Tasc Joint I recently hit with a Tascarella with the Stainless Collar Ivory Joint. I really liked the hit. I have two custom cues with Stainless Steel Joints and I found the hit to be comparable. I liked it so much I am considering this joint style in a future custom cue order. You will not...

The Hit When an accomplished player, like Rodney Morris, doesn't call a referee to observe the hit, it is his fault. The stoppage of the game can only be construed as a "move", in order to break the opposing player from his rhythm. Rodney is a great pool player. He knew better at the time. Of...

Bruce Patton Great! Yhanks for posting this. Hopefully we can acquire more info on this group of players. decent dennis here is some green for you!:thumbup: Somebody from around the Virginia area might remember Gary Urinoski, he played really wel also. cajunfats

Tony Softa and Roger Glenn I remember Tony was up in Alaska and Roger was in El Paso some years ago. Both were involved with the BCA Leagues and referee Program if I recall. One other player, Chance Chin I think was living up on the East Coast, maybe the New York area. I used to watch Chance...

Tim Perkins I talked to Bob Brown, who used to run with Tim when they were stationed in Nuremburg together. He said Tim comes from around the Paducah, Kentucky area. Although he isn't sure Tim is still there, I think it's a good stating point. Maybe some of our Kentucky and Southern Illinois...

Cq Doc, check out that post in the 14.1 Forum. Army MWR used to run some good pool programs. Unfortunately, I can't stay up tonight as I have a VA Appt. in the morning. Have a Good One. cajunfats

Tough Call I'm going to stay with my Roots, and say Dallas West! Razor Thin Second, Oliver Ortmann.

14.1 The 14.1 Tournaments took place starting in the mid 80's. Previously it was 8 Ball. The interesting part was that the 8 Ball Tournaments were played on 9 Ft. Tables in the Recreation Centers. I played in a couple of the qualifiers back in 1981/82, and they were 8 Ball. I'll see if there...

Scanning Pages I'll try and see if my Digital Camera will pick them up. I do not own a scanner.

Air Force Tournament/ Tim Perkins Edmero, I do not know where Tim is now. I play in a Tournament on Fridays, and an old friend of his, Bob Brown comes down from the Ft. Polk area sometimes. I'll ask him the next time I see him. I found my Certificate from the Air Force when I directed the...

1984 Copy I do not have that year, as I arrived in Germany after the tournament had taken place. If I recall, that was an 8 Ball Tournament. It is likely that a copy exists in the files at Army MWR in Europe, but since the realignment, that stuff is in mothballs forever. Perhaps, by my posting...

I was rummaging through some old boxes and I found a couple of programs from the US Army 14.1 Championships in Europe. There are lists of players, and I am certain some of our AZ'ers may recognize some of them. I decided to post it in the 14.1 section first, and maybe link to the main forum...

logic Hahaha, Thanks, Scott. I apologize about my confusing things. However, you can be thankful I was very brief in my post! I have been known to be rather,...long winded at explaining things! LOL.

BCA Trade Organization It may be better stated as to what should the BCA do? IMHO, I believe the organization that is currently called the BCA in Colorado, should change their name. Because they represent the manufacturers, and other industry members, it is in their best interest to create a...

Make it Exciting Can pool be made exciting in terms of gameplay? Yes, In My Humble Opinion. It was never intended to be exciting. It is an analytical and cerebral challenge. For the player, and the observer. The individual determines what excitement they receive as does the observer. The...

Changing the Bet? Bob has the correct answer, especially for the old school player. The guy with the cash makes the game. The player is the Horse, who has to do one thing,...Run the Race. Win and the backer keeps feeding you, lose and you are out to pasture. It is why the backer has the...
