Found some more info... it is a non ranking event. But has a lot of added money! WPBA Bike Week Showdown

I am in the Laconia area actually — about a half hour south of there. The Balsams I know of is way up at the top of NH — one of the old grand hotels. I stayed there one night about 40 years ago 😁😁

I wonder how they determined the partners. Seems like pretty good money up for grabs, so players would care about who their partner is…

No WPBA fans today?

Happens to be coming to my neighborhood next week, at Winni Bar & Billiards in Laconia NH. What’s the idea behind this format? Seems to be 16 players established partners with good added money. Will the players be mic’ed? Why this format I wonder… Anyway I’ll stop by (with camera of course)...

I spoke to soon about the readable pdf exports. They are totally fine when exported from Android, but for some reason the I-Phone PDF exports are a weird barely visible font -- impossible to read if printed, and barely readable on screen. Not being a programmer I just have to scratch my head...

…and to his credit, he immediately made the call.

The irony is Lou, by Derby City rules, if you had elevated your cue 45 degrees (assuming it was a close proximity shot), it would not even have been considered a foul by their special 45 degree rule. It's why purists don't like their 45 degree rule, they prefer the classic test of "did the cue...

This was Fedor's shot -- a "close proximity" cross corner bank shot to his pocket (lower left as we view it). And here he spots up the ball and you see Gomez moving over to take advantage of the unexpected opportunity. Gomez can be seen in his chair behind Gorst watching as Gorst shoots, but...

It may have been my post on Facebook that brought on the discussion -- but my post was Fedor Gorst vs Roberto Gomez, where Gorst appears to call a foul on himself at a key point in the end game, and it gives Gomez an easy shot for game ball. I posted to give props to Gorst for calling a foul on...

Thank you for this -- I just started using it and suggesting it for a new local straight pool league I am running. And it appears you just in the last week or so did a small but VERY significant upgrade in the pdf export so it is nice and readable and printable now! I recommend this app It is...

Y'all needn't have been so scared lol, Louie Demarco got knocked out early and the top two were onepocket.org guys Mark Mariani and Justin Tingle :D :D

Hopefully they will recognize that smaller is only better to a point; you need to stop when you find the sweet spot between pro-level challenging and the creativity and entertainment value that the ability to cheat the pockets offers. Or, maybe they are trying to turn it into SNOOKER -- given...

Funny, but I also have seen a bit of that over the years. A player asks for advice -- but they either ignore it or they "already know that". Funniest thing is a few months later I see them do the right shot instead, and they come up to you and say something like, "I got that shot from you." It...

When the casino moved on land, they renovated so much of that Horseshoe property they lost the room that we had held our HOF dinner in. Then there was Covid. Now there is a side function room but last Derby a streamer was set up there for the week. So we are trying Buffalo's. At Buffalo's this...

I always enjoyed talking with him, but you and I are both misspeaking a bit -- it was always A LOT more about me listening and him talking, but he was incredibly informative! I would clock him as a genius for sure. I hope he is still alive, but he does seem to have got more and more reclusive...

How about the scam where they "accidentally" send you double the money, and they ask you to send back the extra, so you send back the extra and you ship out the goods, and then funny thing, the money disappears. Now you are out the goods and the money! Or how about this, the same idea -- they...

Pretty funny, yet decently researched

This. It's strange, because it sure does appear that 10-ball caught on with pro tournaments because top players were breaking and running all to often at 9-ball. Then weaker players see that being played and they want to play it. Then the leagues figured out they could even adopt it, by giving...

Well the math is different, because Fargo appears to be a logarithm generated number, whereas golf is a basic linear number. I would think you would need to recompute one or the other to get them into the same scale, so to speak. I say that, but I am definitely not a golfer lol.
