Thanks, Steve. But the situation I have is some of us travel 25-30 miles one way to play a scheduled match and the opponent does not show. The cost for gas could be about $12-$15, time is wasted. This could all be avoided by a courtesy call to opposing player before the match that they couldn't...

For those of you that play in 14.1 leagues, how does your league operator handle a "no show" of one of the players to a scheduled match. Is there some type of penalty? I define a "no show" as someone who did not attempt or make any previous contact that he/she could not play the scheduled...

At Bunnell's Recreation (Detroit Lakes, MN) in the 1960's it was 60 cents per hour to play. Most of us played by the rack. Tap your cue on the floor and Ole would come over, collect his money and rack the balls. A single rack of 8 ball or rotation was 10 cents...snooker 15 cents. We played alot...

A drop in league format is where you have a day/time established, for a set number of weeks, followed by a tournament. There is no commitment to show up every week. You "drop in" and league operator assigns you to a match with another player. For example, if season is 12 weeks long you have to...

A nice feature of the IPad Billiards Buddy scoring app is it displays number of fouls you are on. I believe it will also warn you when you are on 2 fouls and coming up to shoot. If you foul again, it instructs you of the point deduction and instructs you to rack and re-break.

Drop in format is where there isn't a published schedule of match ups per week. Players "drop in" at designated time /day and sign up to play and are matched up against another. No weekly commitments. At end of season there is a tournament of those that played a required number of matches...

I am considering a drop in format, but wondering how to handle if an odd number of players show up? I believe there are some California 14.1 leagues that use the drop in format...what do you do in such a situation? -Dennis

I will anxiously await the Ipad version. The present Iphone version works great on my Ipad though. I like the idea of a shot clock added. -Dennis

I looked through my area in your directory. Unfortunately, several establishments listed have been out of business for years, ie: Fat Boy Billiards, Faribo Billiards, Rack em Up Billiards and others. Dont know how your list was established...but outdated.

Great job. I really like your pace of play and focus. Most excellent video, usually we don't see video from the side of table angle. It worked well. Awesome graphics. -Dennis

In addition to our normal Thursday night league, we will be offering a Sunday afternoon 14.1 league at Shooters Billiards in Burnsville, MN. This is for people that would rather play on Sundays or can not play Thursday nights. Sign up is Sunday Sept 9 with league matches beginning Sunday Sept...

I was looking for jump cue tips on the web this morning and found there are tips by Tiger and White Diamond that are layered leather (very hard). If this is the case..one of these tips on a jump cue over 40" long would seem to be legal to use in 14.1, 9ball and other games per WPA rules. I...

The BCAPL rule is very clearly written. I like rules that are clear. -Dennis

This is where the confusion comes in. The WPA certainly seems to state that jump cues are legal in straight pool....but you have to read further that they must have the correct tip and length. -Dennis

I was under the impression that jump cues could be used in straight pool (I dont jump balls but there are others in our league that do). -Dennis

I purchased the free version first, then purchased the ad-free upgrade and it installed right over the previous version without any problems. -Dennis

Count me in also. I was talking to another player who has an extensive dvd collection of 14,1 and said he likes the dvd's as he goes back and forth thru the play and patterns to analyze them to improve his game. -Dennis

Congratulations on your championship. It is good to see the championsip trophy back in USA. Last time was 1990.

Happens to me quite often. I always take the foul.

The reason I like the Ipad Billiards Buddy is that I play pool without my glasses, but to record scores on a scoresheet (small print usually) I need to put my glasses back on. Then to return to table it takes a moment for my eyes to refocus. The screen on Billiards Buddy is large enough that I...
