    New Rating System

    FargoRate I totally agree. Everyone should be striving to improve pool. Fargo has way more value than just for gambling, or handicapping. This is the first real system that is based on past performance. that statistically improves with more data. I believe it will evolve to become the...

    Centennial

    http://forums.azbilliards.com/showthread.php?p=5397051#post5397051 FYI Pretty sure all 8' centennials were 46 x 92 playing surface. (Oversized 4 x 8) 90% of the people could not tell it from a 9' table - so it wont make a very good bar table! Mark Griffin

    How do division tournaments payout in your area?

    Divisions This thread points out many reasons why FargoRate is needed. Players will be playing among their peers. And teams can be within a range. And this would allow the players to know how they stand in relationship to all other players. Divisions such as A, B, C, or D Etc. Really mean...

    Pool Sharks in Vegas is Closing

    Straight pool Hi Dennis; This is the US OPEN STRAIGHT POOL CHAMPIONSHIP! This is the real one - so I think the prestige will be a draw. CSI is known to run professional no nonsense event. Everybody will get paid, and the promoter won't be making 'deals' with players concerning seeding. This...

    Pool Sharks in Vegas is Closing

    Pool halls and pool tables Teacher an has some good points, and I know he's familiar with American Rotation (American Billiard Club). It really could be the salvation of 9' play. But why aren't the players supporting the game and the package that Joe Ticker put together? We are actually paying...

    Website in Memory of Royce Bunnell

    Royce was one of a kind - in a very good way. He was extremely patient, thoughtful and forever giving of his time and energy to anyone who asked anything. The more I was around him, the more I liked him. We never did much 'hanging out and drinking or eating' but we talked quite often on the...

    Sweet deal on some spectator chairs from Costo

    Diamond makes a great single (or twin) spectator chair. Prices vary according to the wood you want. They are truly custom made. These are seen in most streamed events. US Open 9-ball, Mosconi Cup. All of CSI events etc. I would rather have everyone buy from a company that supports the pool...

    Where's the proof?

    Proof If I remember correctly, John Schmidt ran 403 at Q-Masters in front of many witnesses. I think he had just signed on with OB Cues and it was on either a Diamond or GC. I'm not sure of any other of his hi runs- but there has been plenty. Mark griffin
