I went to go play in a weekly barbox 8-ball tournament. Its a race to 1, double elimination. You lag for the break each match. I knew a couple of people from there, mainly because I play against them in the BCA every season. Most of the people at the tournament are bangers, but there were a...

I'll be there from the 18th until Sunday or Monday.

If you are down to one ball and your opponent has five or six balls on the table, if there is a chance to win on your inning, you need to go for it. Against a good player, trying to play safe in this situation is a guaranteed loss.

Jude, on older cloth that is worn, I would think that the draw shot break out would be easier to do, since the bottom spin would catch sooner. On newer cloth, since the ball is sliding longer, wouldn't that make drawing into it slightly more difficult? Just curious here, this has always been my...

Matt and Akira are two of the nicest guys you will ever meet, I was glad to hear they took 1st and 2nd. Matt has been one of my closest friends in the pool world for a long time.

All along I thought this guy Geno was selling nothing more than an aiming system, i.e. "AIM HERE LIKE THIS AND YOU WILL NEVER MISS!!!!". I was not aware that he is into issues such as dominant eye problems, etc. Anyone here had any experience with what he teaches, and did it help your game a...

Sounds like your stance had you too close to the cue ball. If I bend my bridge arm a lot and get really close to the cue ball, I get double vision also. If I lean slightly back in my stance, it increases my bridge length a little, but also puts my head back, and helps me sight better.

I have a rare James Bond cue, made by Sean Connery, signed by Roger Moore. Might be willing to sell it for $40,000

I lol'd at the first few posts

I mean just the BCA league event. I've been playing it for the past few years, but totally forgot what cue ball is used there. Thanks

I forget, are they using the measles ball, or was it a blue circle?

I'm guessing Valley is a sponsor of the APA? I've also heard of the bad conditions at the APA Nationals. When I play the BCAPL National every year, the Diamond tables that are set up play fantastic, or at least in my experience.

I probably was mistaken, but can you clarify-Do you mean you have a deadline to pay two weeks after winning the initial MVP tournament, two weeks after a player receives a notice of being DQ'd, or two weeks before the MVP regional event? Either way, do you not think it's fair that I should...

Scott, the LO's attitude on the phone with me wasn't terrible. She mentioned she was in a hurry when the person who answered told her who was calling and why. She sounded more like she had heard my story a million times before. Here is my big problem- They allowed me to either pay right when I...

Not so much that I'm upset with it, but it has always bothered me. Left a bad taste in my mouth. In light of that other topic about the APA, it reminded me of this situation. Thought I'd get everyone's opinion on it.

Agreed. It was my responsibility. But by principle, if they are gonna send me a letter in the mail saying I'm DQ'ed without warning, they should have sent a check for my $100 entry along with it. After I won the MVP tournament, the league director told me I could pay my $100 entry...

I was on a team for a few seasons playing only 8-ball as an SL7. I won the MVP title each season, and won the MVP tournaments a few times, losing in the regional. The last season I played, I won the MVP title again, went and won the MVP tournament again. The MVP regional tournament was 6 or 7...

This is strange, other people told me that since he did not call safe and pocketed a ball, I could have made him shoot again. Is this covered in the rule book?

The circumstances showed that there was no safe. He was down to his last ball, all of my balls were wide open. The carom was the only possible shot. He hit the shot hard, scattering several balls on the table. He acted as if he was getting ready to shoot again. The cue ball traveled three or...

In a league match tonight, my opponent broke, then ran all the balls down to his last ball, and partially hooked himself behind one of my balls. He couldn't see his ball enough to shoot it straight in, but he could see about half of his ball, and there was a possible carom off one of my balls...
