I like that Paul started a thread to at least discuss possible alternatives to the current way of doing things. At TS it seemed a little unfair that only a couple of matches before Morra beat Shaw for the hot seat but then loses the tournament because he didn't beat him again. So it ends up...

The only decent pool on ESPN is when they simply run the Matchroom productions of the World Cup or Mosconi Cup. Problem is they aren't live but delayed...usually by several months. The World Cup and Mosconi Cup were run on the ESPN's internet channel ESPN3 live and they were great. But again...

How does that solve the issue? You can make the bonus $50K, it's not gonna change the amateurs chance of making it past the first round against a pro. If it's me, either I'd love to get SVB just to have had the chance to play him in a tournament, or I'm bummed because I have no chance and...

Seeding makes sense for an established tour where the players are members and there is a reasonable way to determine those seedings (or rankings if you will) that is fair and transparent (i.e. the criteria is pre-set public knowledge). CJ, I know you like golf analogies. The world rankings in...

Tons of "right" on that trick shot in the 2nd video. Now let's see some masse shots. Bet you could devise some cool trick shot that way, tiddly-winking whitey to jump over a disc and pocket a hanger. :grin:

That guy's not so good, he can't even hit a draw shot. :grin-square: Thanks for the links, it brings me back to playing disc pool at day camp when I was a kid. :thumbup:

I agree, but respect is earned. Words without action are nothing. So far I've only heard him talk about his vision and plans for the future of pool. Talk, talk, talk. I can live with that. But then he trashes the USBTC, three events in seven days without the need to incur additional travel...

If you're referring to this one: http://forums.azbilliards.com/showthread.php?t=383258&highlight=Carson it's off - the city of Carson flaked. :(

Honestly CJ,, I expected better from you. Not anymore though. What again have you done for pool lately besides talk about what you've done? We know where you're talking about playing. So take that private jet you mentioned to the PI and get in the box already. You've been around here long...

Yeah, it's unfortunate but I wouldn't exactly put this scheduling conflict in the same category as some of the others that have taken place in recent history.

Didn't even notice that. I was too busy thinking I'd hope my opponent chose solids. It's an interesting physics exercise, but I'm not even sure a break simulator app would be of much benefit. Once the balls start colliding all bets are off. And every table racks different and breaks...

I noticed the head string is marked and assume there is some spot or reference for the racking. Break 'em and have at it. :thumbup:

That's pretty amazing that it's not considered a foul. I'm not up on APA rules but I assume that if the CB contacts a wrong ball first (opponent's ball in 8 Ball or out of rotation in 9 Ball) it's a foul. Using an object ball as a cue ball isn't worse in every possible way than that? Look, I...

Since when is the subject of furniture making boring to Ron Swanson? ;)

Yeah, I think it's similar to this one :grin-square: :

Pool to me is a means to meet like-minded people, accumulate resentments against them, and then bash them on the internet.

This puzzles me. This incident just happened around Xmas yet you've been in California for months. Seems like plenty of time to contact him before this blow-up occurred to schedule something or discuss a time frame. Sounds like this whole exchange could have been avoided. In fact, in its...

What's the problem? Cut it in.

I get your interest and there's much love for the game here, but there already is a separate forum for it that pretty much takes care of the need for sub-forum here.

Very interesting, Freddie. Thanks. Yeah, afaik the BCA simply adopted the WPA rules for all games in their entirety. In fact, all the rules downloads (PDF files) on the BCA website have the WPA letterhead on them except, oddly enough, the 10 Ball rules. But from glancing at them they appear...
