Stay the course, my friend. I am in the same boat. Just had the 1 year of my divorce being final after a 20 year marriage. TO this day I am finding out (and paying for) the wreckage my ex caused with our finances. It is truly a nightmare. But if the good Lord's willing and the creek don't...

Thanks for the clarification...not sure why I was thinking earl...those two aren't easily confused :)

Agree with the spirit of this, but if you go back and read through the old threads, Jay was the TD as well as match referee. He was probably as close as one could possibly be and not be directly involved. He claims that 7 out of 8 players were in on it, with Earl being the holdout. I agree...

I started my team 6 years ago with my best buddies. Play one night during the week, and 1 or 2 weekends a year for tourneys. I got 2 very active teenagers. I coach many of their teams. It is frustrating, but the APA is a money making business. The more they can force you to create new teams...

(y)...more than just a room owner...used to make/sell Southeast cues, room owner, diamond table distributor, and will always take the time to share some great pool stories

Hahaha...OK big fella...

I am in the minority in that I am not a big fan of JJ's voice. His knowledge and insights are great, but the monotone just kills it for me. You ain't gotta be Kasey kasem, but a little inflection and pitch would go along way, imo.

LOL. Good point. So I guess the benefit is the no warping/no dings? Yes, vault plate. that's what I was thinking of.

Please humor me as I have not taken the CF plunge yet, but weren't CF shafts ferrule-less in the beginning, with just a pad that the tip was glued to? (Maybe some still are?) I thought this was one of the big selling points in making it super low deflection. If you add ferrules, especially...

Not a bad showing from the Americans as a whole. Seems Oscar is playing at a high level right now, and even Thorpe looked like he belonged for the most part. Same old sky and tyler...knocking on the door, but just can't seem to take the next step. SVB looked shaky at times, and his body...

Ok, so maybe not the best example there...but yall get what point I was going for...:ROFLMAO:

He who has the money, writes the checks. He who writes the checks, has the power. He who has the power, has the money. -Frank Peretti, The Oath MR is a well-oiled machine. Their taking control of pro pool in such a short amount of time is nothing if not impressive.

I thought there was no conceding in MR?

Great representation, no doubt. I wonder how many on that list will play scottish, uk, WPC, Dubai open, Lushan Open, China Open, Helsinki Open, Euro open, etc. I am not trying to factor in sponsorships, because I have no idea, but how much would Danny Olson have to make each tourney to at...

My concern is that some of our best players not named SVB (Skylar, Oscar, Billy, Hennessee, Jeremy Sossei, etc.) aren't going to globe trot around Europe and Asia, spending time away from friends and family, with not a very high chance to make significant money in the Big tourneys. I could be...

a Couple of thoughts: Right now, MR does not seem to be pulling in too many "new" or "casual" fans from the US. Nothing scientific, just my own observations from the bars, pool room, etc. My personal opinion is that it is the PPV model, Dazn, and having all the Euro and Asian tourneys that are...

Just about seems like the takeover of professional pool is all but complete, and professionals competing at games such as 8 ball, 1 pocket, 10 ball, etc. will be pushed further to the fringes, at least for the time being. Great for some. Also seems like the US will continue to become less and...

Condolences on your grandfather. Mine was my hero, and I miss him everyday.

Which event was scheduled first? If MR scheduled on top of the predator event, would they consider changing dates? Or vice versa?

Don't know if you would consider it, but there was a gorgeous pech. with a cf shaft and maple shaft (test hit only) on the for sale forum for a great price. had to force myself not to pull the trigger.
