epic 3-0 game of 9-ball thanks :) for sharing thanks :smile-us-down:

For the rest of us, I guess it's sort of a catch 22. I imagine that games of Pushout 9-ball take significantly longer per game than Texas Express format, on average. So if our races are short now, time constraints would probably force them to be even shorter if we played Pushout. Matches...

Dave posted the specific rule right after your post. (Thanks, Dave.) No combos allowed during the rotation stage. :(

When I'm too full my game suffers physically; I can't execute so well. When I'm too hungry, my mental game suffers and I start making bad decisions at the table. I think I need a portable liquid food IV drip system I can plug into while I'm playing so I can stay in proper region of operation...

Ah, yes! OK, I knew the rule, but I had just worded my post incorrectly. I stand corrected; thanks for clearing that up. :)

So what's the status of 10-ball now? Will there be another WPA-Sanctioned World 10-Ball Championships next year? I apologize if this is answered in "World 10-Ball Silence" thread. It's 40 pages so it's a little overwhelming for me to crack it open at this point. I'm just wondering, was...

There is a sure-fire way to make that happen......... ...... make players break their own racks! :D

Maybe there should just be some Pushout tournaments and some Texas Express tournaments. We'll never have everyone agreeing on one or the other. Has there really been zero Pushout tournaments since Texas Express became the norm? Do any pros ever match up using Pushout rules these days? I...

I might be confused about the rules here. Are you saying that I can push, and then you can push back right after that?

Would you really let me to the table just to burn my pushout? In certain cases I suppose it would be worth it to do that; in other cases, perhaps not. To be honest though, I prefer Texas Express. I was just trying to compromise. :) To answer your question, on average I don't think there is...

Thanks, Ray. I'm digging your custom cat badge you have there in your signature. I've gotta figure out how to do that. :D

For sure, you are correct. It would be nice to have the option though, IMO.

The most practical thing we could do to follow what they do in bowling would be to have the cloth tapped on each table so that the balls can settle into the dimples each time the balls are racked. IMO, the next best thing would be a neutral third party racker who has the ability to give a...

Pushing out just seems weird to me, to be able to do that any time during the rack without taking a foul, as many times as you want, as long as it's not after another push. Maybe if you limited it to 1 push per player per rack it could help to combine the favorable aspects of TE & Pushout. I...

I agree with your disagreement. I would also prefer to be allowed to shoot combos during the rotation section as long as you hit the lowest ball first. :)

When it comes to Reps Per Post ratio Mizzle's got everyone beat. 1 post and I'm pretty sure at least 1000 points from getting repped by me and Ross. :nanner: :grin-devilish: There's got to be someone with even more rep than that for 1 post too. :scratchhead: OK, now can the BCS factor in...

I think getting all the balls touching is pretty tough a lot of times. But I will concede that if the kid can get them close enough that the balls get moving, I'd probably be OK with that since the other guy is getting the same rack. The problem with 9-ball though is that if 100% of the balls...

IMO, just playing rack your own & spot the money ball on the break solves it. That way, I don't care what he's doing to his rack; as long as he's not blatantly tilting the rack, he can pretty much do whatever he wants as far as I'm concerned. Personally, I wouldn't want a kid who can't run 2...

Are you saying Travis isn't real???? :eek: Noooooooooo! :sad: :crying: :thud:
