Pedro's match today with Mazin Shooni - Pedro finishes 40 points in 8 innings. The scoreline was: 14 - 0 - 13 - 0 - 2 - 0 - 1 - 10 Unbelievable!

Doug Deitel has indicated that he is having extreme problems because of the low bandwidth at the room. Streaming is fractional at best. He is, however, recording some matches so that we can make it available afterwards.

We are starting to see some changes in the landscape. We have some players who are on the way up such as Edward Gomez, Allen Castillo, Sergio Hernandez, Tony Ferrara as well as some locals in Houston such as Thanh Vu, Cong Nguyen, Joel Rivera, Kim Hoang and others. There are also some rising...

I already saw at least 3 upsets. John, what happened to Lupe? I thought for sure he was coming.

Jim Shovak is home with his wife who just got released from the hospital. Charles Brown and Merrill Hughes are running the tournament. Charles is playing to even out the field at 42 players.

If the Nationals is streamed, it will be on Saturday and Sunday. I will post more info as I receive it. If streamed, the link is here: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/dogloose-ch1

As per a person's request, attached is a list of all known NY Rooms. Some of them may not be up-to-date so I suggest calling first. In the future, go to: www.USBA.net click "Play 3C" at the top and then choose "3 Cushion Room Finder". You can filter by your criteria.

No they are not.

BBB, I use the standard diamond system to figure out banking points. I don't use a no-English system at this time. You are also asking very specific and very difficult questions which require a long and thorough explanation and actually in order to "master" these things, you need to experiment...

BBB, I am not very good at such calculations. That's why I seek alternative shots. However, there are systems for these type of shots. My suggestion would be to look through the Tuzul systems: http://carombil.files.wordpress.com/2012/02/billar-tuzul.pdf

Sorry, Bert. Only expressing what he told me.

Mike, right now I go to cuetable.com and then click on the option for the 3C diagram on the right side. I don't know what is needed except maybe Adobe Shockwave Player.

For example, I believe that Torbjorn Blomdahl will practice on a table before a match and will practice making very thin hits. If he is having too much difficulty, he will try a different shaft with either slightly more deflection or slightly less deflection based on the difficulty he is facing...

From what I know, the top players will frequently change their shafts based on table condition.

Averages would be a basic guideline: 1.000+ = A+ .850-.999 = A .700-.849 = B+ .550-.699 = B .400-.549 = C+ Below .400 = C

Actually, I would like there to be a new category called "A+" which would represent the big boys: Pedro, Mazin, Miguel, Hugo, etc. And the current "A" category would represent such players as George Ashby, Carlos Hallon, Lupe Cruz, etc.

Very interesting article. However, what I am really interested in is getting myself one of those cue-nique 980 computers!

Apparently it is a foul, but the end result is simply a do-over.
