Dammit, I forgot about spotting jumped balls.

I guess it depends why he was in jail. It certainly would be too good to be true if you had to worry about a violent felon showing up at your door looking for "his" cue.

Nothing ever spots in APA so player B would have no business being at the table. What if the cueball was on the spot? Then the eight should spot frozen to it on the line. It is impossible to foul when acting in an official capacity. Other player should get the choice to accept it as it lies...

Simply to maintain interest. Halfway through a session the final rankings are pretty much locked in. It is possible in a 14 week session, assuming 8 teams in a division that the #1 and 2 teams won't play each other after week 8 or one team will have a lock on 1st before they even meet their...

How about a format where the top N players are placed in a linear bracket. Then player N plays N-1, winner plays N-2 etc. until the last guy standing plays number 1 for first place. Season standing actually means something. The worst you can do is 1 place lower than you finished the season but...

If that doesn't work. Play his game. Try "no, how about $50". He gets his little piece of pride and can only follow with accepting or badgering you back up to $100. Otherwise it's him who looses the pride.

I wouldn't say it's full. Always room for one more.

First let me concur for the third time that changing format on the fly is a bad thing. That being said I just wanted to point out that no one is complaining that the total payout increased from the proposed $35k to $47k. Anyway, in a full 64 man DE a guy who loses in the fifth round on the...

I already acknowledged that changing the format after the fact is a foul. But I also fail to see anyone complaining about the actual payouts for 3rd through 16th place increasing when they went modified DE. Sure Earl and the other winners bracket final four didn't get a second chance at the...

I just looked at the 10ball bracket. I think this is a little overblown. Of the four guys who lost on the winners side in the final 16, all four lost their next match on the losers side. John Morra went 9-1 to win the tournament while SVB went "only" 7-1. Earl and the other winners side guy who...

If the format was changed mid stream then foul on the director. But otherwise you can just look at it as making-the-cut. Can you link to a diagram of the bracket? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

How many entrants, and how deep do the pay outs go? Double elimination at the start could help ensure that the top players don't go out on a fluke. But once you're "in the money" switching to single elimination kind of makes sense. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Can I ask what you paid for the blank cue balls? $20 isn't out of line for a good cue ball even unsigned. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I didn't read it that he meant he could do it on command after 30 days of practice. But rather that if he tried for 30 days straight somewhere in there between day 1 and day 30 he would have a string of 12 BNR in a row. I think you underestimate the number of tries one can get in in 30 days...

Defending champ should get free entry even if it was a fluke.

The odds of a 50% break and run artiste running his next 20 games is 1 in 1,048,576. Edited: looks like Chuck beat me to it.

BU vs Fargorate Do any of you who've taken the test have an established Fargorate as well. I'd like to see how well the two correlate.

In the south part of the Netherlands they play 8 ball on 6 footers with 8-9 cm pockets (3.15-3.5 inch pockets) and yes they have full size (57 mm/2.25 in) balls. Clusters galore, but I still averaged one BNR every week or so. Never saw more than a two pack in three years though.

SVB runs an 8-pack. But that's no Valley. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dee4fgxEC68

Yep, I find if I miscue on a draw shot it's usually because I tightened my grip on the last stroke.
