Willie- Nice looking spray booth! That's something similar to what I've been designing. I already have a spray booth w/exhaust, but don't have it set up to rotate or hold cues- just a big box! Looks good! Zim

Just curious... How many of you (pool rooms) have a full pro shop- merchandise sales, cue repairs, instructor, etc? For those of you that do- is it financially beneficial? For those of you that do not- why not? If you do not have a pro shop due to financial investment, would it be profitable...

Thanks Mark for the directions and comments about this event, it is getting popular... 43 last year and about the same or more this year! OHH... nice little plug the the Sat. Singles Tourney, "for those not playing the the Lenjo's Team Tournament"... always advertising for some pool tournament...

Easy there... I will be there, hopefully early! This always a fun tournament to play in, sort of a players of he past reunion taken over by the players of the present! Zim

I am not a room owner, yet, but it's in the works. I do promote leagues and tournaments in several pool rooms in the St. Louis/Metro East area and have come to one conclusion: "Most" pool room owners are lazy and want everything for nothing. They don't want to spend a dime to make a quarter...

Did I read right, this is 8' for the DCC, correct? The others will be 4', and how much will they weigh (apprx)? How much does this one weigh? I'm going to be at the DCC the first weekend, I'll find you! Thanks, Zim

Jacob- You would be a perfect fit for "My PBC"! Anyone can join thru our Membership Application Process (once we get things going). Did I mention FREE pool Monday-Thursday, hourly Fri-Sun. Leagues will be Mon-Thurs and tournaments Fri-Sun! We will talk more at Baxters! Thanks, Zim

I belonged to a PBC when I lived in Germany... fantastic concept and good times while there! I've formed a Board of Directors in my current area and we are in the process of opening "My PBC", a Private Billiards Club for members and temporary members only! Our goal is 10- 7' tables, 1- Snooker...

I've searched all over for a list and can't find one either... would be nice! Zim

Someone stated that "the APA has put more into pool..." I believe they have opened the doors for beginning pool players and encourage the higher level players to sandbag, thus giving the lower players a false sense of their actual skill and holds the higher level players at their current level...

It looks like I will be coming to DCC this year, along with Danny Deiters (DAN D on forum). We will be there 22nd-23rd and it's our first time at DCC! Hopefully there's an Az Room! Thanks and looking forward to meeting/playing other! Zim

No apology required Travis... my rep speaks for itself (as well as other forum members, lol) There are many leagues available to players, each with variations of rules, format and fees! I know where you were playing at, no need to say it! As a matter of fact, this thread was brought to my...

We use a modified BCA set of rules! Travis, you should get on one of our league teams! Zim

Travis. A few questions for you: 1) Where were you at when this happened? 2) Who was running the tournament? 3) Who was your opponents that screwed you? Zim's Rack League is no where close to the APA when it comes to rules, format and fees! We are a very unique league and are proud of it. No...

How would you put a price tag on an established pool league or a pool tour (if it were for sale)? I know that leagues (APA, VNEA, TAP, BCA) have been sold/bought before, but wasn't sure how to put a sale price on them. Any thoughts? Zim

Zims Rack Leagues... Danny Deiters and I have our own league, Zim's Rack 8-Ball League! We've been growing since 2005 and now in our 4th year have 33 teams total. Our Winter session had 31, current Spring session has 33 teams. Our Annual League Championship will have the top 16 teams from each...

Dan and I are working on a much smaller scale than the larger leagues/tours, but still take money out of our pockets to fund various events and reimburse little by little thru donations, sponsorships, smaller tournaments... plus the pleasure of organizing and offering our players quality and...

Mark- No corrections necessary in my post! I mentioned the BCA in a list of leagues that we have competed in and won in. No where do I mention any leagues when I'm referring to "raping" the players! Two seperate paragraphs! Zims Rack 8-Ball League: Player Membership (per session): $5.00 Player...

Randy- Danny has been the League Operator and Tournament Director for Zim's Rack 8-Ball League and the Gateway Amateur Tour since 2005, when we started both of them. He has ran over 120 tournaments for us in 3.5 years and probably half that before we even started the league and tour. ALL...

This is an amazing "case" thread... thanks to the case makers contributing and sharing their knowledge! It's priceless!!! I'm in the process of building a custom case for myself, thinking an 8x16 (6 forsale and my 2 personal cues). I've got some great ideas and a pretty good understanding of...
