When first started playing we also used the beads to keep score of rotation. 61 points or over you were the winner. Problem with many rail rotary counters is that once broken or worn out they are seldom replaced or fixed. I think it was only GC 1 and 2 that had these counters. Today I use Ipad...

Rich...I do the stats for 14.1 leagues in MN. We use a system from a Billiards Digest article by Bob Jewett called "Handicapping 14.1". In summary...the LO assigns a rating to each player based on skill level. One players rating is subtracted from the others and result is the "rating...

Steve...I bet a Billiards Buddy Ipad Scoring App would work well for this. -Dennis

It is great to see more people enjoying the game. Continued success to you.

Happy customer Add my name to happy customers. This is great for me as many local poolroom tables do not have working score counters. We had to revert to keeping results on "paper". My issue is that I wear glasses to read/write but remove them to shoot pool. It always took time for my eyes to...

Very interesting. I am always interested in other leagues scoring systems. Thanks for sharing. -Dennis

I think most players (especially those that "wager" on games) are looking for more instant results/gratification. A game of 14.1 can take 90-120 minutes to see the result. I, also, rarely play any other game than 14.1. Others dont seem to have the patience. -Dennis

I believe both of these links take you to sets of rules that may be outdated. For the latest rules I believe this is the link: http://wpa-pool.com/web/the_rules_of_play

BTW, Brunswick Anniversary is a beautiful table.

First situation....it happens sometimes but you get the full rack, all 15 balls. Second situation...happens rarely, but the OB goes to center spot and CB stays where it is.

I would like to announce a new 14.1 league at The Break in Northfield, MN. They had their first night of competition with 9 players last night. Darl Rah is the owner of The Break and plans are to include the league as part of the MN Straight Pool Association. -Dennis

Thanks for your comment, David. One of the things I have wonderered about with "all ball fouls" is if a OB was barely brushed with a piece of clothing (or hair) and not moved but opposing player called a foul. That could create some heated discussion. -Dennis

Very interesting. Thank you for your input. One of the unique things about our league, we have players with experience levels from beginner to 50 years. The experienced players rarely, if ever, foul by moving another ball..but inexperienced players have difficulty bridging over tight positions...

For those of you in 14.1 leagues, do you play fouls on all balls or cue ball fouls only. Our league plays CB fouls only and seem to be getting into too many disagreements on fouls. I would hear your thoughts. -Dennis

Dennis Thanks so much for posting this. I love old tyme pool and Jimmy C really did a smack down on Willie. In fact this was the only video matches I saw Jimmy Caras play in.

Here in MN, we are down a bit in our summer session compared to fall, winter and spring sessions. With the nice weather it seems to be a more difficult sell. For summer session we are at 16 players whereas winter session was 24.

What date is their national in Chicago? The second year we did 14.1 league here in MN we did 14and1.com. I believe we qualified Matt and Joel out to NJ for the national that year. -Dennis

I prefer the blue circle cue ball that comes with the Brunswick Centennials. -Dennis

Had a 28 ball run tonight in league match with Chuck H.

Fargo Billiards in Fargo, ND and Shooters Billiards in Burnsville, MN. Both great places.
