I like Albin's commentary. EDIT: My god the skids over the past two days. Brutal.

AZB Pocket Pool World Championship Toughest field ever for pocket pool here.

I got a signed copy after reaching to Dick Abbott a few years ago - I suggest seeing if he has any additional copies floating around. I reached out to him here and he got back to me fairly quickly. http://www.billiardcue.com/

No shame in losing to Dennis. Losing to Karl though . . . 😂

Shane played one great set and one not great set on the TV table. The set that Niels lost against Szolnoki is about the worst pool I've seen Niels play. Lot's of unexplained misses. Hoping he can shake it off - big fan of Niels and I'd like to see him take down a big one.

Pretty classy post from Cuetec - no hard feelings and all well wishes. From their FB: "It’s a bitter sweet day for Team Cuetec. Today we sadly say goodbye to Fedor Gorst as he leaves the Cuetec Pro Team to seek new challenges and opportunities, but today we also celebrate and smile, remembering...

Hey Mike - is there an early bird special to purchase the PPV like in years past? I'm less concerned about the special and more interested in knowing when I can buy the PPV.

I was wondering more of what they say the ban covers (only "national, continental, and global" events are mentioned, no mention of state or local events, and as far as I know none of the words are defined anywhere) rather than whether an event is eligible for WPA sanction. Again, this is me...

I started to think that was hard to square with the ultimatum the WPA put out. On closer look though the statement says: If you compete in non-WPA events that were eligible for WPA sanction, then you are banned from "further participation in events on a national, continental, or global level...

I’m gonna guess Predator is also probably reviewing it’s relationship with the WPA given how much of their purse contributes to the WPA budget compared to what they get in return, and now with a possible diluted field as you pointed out. WPA can’t ban *everyone*.

I also haven't looked into it beyond the contents of this post, but I think there's an easier case to be made for SVB sitting at #2 in what appears to be a 2-year aggregate period, which would include his World Title (WNT Ranking), rather than at 37th, sitting behind the likes of Jan van Lierop...

Right! But here, the WPA was like "I bet I can take on this iceberg, heh" and drove right into it on purpose, arguing that doing so was the for good of the passengers. I guess if they find themselves out of a job they can look forward to a long successful career as politicians.

That’s kinda how I see it too. WPA seemed to have seen itself as having some kind of legitimacy crisis and rather than adopt a “big tent” approach they went nuclear. WPA put out two statements. The other statement touted a ~$5MM prize fund, a huge portion of which came from a single Heyball...

I can understand this point and agree with it in principle, but WPA apparently has no other way to enforce their authority over the management/oversight of the game except to use player eligibility to participate in events and receive other benefits as leverage. How WPA put's teeth in its bite...

I'm in sell mode having just paid off the remainder of my student loans in one lump sum. But if the right cue at the right price comes along I'm always interested. Kids, mortgage, car payments, etc. It piles up and gets hard to justify more cues.

And as Karl said: kudos to the table mechanic.

The next gizmo: The Retardo Rack. Guaranteed slug every time.

https://forums.azbilliards.com/threads/full-splice-vs-regular-cues.393689/ I had a Hercek that I traded for a Gina. Very different cue making philosophies behind those two cues. Both cuemaking legends. Both played awesome, well constructed, fanatical attention to detail, etc. One guy used...

No - final day gotta pay
