I always thought that paying up-front for the session just meant that the LO isn't constantly hunting down dues and it forces players to commit? Like... to avoid these situations. :) I would never assume that it entitled me (the player) to anything. If a person has to forfeit the last couple...

The player(s) who have dropped out have literally ended their involvement in the league. I don't see any reason to include them in the playoffs. My personal opinion is that -- whenever possible -- playoffs should not have BYEs. Either keep their names out of the hat or if you draw their...

I don't completely understand your situation, but I wouldn't enter his name. I assume you're at the end of the season so it's too late now, but this should be stipulated at the start of the season: To be eligible for playoffs, a player must play at least X matches. I don't know where X would...

Oh, dictionaries aren't supposed to dictate what words mean? In that case, you are wrong because peanut butter, swordfish flavor popsicle. Volvo spatula unicorn cipher. Pizza popcorn... butt bellybutton earlobe. Your example shows me that don't know what semantics are. Here, let me help...

Anyone who doesn't consider pool a sport is just choosing arbitrary lines and saying "this is a sport and that isn't." Let's ask Mr. Merriam and Mr. Webster what they think... It's just a semantic argument, anyway. Whether or not pool is a "sport" or pluto is a "planet" doesn't change a...

There are two rules I live by: 1. Never get involved in a land war in Asia 2. Don't read the comment section of online news articles. (You'd be surprised how often #1 comes up.)

With the announcement that 3 of 5 spots on Team USA will be filled based on achievement, do you think Team USA will be better (that is, have a better record) than the 2014 team? Here's a thread about the announcment: http://forums.azbilliards.com/showthread.php?p=5055299#post5055299

Does this mean our long national nightmare of tournaments without Shawn Putnam's participation has ended!? Thank God!

Another 8-ball drill: Roll out all stripes (or solids) and the 8-ball. Starting with the 8-ball,work backwards and plan your run-out. Take cue ball in hand and execute your plan. If you miss a shot or get bad position set it up a few times until you get it right a few times and move on...

AZ Billiards has a nice feature where you can search for players and see where they've been placing in events. In 2014 Corey was 11th on the AZB money list with $52,060. He had 18 top 10 finishes. http://www.azbilliards.com/people/45-corey-deuel/results/2014/

If you are keeping track of games (not points), you can use practice golf balls (basically tiny whiffle balls) on a string. You can even mix white and orange ones to delineate common races 5, 7, 11, etc.

Testing image attachment... Success.

Thin walls and neighbors. In the past, I have had some neighbors that would put the kibosh on this plan in a hurry.

After 10 minutes I didn't hear anything approaching a straight answer to anything (even "how are you") and turned it off. Listening to Barry Berhman is like trying to unravel the movie Primer

Whether it's an iffy shot in a hill-hill match or my first time to the table faced with a simple stop-shot, when I'm under pressure I think "good fundamentals." If I focus on my fundamentals (a) I'm not thinking about other things like missing or losing, (b) I'm giving the shot the best...

Finally got NAPA started again after the holidays. I needed 3 in a 7-3 race and won 3-2. I didn't need to do too much. For one of my wins, my opponent broke, the cue ball hopped straight into a side pocket and then we all watched the 8-ball meander in after it. More importantly, I think, is...

When is a good time to approach someone for an autograph? I go up to Turning Stone and I don't want to stop someone as they are going to a match because maybe it disturbs their preparation and I don't want to go up to someone who just lost and say "hey can you sign this".

My biggest pet-peeve in software development these days... how the f*** do you pronounce "xamarin"!?

He can beat up Chuck Norris!

It's a big table... if he doesn't walk fast he'll never finish the frame!
