    How do the BB alternates do it?

    Here is a breakdown. The way the alternates work is that they are paid the per match wage of the player they are playing in place for (approx 1k) most teams play 2 matches in a weekend when they play so an alternate coming in to play will play twice most likely. The way the prize money works...

    I Love POOL. Stories of how you get sucked in?

    I was roommates in college with Nathan Dumoulin, at the time (2005) he was writing and filming Mastering Pool (Originally with Alex Pagulayan) in his spare time. I didn't really follow pool just banged around out bars when I was out having some drinks. A couple of years passed after college and...

    Ultimate 10-Ball Adds More Money

    We specifically scheduled so that all of our players could not only attend but have significant travel time to arrive and return from this event. I have no doubts that this event will fill up in both divisions. I am also confident that most if not all players on a WPBL roster will be attending...

    He does them live every Sunday at 5:00PM Central time. I think this is a real bright spot for pool, it would be great if other people would emulate this type of thing. you can find all the archived episodes at www.dsmithpool.com

    Bonus Ball starts May 30th

    This should help. Mark, I am in charge of making the schedule for the WPBL. We are doing our best to work with the players wishes as far as scheduling around tournaments. We have even moved some days around and made some changes since the schedule was posted in this very thread by user "Bogus...

    Bonus Ball starts May 30th

    Sorry to clarify, this is directed at the full time players. Each team is comprised of 3 full time players and 2 alternates. I believe the issue at hand is the full time players missing the other promoters tournaments. We do give them the option to play in other tournaments as long as the spots...

    Pool Time Radio Show

    Very Impressed. I Got a chance to catch this show live today on Tune In radio. I must say it was very pleasant to listen to. I also found it refreshing to hear someones viewpoint from a neutral perspective without having their own agenda. Both hosts were well spoken, professional and played off...

    Bonus Ball starts May 30th

    Interesting..... What if you could come to Vegas go see a live pool "show" featuring the best players in the World, in an arena with cushy seats while having a beer and some popcorn surrounded by lights and entertainment and showgirls. What if you could even gamble on this at the same time...

    Explaination of Bonus Ball

    What is great about the format of the matches is that each player plays in a total of 5 games per match but only one of those games is a singles match. The team aspect comes into play in every game as all players are sitting at the team bench beside the table for the entire match and coaching is...

    Explaination of Bonus Ball

    StraightpoolIU definition is actually quite close. The game is a point scoring game rather than ball elimination game you start on the purple ball which is worth one point after successfully making it you then qualify to shoot at the orange which is worth two points, once doing this you then...

    Is Charlie Williams the most powerful man in pro-pool?

    Although I don't agree with your "only in America" view, I definitely think you are missing Badi Nazhat (Ultimate 10 Ball) off this list. I've spent the last few weeks trying to prepare the upcoming WPBL schedule by asking the players which events they want to attend the most and the hands down...
