    A few thoughts on the "AZ family".

    I try to stay out of the crazy topics. Everyone I have met in person from AZB has been great! Give it a little time and you learn who is worth listening to and who is full of it. But, that said, you have to have a thick skin if you start posting about anything that can be disagreed with :)

    You're not an A, B, C player till you can do what?

    And the question really is, what rating scale? Not all "A" players are "A" players in other systems.... In MN we have MN State rankings that are Master, AA, A, B, and C. An A player in this ranking may very well be a B+ player in one that only goes AA,A,B,C, or, could be a B- player in one that...

    White Glove

    I'm assuming you're talking about when ordering from someone online. Normally if you purchase a table online, the table is shipped directly to your house and you're responsible for getting it inside and checking it for shipping damage. With "White Glove" the table will be shipped to the...

    The truth about the GSBT event in Bristol TN

    All I can say is I have played in a GSBT event and they did a great job. There is an old thread about my complaining about the owner and his room (which is since out of business) but I made sure that the GSBT folks were NOT blamed. I think they do a great job and I have no problem with their...

    please help identify this cue

    Don't think it's an old Viking as they normally had their name on them. Also, they used piloted joints or ones with brass inserts IIRC.

    Table size and numbers

    Having played in GSBT tournaments before I think you'll need more tables... IIRC AA players play to 11, A to 9, and B to 7. So, that for starters is going to make it longer matches. The last GSBT event I attended play didn't start until around 2pm on the Saturday as sign ups were till noon and...

    Table size and numbers

    Also, are you thinking tournaments like the GSBT? Or your own inhouse tournaments? If it's inhouse, you could always do things like "losers bracket plays on 7' tables"...

    Table size and numbers

    What game? What would the race be on each side? How long of a time frame do you want the tournament to complete in? What type of money would you expect the tournament to be for (the larger the purse, the slower the matches). Would you be expecting the tournaments to be full of pro and short-stop...

    Murphy cue leans for tables....

    That will first depend on if the place that made them originally finds them. And if not, what the cost would be for someone else to sell them. I wouldn't be surprised if there is a market for these, especially to people who want them for home use like myself.

    Murphy cue leans for tables....

    Heard back from Murphy Machining. They haven't made any in a number of years, but they think they may still have a number of them sitting in a box somewhere. He's going to get back to me if he can find them. I guess they made them in 3 styles, a straight one, one that could be curved to fit on...

    Murphy cue leans for tables....

    To give you an idea, I have these from Ikea It's sold as the Ribba picture ledge... But, it perfectly fits a bottle of beer on it. Even fits a bottle that has a neoprene coozie on it. They jut out very little and the lip on the front edge is great because it keeps the bottle from getting...

    Murphy cue leans for tables....

    I have two cue claws in my game room already (a 5 and a 2) and a 3 in my pool case. I'm looking for these to screw onto some little shelves I have along the wall that are there for people to set their drinks on. I don't want the cue claws for those as it takes up space on the shelf even if...
