    The SPF National Pool School Tour

    Hi Scott, Hope all is well! Actually, I was curious about Tommy being a touring pro on the PBT and Camel tours. I've never heard of him and was curious if he was a touring pro player I didn't know about? Then again, he could have been one of the many amateurs that used to jump in those Camel...

    Three Ko Brothers Playing at the International 9-Ball Open

    Are you sure about this? I think it might not be completely accurate. You might be thinking of China. While there are youth elective courses in school (junior high/high school), I've don't think they have State sponsored academies? From what I understand, the government used to give stipends...

    APA screwed our very own sleinen out of a national championship

    Like I said, i gave hard facts, when the lynch mob was making assumptions. There really wasn't much opinion, good or bad, in my posts. Also, I dont know if you are a 100 ball runner or not. I didnt bring it up, I just questioned it. No worries. Eric

    APA screwed our very own sleinen out of a national championship

    Not sure why you singled out my comment. In fact, my contributions to this thread were to get the facts straight and un-lynch the lynch mob. You might have missed one of my posts where I already said, what you just said, in the first paragraph (above)...

    Three Ko Brothers Playing at the International 9-Ball Open

    I'm more familiar with the Taipei area and Kaohsiung. Taichung City should have pool halls, I'm sure. It a metro area. I guess my point is that Taiwan is not a Pool crazed country like the PI, for example. It's not close. For that matter, an argument can be made that Pool is more popular...

    Three Ko Brothers Playing at the International 9-Ball Open

    Ok, I'll give you that; the actual poolplayers are more cognoscenti than ours. As far as the overall population, Pool is more of a subculture sport, imo. It's not like a large part of the population follows Pool or are fans. Pool rooms aren't everywhere. In fact, once you leave Taipei or...

    APA screwed our very own sleinen out of a national championship

    Cory in DC said it best. Ratings/skill level can vary a good bit, depending on the level of play of the local players. If you have stronger players at the top, then your 6's will not get to be 7s, even though they would be 7s in a weaker area with no one to beat up on them (in a nutshell)...

    APA screwed our very own sleinen out of a national championship

    It's common for things to get questioned, especially if something sounds out of line. It doesn't have to be viewed as some kind of attack. Regarding my post about someone stating that Sean was a 100 ball runner, that doesn't line up with my expectations of a non sandbagging APA SL6 and a...

    APA screwed our very own sleinen out of a national championship

    Im just surprised that a non sandbagging APA 6 (in 8 ball) and an unofficial Fargorate of 534...is a 100 ball runner. Of course, I could be wrong, wouldn't be the first time... Eric

    APA screwed our very own sleinen out of a national championship

    Not trying to single you out but... -Sean Leinen did not play or have any affiliation with the DQ'd team (otehr than being friends) -Sean only has an 8 ball rating (SL6) but that has no bearing on this because he was not in the 9 Ball event -Sean was not screwed, hosed or even squirted on...
