I wish BCAPL luck in finding the right format and schedule to bring the attendance up. Moving the tournament to March might bring back those that are not attending due to the July heat. However, the tournaments are going to lose folks with kids in school. Scheduling the tournament for the...

A lot of it is population density and the number of players available to support a pool hall financially. There may not be enough regular players within a reasonable driving distance to support a really large pool room. Western Europe is really pretty dense population wise compared to Texas...

They needed to do something considering the apparent drop-off in participation the last couple of years. I personally know a lot of players that did not like the July dates due to the heat in Vegas at that time. However, I imagine that there will be a quite a few players (myself included) that...

Yes, 13mm with the Original Southwest taper, which is a stiff shaft. However, that is my preference in a cue and I ordered it that way.

I never really paid much attention to the effect of slow players much until a few years ago, when I was playing in a 3 man league with 2 slow players. Both are good and would get out most of the time. Played with them for about 2 years. One of the slow players dropped out and we brought on...

I got this off the VNEA website. C. OPEN TABLE The table is “open” when the choice of groups (stripes or solids) has not yet been determined. When the table is open, it is legal to hit a solid first to make a stripe or vice versa. Note: The table is always open immediately after the break...

My R-1 has the slotted bolt and I am pretty sure it is aluminum.

I got on the list in April of 2003. My cue was finished and shipped in Jan 2015. The wait is not that bad. Just get on the list and go about your life, they will call you when your name comes up.

I own a couple of dozen cues. My favorite is my Southwest.

Southwest Andy Gilbert Rundy Era Schon Troy Downey In that order.

Pull the rubber bumper off it and see if the previous owner wrote their phone number on the bumper or left a tiny slip of paper with their information on it. Also, closely examine the case. If there is a number on it give it a call and ask if they have misplaced a cue. If there is no number or...

Been here since 2005.

He has a system. However, it is in his head. Every time he walks around the table and figures out a bank or kick shot he uses it. More than likely, he has done it so many times all or most of the calculations and adjustments are done subconsciously.

Actually none. In all the leagues I play in, the only people that I know well enough to make a call if they are an alcoholic or not, either don't drink or drink sparingly.

Freddie, When you check those tips. Are you testing for hardness and dimensional consistency? If you are testing the hardness, are you using a durometer or some other device?

I use a baseball equipment bag. It has a compartment for bats that my hard case fits in and the rest has enough room for several days worth of clothes.

I may be in the minority, but I happen to like the move to July. The reason being is that I still have a kid in school, but do not have any relatives in town for them to stay with if me and my wife go out of town. With the July date, we can drop the kid off with relatives for a week in July...

Coffee in the tournament room cost $3.21 for a cup of coffee. That was not the biggest price gouge. I feel most ridiculous was that they were charging over 2 bucks for a banana. I found the tournament staff and refs to be friendly and professional.

:thumbup:I am a runner also and have had PF in both feet at various times. The Strassburg sock worked well for me also.
