dispute your claim and then you disappeared for...

I believe that you owe Justadub an apology. He is actually defending leagues saying that he doesn't think sandbagging is as rampant as everyone thinks it is, and you go off on HIM. As I said, I belive you owe Justadub an apology. Leagueguy

I was told that in order to host a US Amateur qualifer, a location had to have 4.5 X 9 tables. US Am were not allowed to play on bar box. Not sure if it is true though.

If my memory serves me correctly, the regional winner recieve accomodations and the National Champion recieves entry into the US open as well. There is no cash. However, for the last 2 players from the qualifier that i played in, the pool hall offered up some "sponorship money" to help offset...

Nope - reading the forums on AZ. Should be hitting balls in a couple of hours. Leagueguy

Thats awesome. Green rep to you. Leagueguy

I have never heard any APA person say negative things about AZ Billiards. I get to read all the time what AZ Billiard Members think about the APA. If all you play is APA, why would you waste your time on hear listeneing to people bash the league that you enjoy. Leagueguy
