    don't ban jump cues, ban phenolic tips- ?

    I get ball in hand so many times because my opponent doesn't practice with their jump cue enough. That being said, during practice with a full length jump cue instead of a dedicated jump cue, sometimes (not too often) I'm able to get the ball to draw and make a stop shot. I'm sure those who...

    CSI/Predator Michigan Open (Men/Women) 10 Ball (21-24Sep)

    Would Matchroom and others put up as much money if it wasn't for Predator entering into the tournament business? Predator and Matchroom are taking two different approaches. From what I can see, Predator is taking the long game. Instead of PPV, all the CSI/Predator streams are free because...

    Chess Clocks in Tournaments?

    It can be programmed as an app. I'm not a fan of use up your entire 30 seconds whether you need it or not, as it rewards slow play.

    Chess Clocks in Tournaments?

    Chess clock could work for pool. My idea is start everyone off with 2 minutes, and every shot adds 30 seconds. Whatever you don't use is added back to the clock.

    Seybert's/Michigan Open - Anyone there?

    The event is sponsored by Predator, and produced by CSI. The arena has a parking garage. I've never encountered an admission fee at a CSI event. They're all free if you want to come and watch. Vendors vary from stop to stop. My favorite is Jude, Shaftmaster. You can't miss his booth for...

    CSI/Predator have two other Pro events in the same area. The Wisconsin Open was just held earlier in February this year, and next month we have the Ohio Open. All 64 spots for the Ohio open are filled. If these tournaments didn't draw out the players , why would CSI/Predator host 3...

    Referees needed for US Open in Atlantic City

    Last year's format they had referees and scorekeepers. Scorekeepers were let go after Day 3, as they reduced from 32 to 8 tables. From that point, the referees handled everything. On Day 3 you can choose to check out, or continue your stay with the hotel. The per diem stops, unless you...

    FargoRate robustness for "new" players

    Anything less than 200 games is not an established Fargo rating. You should continue to rely on existing handicaps (USAPL, ABCD, APA, Mhet' Vergera's Pro/Am tourn-house leagues), and known player ratings in the community to cross-check. We can't answer for Jennifer, Ambi, Jose Burgos, John...

    The Biggest Flaw of APA's Handicapping

    You do realize that 7 is the terminal handicap in APA 8-ball, meaning no matter how good you become (such as Shane level) they can't raise you. In my area, it takes as little as C+/B to become a 7. Those are hardly players you expect to run tables.

    The Biggest Flaw of APA's Handicapping

    I fully concur. Where I live, there are three to five APA league territories within driving distance. First one only offers APA 8-ball and no patches. 2nd offers Double Jeopardy (8-ball and 9-ball), patches, and qualifiers. 3rd offers all the above, plus Masters and Singles leagues, and they...

    The Biggest Flaw of APA's Handicapping

    APA Masters league isn't available in every APA league territory, as its up to the local league operator's discretion. Which is why you have lots of folks unaware, and based their experience and opinions thinking APA 8-ball is the only format APA offers. When in actuality, it's the only...

    Can I see your pool table lights?

    Predator Arena lights is also compatible with a whole slew of accessories that snap on like legos, such as score board displays, camera mounts, and wiring harnesses for no-fuss streaming. I was also told they're flicker free, and they don't have the light saber glare. The 3 year warranty, and...

    The Biggest Flaw of APA's Handicapping

    Talk to your LO about Super 30. It's an APA league format where the limit is 30, not 23. There is no road to Las Vegas, so in places where it's offered, its only offered as a cash league.

    The Biggest Flaw of APA's Handicapping

    My guess the cap is to keep compatibility, so league operators can offer the more lucrative double jeopardy format (playing both 8-ball and 9-ball). As I posted earlier, APA offers other league products such as Masters (no cap), and Super 30 (team cap of 30). In my short time playing in...
