    Virtual pool 4

    I'm definitely not raggin' on VP. I think it's the best franchinse of games that's been out. I played VP3 incessantly years ago. I am long awaiting the arrival of VP4! I certainly do appreciate the work the dev has done and the great product that he has made. I just think it stinks that...

    Seeding Could Be Hurting Streaming #'s

    I haven't seen much complaining. That is just your perspective on the feedback in this thread. No one that I have seen is complaining about the streams or complaining about how it's run. What we are doing is offering up information as the consumer as to how we feel the experiene can be...

    Call of Duty is decent Halo is decent Forza Motorsport 4 is decent Grand Turismo is decent Gears of War is decent Dirt (the whole series) is decent The list of "decent" games goes on and on and on. The development that goes into pool games is ....well, generally not. But I'll check out your...

    Virtual pool 4

    I have been following and awaiting the arrival of the game. I'm not sure if it's ever really going to happen. It was supposed to be launched over the summer and still no game. I can't help but think that the game is a direct representation of the pool industry....half assed one man operation...

    Seeding Could Be Hurting Streaming #'s

    Watching 6 matches a day when 100's were played....Do you really feel you "watched" the US Open? I think more options to watch more matches would be better. I obviously paid so I can watch the matches, but if you want broader appeal, this isn't going to work. I don't feel that I've really...

    Seeding Could Be Hurting Streaming #'s

    I have to agree with this point. I paid for the whole week and while I'm enjoying watching, I'm missing 95% of the event. $60.00 to watch a few matches a day is a little weak. I know that it's a great service that they provide, but if this is going to get into being something great, it's...

    Seeding Could Be Hurting Streaming #'s

    This is a good question. Is the US Open seeded? I agree, I probably won't watch the PPV until later in the week if it's seeded. I was going to buy the whole week, but what's the point of watching massacre after massacre?

    TAR 22: Earl Strickland vs Shane Van Boening. December 2,3,4 in the TAR Studio

    Is the price going to be the same to watch half the action and 3/4 the race?

    BCA Sandbag Q's??? Mark?? Anybody?

    I think that people are imagining your play for something that it isn't. I assume you guys aren't just walking up to the table and playing safe every time you get up. Otherwise, you'd never win, never get out and never back to Vegas. If however you have decided that the reason you lose to...

    It says it's in fair condition...

    In all fairness, it says "slate in fair condition" and it might very well be. It doens't say excellent condition. I'd actually bet the slate is just fine.

    Don't Clean Balls For A TAR Match?

    I agree that it's likely about consistency. If you were going to play a shorter race like race to 7 or 11 or something "normal" cleaning the balls between matches makes a lot of sense. You get consistency between tables and all matches are equal. But if you clean them at some point during a...

    Without The Cupcakes, There's Not That Much To Eat

    I don't have any problem at all with tournament directors/organizers decideing to seed their tournaments. When you put up $25k in the prize pool you get to decide what happens. Anybody wants to piss and moan about it can be shown the door. I hate the entitlement mentality that a lot of these...

    When to tell a player he is on 2....

    I don't really see the problem. My opponent commits a foul, I take bih, I play safe, I turn around to him as he's approaching the table and say "you have two fouls". Not very complicated although I have always found it really stupid. I don't know why I have to tell my oponent at all...

    awesome free live stream for u.s. open

    ^^^^^ I read this to say: despite all of the years it's been around, the billiards community, the people around it, the players, the sponsors, the product developers and everyone else involved in the game can't get their shit together? Sounds about right.

    Copying a Live Stream

    I don't know of anything free, but there are zillions of them out there that can do it. I know Snag-It does that sort of thing, but it's $49.00 or something. I haven't looked into it in awhile.

    Would you buy an Olhausen pool table?

    If you are patient you can find a gold crown in good shape these days for $600-$1000. It's really not a high price to pay for such a great table. The economy is in the crapper, people are losing the homes that used to have the space for their tables, and oh yeah, pool's popularity has nose...

    awesome free live stream for u.s. open

    Well, @ $40 you might have me. I wasn't sure of the price, I just knew I wasn't willing to pay $60. I'm hoping for great things this year!

    awesome free live stream for u.s. open

    I'll be paying for TAR for the weekend. $35 for a this matchup that's been well promoted and well produced? I can hardly resist. If they bumped it up to $60, I'd be out. Netflix bumped their price too high and look what's happening to them right now. The right price is key.

    awesome free live stream for u.s. open

    I'd love it if if my local pool hall did that and I would definitely support that. I'll check out the individual day costs, it's plausible that this is the solution. I don't necessariliy need to see ALL of the days, but definitely a few. Does Accu-Stats offere a subscription based service so...
