2016 Arizona8ball championship Chris & Lyn, A small state or regional championship is a lot different than a national event. I assure you, we have given our course a LOT of thought - and we feel the long term gains far outweigh the short term pains. The FargoRate system will allow (for the...

Morro is one of a kind. I've heard stories for years about his playing around the San Diego area. Eventually he ended up in LA and I watched him play several times. Very entertaining. great attitude. and a SHARP dresser! I met him the first time at one of the Reno Sands events around 1988 or...

pool hall in my hick town. Steve, Please check to see if those are Centennial tables. My gut says NOT. (To refresh, the centennial was aluminum aprons and corners - in an art deco style. Mark g

Training facility Congratulations and good luck, John. Mark Griffin

Mosconi and politicos Angel, Doubt Obama does much - so ask Trump. Here are my thoughts - he's got the balls to show up. He needs to know about 35-40 million people play pool in the US - and they cross all walks of citizens. If it ever did happen - pool could get an audience of millions of...

How many have made pro from AZB? Johnnyt - You're funny. The 20 'know it alls' will never make it - lol. Anyone with a lot of negativity usually leaves no space left for excellence (and creativity). Mark Griffin

Jam- Thanks a lot for this info, I looked at every picture - those old houses have their own 'style' - except the picture of the bathroom - It was just UGLY! Made me think of that era. Fun times. Markg

Send Mike Wong to the US Open CSI was very happy to help sponsor Mike Wong in this year's event. Good job sir. You gave it a good try, your played hard, and held up your end of the deal. Congratulation!!!!! Mark Griffin

It becomes a 'slippery slope' when switching players on a chart, or in any way affecting who plays which opponent. IF any player withdraws (before the event starts) - for any reason (accident, illness etc). that spot needs to go to the next name on the waiting list. Otherwise you can get into...

Ah yes, another person who thinks they know the situation. This is info from 18 months ago. What is wrong with you guys - don't have enough creative constructive things to occupy your mind. Next time try posting your real name - and obviously, if you want to have a real meaningful discussion...

You sir obviously do not know all the facts - and that was a completely different situation. Wow. Mark Griffin

Unfortunate situation. Jay did the right thing - The rules must be enforced on everyone equally - no favoritism. Not sure how this could be allowed to happen. It is wrong on so many levels. (If a player could be ''allowed' to enter late, it has to go to the next name on the waiting list)...

Mike, Just hang in there - take no prisoners. Wishing you the best Mark Griffin

send Mike Wong to US Open Way to go Mike. One down and 9 more to go! Mark Griffin

Jb vs Lou John (and phil), I agree totally - there are a couple of posters that would be 'voted off the island' real fast if I had the hammer. Too many posters post nothing positive. Difference of opinion is healthy. I also think the previous thread should have been left alone. I was suprised...

I expect this book to come to fruition - and I expect it will be a very good read. Jam, Please put me down for a signed copy as well. Not sure what the galley version you are talking about, but I would also like to acquire one of that version. Ignore the peanut gallery. Most of them are all...

Brunswick anniversary I think tHat 'thing' is a talc holder. Talc used to be made in several cone shapes - some tapered and some not. Players would 'swipe' their hand over the cone. Years ago, talc was in just about all pool rooms. Good luck - this model of table is very cool. Have fun fixing...

Bergman vs Shaw Bergman is 788 Shaw is 792 Fargo rating Basically a 'pick-em'. Statistically should be 80-78 Shaw. But in a heads up, a few rolls can change the outcome. Should be a good match. Is it winner break or alternate break? Either way, I pick Shaw by a smidge!!!! Mark Griffin
