    Bonus Ball Schedule: Right or Wrong

    This thread is so full of misinformation that it's beyond ridiculous. Since when does one person's speculation become fact? Almost nothing I've read in this thread is remotely close to true. There are people busting their asses here at the WPBL studio and spending millions, all to make a better...

    Bonus ball, know how I can tell it's a fail?

    Online streaming is great because its live and on schedule. We love the support from enthusiasts who are willing to tune in to the streams, but the reality is that's never going to pay the bills. We're not trying to offend the online fans, were simply being honest that it's not the priority...

    Strickland vs Jeremy Jones coming up!

    Its real tricky. Go to WPBLtv.com, click on the big "live streaming" button in the main menu and then click play. (im just teasing you) All jokes aside though, I'll finally get a chance to make some improvements to the site this week, now that I have 3 days off without any matches.

    Lack of interest for Bonus Ball

    Check the very first Mosconi Cup. The turn out was about 50 people. People wont start showing up until people start learning the game. Look at AZ as an example. 10 days ago, 99.999% of people hated BB to the point of talking trash. This week it seems most enjoy it. We cant change the industry...

    Scott Frost and Tommy Kennedy WPBL

    For the record, TK has asked to be coached. He learns a lot from Scott, even if Scott is overbearing sometimes.

    Check Out Bonus Ball Today. Earl's birthday - Earl's team playing!

    I just posted in the other bonus ball thread that I finally sorted out the bugs in the stats program. Ill reprocess the database in the morning, and then we should have live stats, rankings, and standings from here on out. Fingers crossed that the reprocessing is perfect.

    Purchasing the WPBL (aka Bonus Ball) Stream?

    Thanks guys. The live stats and scoring are finally fixed (had some bugs so I disabled them on the site). I just need to reprocess them in the morning and then we should have real time stats from here on out. Same with the standings, as it runs from the same database. Should be interesting to...

    WPBL (Bonus Ball) - Pocket Cut

    The slate is not modified. Its literally identical to a GCV. The only reason the shelf is smaller in the corners, is because the smaller pocket and cut angle makes the shelf sit further out. As such, the side pockets are identical to typical side pockets, except they're 1/2" smaller. Your...

    WPBL (Bonus Ball) - Pocket Cut

    The side pockets arent cut any different. Same angle, just 1/2" smaller. Somewhat puts it into perspective of how hard it is to judge as a viewer, and how tough these pockets really are compared to what people *think* they are.

    Looks like a zooming issue, as the font is all crazy as well. What browser is that, and is it zoomed? Thanks!

    WPBL (Bonus Ball) - Pocket Cut

    You make it sound like the pockets play like buckets down the rail, and impossible from center table. However if you came and hit balls, youd see that we have a near perfect balance now. All shots are equally difficult, and all play honest. This table is equally tough from every angle, but if...

    WPBL (Bonus Ball) - Pocket Cut

    You lost me here. These pockets make it so you can pocket more consistently without it jawing, meaning you can play the shot more firmly, and with more spin. That means players with great cue ball control can play better position, go 3+ rails, without fear of the ball spitting out. It helps...

    WPBL (Bonus Ball) - Hohmann 60 Ball Run on Youtube

    New thread about this. :) http://forums.azbilliards.com/showthread.php?t=322591 Any perfect run of 30 points in regulation or normal shootout allows the player to keep shooting, so virtually anyone can run balls to beat the record. Its not just sudden death.

    WPBL (Bonus Ball) - Pocket Cut

    This was mentioned in another thread, so I figured I'd just start a new one. Pocket cuts are like aiming systems as it seems people are very defensive about them, but I figured I'd explain my take on them, as I feel it's a very important element of what we're doing here at the WPBL arena. I've...

    WPBL (Bonus Ball) - Hohmann 60 Ball Run on Youtube

    The pockets are being made a n 1/8" bigger, and the players will adapt. Within 2 weeks I bet the matches are around the 2 hour mark. If its still too long, we will adjust. :)

    WPBL (Bonus Ball) - Hohmann 60 Ball Run on Youtube

    Aramith wouldnt make us custom colors, but we're hoping now that we're actually up and running, they may take us more seriously. We also have samples from another company on the way that will make us custom colors, so we'll let the players try those and see if they quality is acceptable...

    WPBL (Bonus Ball) - Hohmann 60 Ball Run on Youtube

    Thanks Blake! In the first week we didnt get time to setup the comm system between myself and the commentary booth. As such there was no way to cue the announcers, so we had to wing it. We managed to get that sorted out today, so come this week, we will be able to avoid those types of...
