I think you're right. Its a stupid question.

New Britain is 10 minutes from me. 96supersport is spot on with his recommendations. Shooters in Southington is most well known and best of all IMO. Also two miles from my house. :) Yale Billiards in Wallingford is one he didn't mention which is a bit further. Don't waste your time with Big...

This is same for APA rules. Must be in the act of stroking the ball.

Isn't that a given? We do that every match. This past week we beat our opponent 12-1 in 8B and we were pissed. It shoulda been 14-1 :eek:

12.75mm tip

Top 5 easy. Likely top 2 behind Shane IMO but he is far and away #1 on the list of top d-bags in the sport.

Landon is 19 right now

I like Landon Shuffett's game better than Skylar's personally.

I prefer your other avatars. :thumbup: Good luck tonight.

Thats BS. Where was your team captain while all of this was going on? Our's would have never let that happen. Our matches are scheduled to start at 7pm. As a team we have agreed that we will abide precisely by the APA rulebook which gives until 15 minutes past designated start time to begin...

I agree. The only reason to read her/his threads was the comments. I have zero desire to read the blog.

The only time limits I've ever seen enforced in APA are the 2 minute coaching timeouts during the division qualifier tournaments. And even then they are only loosely monitored by the other team unless there has been a blatant disregard for them.

Well that's your call. Sounds like selfishness on the part of your captain not to respect your wishes though. I would've said sorry, I'm out. See ya. Hope it works out for you or at least improves some.

Impressive shot. Too bad he blew the rack.

Thats BS. Don't understand how you would allow that to happen. This can't be an APA league as this would be a forfeit.

I can't imagine playing in a league or on a team that I didn't enjoy being around. Regardless of whether I play first or not I always stay until the last match is over. As part of a team I believe it is my obligation that I signed up for when I agreed to play on the team. If I "didn't want to...

Yes except that we only have long sessions and they vary anywhere from 14 to the current 18 week session and 10 teams. Top 3 teams and a wildcard team at end of session play in playoffs to go to tri-cups. I thought it was just the top team that goes. May be top two. Winners at tri-cups go to...

Well why change the game? The obvious way to stop that from happening is to play 10 Ball. I do agree thats a frustrating way to lose a hill-hill match. I get aggravated just the same when my opponent seems to get all the rolls and I don't in my APA 8 Ball matches.

Probably has more to do with bar tables and not being able to get the ball back without dropping more quarters

The only woman on our team prefers me to give her coaching for her timeouts. She says I am able to "dumb it down" better than the Co-Captain can. However, one thing that is glaringly clear is that KNOWING which shot to try and EXECUTING the shot are two completely different things. She is not...
