I just looked at BCA rules again and see no such requirement unless there is a later version. All I see for legal break shot is: 4.5 LEGAL BREAK SHOT (Defined) To execute a legal break, the breaker (with the cue ball behind the head string) must either (1) pocket a ball, or (2) drive at least...

China over Italy 8-5

What game are you playing? In 8 ball should be ok if all other requirements of the break shot were met. In 9 ball, definitely not because you must hit the 1 ball first.

At one break between matches there was an informercial on, but I don't remember if that was the specific time. Another thought just occurred to me. USA/Sweden was the last round 1 match and Taiwan/Japan was the first round 2 match. I think this is a ticketed event so they may have had to clear...

Indonesia looked good. Philippines A looked bad, especially Efren. Very surprising.

Archer/Morris win 8-7 over Sweden. They were up 7-4, but Sweden came back to make it Hill/Hill. Came up dry on break and USA ran out.

I just watched last several games of Japan vs Slovenia. Japan won 8-7 but the play was sloppy by both teams. Update - the Taiwan team of Ko/Chang looked really strong in their 8-2 win over Malaysia.

Agree. I am a mid level player and like the open after the break rule better. To be fair though, WPA has rules for 8 Ball and rules for Black Ball, which is almost the same as 8 Ball but is played mostly in the UK, I think. Even in Black Ball the table is open after the break although there are...

Well said Lou!! I would unscrew also and add one more name to my "never play with" list. It is definitely unsportsmanlike conduct in my book. If you did that in a serious gambling game, the result might be more violent.

You got that right. I don't read about 90% of the threads here. Useless drivel to my mind, but I guess interesting to some people. I was thinking of starting a poll to see whether people inhale, exhale or hold their breath as they stroke and, if they do breathe, is it through the nose or the...

Thanks for all the replies and comments. I'm still looking for a complete set of rules somewhere. Does it exist?

Joyren - Who was there from China?? thanks

I have never played golf on a pool table but would like to. In searching the internet, I have found several sets of very different rules, some with multiple cue balls, some with "hickeys", etc. Anyone have an opinion on the "best" or "most fun" version of this game? A copy of the rules would be...

I know some of the Koreans(Yu Ram Cha, et.al.) were there and watched them on line. Were the Chinese there also?

From my time in China, the lady players there all know and idolize Allison. In the first Pan Xiao Ting pool room in Shanghai, there is a huge picture on the wall of Pan standing with Allison.

For the second year in a row, Women's 9 Ball World Championship won by a Chinese player who nobody outside China every heard of before.

Currently Fu - 6 Allison - 4 but Allison coming back strong. Now 6-5, Allison breaking, race to 9

Watch the pros as see how often they juice the cue ball with a lot of draw. I think you will find it is not very frequently. Bob Jewett(I think) had some simple drills for draw and follow. Try those and see which is easier to control the final position of the cue ball. If you opponent leaves...

Fu has hair in ponytail. ShaSha pulled into bun. On scoreboard ShaSha on left, Fu on right Oops. too late. sorry

If I was one of the promoters or players, which I am not, I would tell you that the financial arrangements are none of your damn business. You can pay to watch or don't, your choice, but nobody else cares.
