Sounds like some whacked out coonass rules!! Where are you out of or near? I've heard some of the small bars in South Louisiana still play by the old Busch Pool League Rules from 40 years ago!! Welcome to AZ and you will find a large group of knowledgeable people. Heck, you got Bob Jewett to...

Tom Brown When I was living in Germany in the late 80's, I traveled to Munich to see this guy who was gambling big and pocketing some huge Deutschemarks from some of top tier players. The Germans were amazed that the young guy with "eine auge" played so well. It was Tom Brown, and he played...

Tommy Sanders and JoeMac Punter,I hope you get Tommy to post more. I only see him ever so often at Winners Choice in Sulphur,La. JoeMac is a regular and he's a tough barbox player. Are you referencing the matchup in Beaumont with Mark Tadd and Tommy Sanders back around '91-92? If so, I have a...

Good Responses I see that a large number of people have offered excellent input for your project. You will do well. Customize what they give you for your location and it will succeed. Carl

Possible to make it work There is an opportunity here to make this work. It is a process of priorities. Start with the night of the week. What time do local leagues start? Estimate the distance to some of the towns near Vernal(Roosevelt, Dutch John, and maybe Bonanza), and how long it takes to...

Cisero Murphy Movie TomHay, I agree that this would make a wonderful movie. It was discussed back in the 90's when Cisero was being inducted to the BCA Hall of Fame(1995), and his untimely death made it a more difficult proposal. The rights to the story belong to the heirs, and I am not sure...

Possible Contact Bill Luckett of Clarksdale, Miss. had Morgan Freeman campaign for him a while back. They are best friends. Mr. Luckett is an attorney in Clarksville and owns a Blues Club in town. I have never met Mr. Luckett, however he is a relative on my Father's side. I will contact my...

Only Plays 8 Ball Since you stated you only play 8 Ball, I am basing my points on you're being a novice. Getting commentary from a thread will only help you a little. There are many people on the forums who have opinions about everything. I am among them. I do not know about the other people...

Thanks Thanks. It's funny, every now and then I stumble on old Pool Stuff I've collected over the years that I forgot to give away. I still have a set of Super Aramith Pro Balls that were used in the WPA World Championships years ago. LMAO, I'll stumble over them one day. Thanks for Looking...

So, at what level do you consider this to be false? Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, or Professional? What size table has the best mathematical percentage of success at being equally difficult? Too many variables for you to comprehend,perhaps? It's a good question that he posted in the OP, one...

New Jersey You ever played at The Ball Room in Tom's River back in the 80's? Ever play and beat Neptune Joe Frady? Pat Fleming? The OP was about comparing 8 Ball to 9 Ball. My caveat was about 15 Ball Rotation having complexities in patterns that require adjustment from 9 on the table to 15...

Challenge? A challenge? :eek: cajunfats

Good Question Since 1967, but I keep trying to play a few more games before I die. Thank for the question. cajunfats

Good Question 8 Ball. Regardless of table size. The mathematics and multitude of opponent balls creating problems during any given game, are what will separate the two disciplines. That said, pure rotation(1-15) would be on par of difficulty with 8 Ball due to the number of obstacles. 9 Ball...

Find What Sets Your Mind at Ease We all have a balance point in our daily life. That balance point allows us to know that whatever we are doing, the result is not an overwhelming indication of who or what we are. If you are at a tournament in familiar surrounings, with familiar people, it is...

Yes, as a Training Method Yes. I have played matches with an opponent where we utilized BIH anywhere after any fouls. This was done as a part of developmental training. Extend match length to 200 points. Keep written score, to track your innings. Shooting these games with an offensive mind...

Rummaging through an old box of books and stuff and found this. Some of these players are pretty well known,lol. I remember walking the Vegas Strip while chatting with Jean Balukas. Was Happy to see Mr. Eddie Taylor and Dallas West again. Great Memories. cajunfats

Fran, you are correct. The By-Laws still show 501(c)3, but that was changed a few years ago for Trade Associations to the 501(c)6. I went to IRS.gov and checked. I have been involved with a local theatre non profit that has the 501(c)3 still applicable. Thanks for the update.

Billiard Congress of America Trade Association Perhaps the way the BCA is structured as a Non Profit 501(c)3 Association has a lot to do with the confusion. Because the BCA has turned towards the Trade Association configuration, the umbrella for the organization changed. The BCA Pool Leagues...

Superman Perkins Bob, was that photo in the Stars and Stripes Newspaper? It sure sounds familiar! Hahahaha, Superman Tim Perkins! I'll say this, and you have also told me, he was a ferocious money player. I sure wish we could round up some of the guys for a reunion tournament!! That would be...
