Well, we will have to agree to disagree. I'm basing my remarks on the assumption that only the facings are screwed up, and that the table is basically an original configuration GC I, which, I think, is the most likely scenario. Sure, " It's possible the subrail wood is all chewed up," but why...

BTW, there'a s good comment here about why balls rattle out of pockets, from our infamous RKC: Table Difficulty Factor (TDF)

I have a Gold Crown I, likely a 1962 model. The pocket pictured above looks like a standard GC I slate and rails, where an extra layer of facings has been applied to tighten up the pockets. This is never a good idea. To fix this, the most expeditious and inexpensive way would be to simply...

I don't know what you're looking at, but it's not a very deep shelf. You can see light beneath the balls, and part of the ball return gulley. It looks just like the shelf on my GC I.

Yea, you can invent any game you want.

Again, what set of pool rules makes a break with a pocketed ball an illegal break? Any that I know are a pocketed ball or four balls must hit a rail or, and so on.

I would match-mark the pieces very carefully, i.e., accurately. I could be that this base frame was shipped assembled because it was built on a jig, to ensure it was flat, with no twists, etc. So, you want to preserve the exact alignment of all the parts. Draw an arrowhead across two mated...

But then there's the Brunswick manual, which says the base frame comes out of the carton assembled.

What rules are these? Four balls pocketed? Really? How about one?

It's really cheap to rent a trailer like that from U-Haul, like in the $50 neighborhood. Would be worth it.

The mistake was accepting his foul break as a legal break. You should have made him break again. If he fouls a second time, warn him: "NOTE: If the shooter is not warned after the 2nd foul and commits a 3rd, it will not be a loss of game. Instead the opponent must again warn the shooter that...

I sincerely doubt your Centennial was shipped assembled as I think you are asserting. The base frame is identical to the Gold Crown, even the way it attaches to the legs. According to the Centennial manual, step two is to assemble the base frame. But then, maybe your Brunswick and your...

According to the manual it's clear it was shipped assembled. But then, anything can be taken apart!

Worse, she could knit an Afghan!

That's funny. :) I think we should have some kind of pool player's association that's not one of these profit-oriented congresses, but simply an advocacy association for players, room owners, and manufacturers, who could lobby agencies like TSA and FAA, and others (admittedly low-cost...

He didn't gate check. He didn't make it through security to the gate. He went back to the check-in counter, where they charge you for luggage.

O.K., that's enough now. Go tell him that you both made a mistake with the rules, you don't consider it a win but he can keep the money, and you'd like a chance to win it back: double the bet. Check him on the weight you give him. Print out the rules you plan to use. I recommend BCA. (These...

They do! 3.0 LEGAL BREAK SHOT For the break shot to be legal, the breaker (with the base of the cue ball placed anywhere behind the head string) must either pocket an object ball or drive at least three (3) object balls to one or more rails. If the breaker fails to make the legal break...

I looked just now and there are a lot of snooker scoreboard apps! I'm thinking of a wall bracket for my 10" Samsung android tablet, and using an app. First couple I tried are a bit lame. Is anyone aware of a survey of those apps to identify the best among them? If you're using one or more...

(what are the chances you could take him by sandbagging through a few games and increasing the bet?) :)
