Couple more views -- iphone pics look fine on my phone LOL

I stumbled on this cue seems to be a Viking VM9 but with extra rings apparently -- or just a different model year from the ones I have seen online and in the Blue Book. No logo on it that I can see. It has the usual small signs if wear but hits solid and rolls pretty good on the table. I would...

Thanks for the corrections and added names, the ones you all gave me should be updated now. Here's a few more: 1653 0616 0668 0691 0721 0730 1073

Thank you -- he has a name attached now. Cool story John!

I have finished uploading a ton of DCC tournament photos to a gallery here: http://www.poolinaction.com/2015/DCC/2015-Tournament-Photos I tried to label the players, but there are a dozen or two that I do not know who they are. Your help would be appreciated. You will probably be able to...

With the oversized ball diameter and going that far back in time, I wonder what the official game was that they are talking about -- American 4-ball??I think I have an old ivory set of 4-balls (two red and two white) and they are not that big though... I had the pleasure of interviewing George...

It's not like it's an illegal gambling award -- it's for "action and entertainment", and if anything was made clear by all the publicity regarding extra curricular gambling at DCC this year, the one kind of money game they did not seem to have a problem with was the two-man tournaments that Ray...

There was standing room only for every match that came through Ray's room. The room is not that big, but still we are talking 30 or more people watching all the time. That's not much different from the number of sweators around any one table in the action room, in fact often if you counted all...

Although the award has only gone to players so far, Greg was always clear it could go to a player a stakehorse or other person that made things happen in terms of action/entertainment. I know John Mars got serious consideration one year.

It's an honor, whether or not it is a $$ benefit -- however, as someone posted below Greg was providing a room for the winner, and I assume that is still true even with the changes to the award. To vote send an email to Freddy Agnir, who coordinates the award: LouieRobertsAE@gmail.com Whoever...

If you were at the Derby then please consider voting -- whether for Ray or whoever your preference is. It's a nice honor and great that Greg does it and let's show Greg our support by voting!! LouieRobertsAE@gmail.com

I think this is the perfect year to give the award to the guy that brings together the most action for our entertainment over the last few years, and that is Ray 'Big Truck' Hanson. Without him, and with the recent heavy shadow of "no betting, no gambling" cast over the DCC we would have been...

Bingo -- too busy taking it all in! There is no substitute for being there.

Thank you Freddy! Yeah, it worked out amazingly well with the special Greg Sullivan award, being truly a surprise. It helped that Marshall 'Squirrel' Carpenter was in the house so as Greg's suspicions mounted prior to the dinner there was a plausible alternate to confuse the question. The...

I hope all of you guys who are coming to Derby City will plan to come to the One Pocket HOF dinner on Tuesday night, January 27. This year we are going to have a tribute to 'Freddy the Beard' along with one surprise 'Lifetime Pool in Action' award, so even though we are not doing any new player...

Just last night, my opponent made this on me. I had kicked softly at the 3-ball hoping to hide the 3 behind the 7, but I left the right edge of the 3 exposed. It was 10-ball and they had to call their shot, and it went perfectly. The good thing was it didn't cost me anything because it was a...

And just to be clear, if you make a ball for your opponent, it ONLY comes up if you either pocket scratch or the cue ball comes off the table -- for other fouls (such as double hits, pushes, etc), the ball stays down for the opponent (but is treated as a foul for the shooter of course).

You'd likely be seen as a dick or sharking if you called it froze every shot. Player B is trying to duck the rule imho.

Yeah, I wondered about that too. Especially since I am kind of older, and do like to play for a little :grin:

Sorry to hear that. My cue is in my car most days too. One time years ago I did get my car broken into. However, I got very lucky -- they obviously were looking for quick cash -- they cleaned out my change tray and rifled the glove box, but my cue case was still lying there on the floor...
