Tom Simpson I'm deeply saddened by this terrible news. He was always upbeat with a positive outlook. I wish his family the best. RIP Mark Griffin

LeRoy Kinman He used to fly to Alaska and play in the 14.1 state tournaments. He was retired military or national guard Etc. A real gentleman and nice player. Haven't heard his name for a few years.... SJM- thank you for your comments. I agree. I still think this HOF is an insult to the real...

Pics Try alfie Taylor, Bill Porter, Mary kennisten.

USBTC in vegas The USBTC moved from Reno because the hotel decided they wanted to substantially raise room rates plus eliminate most of the benefits of having it there. It came as a shock to us and caused us a lot of issues finding another venue. This change in the Grand Sierra Resort's plan...

Us open at CSI I'm not sure what you are saying, could you please explain? Mark Griffin

Us open events All your comments are welcome- but so many of the statements and assumptions assumptions are wrong. Every year this is discussed. It is totally impractical to hold 9' events. The table transportation and light hanging costs far exceed $1,000 per table. The PPV for 9' tables is...

bump for the cause

Thank you Mike Page. Fargo will correct the problem of having 'player's committees' - that is the key, and in a few years all the nay sayers will be using Fargo. Fargo is based on data - not opinions. It is a rating tool, not a handicapping system. But once the data is stabilized, the...

posting There was a thread about why people post less now than previous years. I said because of all the negativity. I firmly believe that. There are a few posters that just cant wait to jump on everything I say or do. I don't really care but it does become aggravating. I post a lot less...

Amateur leagues In ALL amateur leagues, there has always been a serious problem - as a player gets 'bumped up' to the next level, they quit coming to the nationals. This is not just the BCAPL. VNEA has almost eliminated their master play. And we have also cut way back. Around 8-12 years...

9' vs 7', I'll tell what. If you think 9' pool is such a great attraction, why not do some events? I've been in the pool industry for a lot of years. I grew up on 9' tables. But facts are facts. The amount of pool played on 7' table is MANY times that played on 9' tables. You make it sound...

I'm not going to get into a big pissing contest with anyone here, but it is common knowledge that 7' events get better coverage than 9'. TAR had similar stats - which I am sure are available to someone (not me) who knows how to access them. I remember the 10 top matches. I think 9 were on a 7'...

9' tables BeiberLvr, I'm sure Jay and the rest of the team will do fine in the commentary and production. The precision on a 7' table is more critical than on a 9' table. Some of the matches were very exciting. I'm not trying to be argumentative, but viewership is ALWAYS much higher on 7'...

Griff's opening Hoping for September 1st. More info coming to our website! Www.Griffslv.com. Employment application can be filled out on that site. Looking for all positions. Want strong management team. Mark Griffin

Ivory Interesting- thank you.

And the winner is--- I refrain from posting very often because of the constant negative posts and posters. I do read AZB most days, but usually don't respond. There is a difference between discussing a topic, disagreeing on a topic, and being mean, nasty and spiteful . Most of the time, the...

Straight pool I'm sorry but your facts are wrong. The US OPEN STRAIGHT POOL CHAMPIONSHIP (played at Pool Table Magic located in Windsor Locks, Ct), was played on gold crowns. There were several good reasons for holding it there. It is 5 minutes from an international airport, hotel rates were...

FargoRate One stroke- Everyone who reads AZBilliards knows you don't like Fargo, however please post real facts. Fargo is used in conjunction with CSI (BCAPL and USAPL). I'm pretty sure the example you are using of a team going to nationals 10 times, is probably an APA situation. In BCAPL, any...

FargoRate The Daniel Busch shown in Fargo only has 22 games. Not enough information to tell anything. He is also from Wisconsin-not sure its you ............. I don't believe you are a 518 - but you might convince me you're a 'total donkey' - j/k Markg

Number 41 and 20 Thanks for the chance......
