I was at a tournament this weekend and a 14 year old kid came down from Portland and showed amazing skills. This kid has everything it takes to become a champion except competition and seasoning. I have seen a lot of kids that showed promise, but this one is good to go now! He has an amazing...

OMG! Lisa is one of the funniest, heart-warming people you would ever want to know. This is devastating news. I will give her a call. Can you scan the pictures instead of a pdf and size the pics under 100kb? If you use Windows XP, go here to get the program to resize pics as a right click...

Glenny, I wish you were down here. One of the guys that owned a poolroom here set up tables all over town and did not cut back the plastic from the pockets to keep it flush with the shims, and balls that hit that plastic bounce out. They are disgusting. I'd like to take my Xacto knife to...

Just musing, but I am wondering why VHS players were able to record copyrighted programs and movies for so long? How was that legal? My neighbors had a garage sale and gave me a huge box of recorded videos that I will go through and see if any are worth keeping. They know I still have a Go...

They have an adorable daughter named Cheyenne! This first picture was caught on the move at breakfast with her, Jeanette, Williebetmore and his lovely wife, and SJM at BCA Nationals in 2007. The next 2, I have to apologize, as I do not know the photographer to give them credit, but I did a...

I totally agree. I was once #1 before Smorgy and now it is just a free for all. I am proud that I got every point of mine by trying to contribute meaningful or humorous information, not by kissing someone's behind, but that's what it seems to be today. It has even taken off some of the...

You could use our old name, Champs with Cramps! It's hard in our area to put together a women's team since I am the only master within 3 hours driving distance. And we only have a couple women good enough to play in the open with a chance to win. :frown:

I have a mini-dv camera and suggested it, but how do you hook it up to play on the internet with the firewire?

I am throwing a nice little Tournament of Champions here in southern Oregon this weekend and the room bought a Linksys Wireless-G PTZ Internet Camera with Audio to webstream matches. However, there is too much light. There is no white balance or sophisticated controls in the software, so the...

A house cue is not pro-tapered and usually does not break down for travel. Also, were you competing at a national or international level at 11 or 12? BTW, if anyone wants to contribute monetarily, the Paypal address to send to is webbtrekker2@aol.com. :thumbup:

Hi Freddie, I can appreciate your line of thinking, but as a pool player AND a parent, I know that level of passion you have for the game is something that you can pass on to your kids. And when your child achieves something, there is nothing you as a parent wouldn't do to help your child...

Thank you for all the great updates of this championship. When I was at the 9-Ball World's, the year that Julie Kelly won, I was impressed with Hsin Mei Liu's mastery of stroke and approach at the table like a man's. However, she was off and on. We saw an upset in the making and some of my...

Way to go Colten! You did your daddy proud. Dad, it sounds like you are creating a pool playing dynasty, like the Rakins, lol. Congratulations on your son's win and may many more come his way. :)

Glenn Atwell may be coming down and staying with us for this event. Don Wirtaman is also playing in it.

I had to laugh at that one, sorry. It's just that yes, the subject is always there but good photographers have knowledge about depth of field and lighting, etc., and better equipment. Case in point, when I took pics of the IPT with my Canon Power Shot 5 MP camera. Granted, I was zooming a lot...

This is why playing ball in hand rules on fouls is so important. Then you don't get penalized for his foul. :)

Seven Feathers Hotel and Casino Resort (I-5, exit 99) Presents the Save a Penny Cancer Benefit 8-Ball Challenge (Danny Burdick is the Promoter, Organizer, TD, and head of the BCA down here, but this is not a BCA event, so everyone can play. His wife Penny, who was on my team at Regionals, had...

Where in the heck do you play pool? I rarely see any biker chicks playing pool, let alone ugly ones, lol. Most recreational players are teens or just over the drinking age, and the serious women I regularly have played with range in looks, just as in everything else (income, personality...

Glad you had a great time! There was only one year I had the opportunity to qualify for VNEA in my area. I went down for BCA for 2 weeks, flew home to work for a couple days, then flew back to Vegas for VNEA. It was way different than BCA in the amount of international players. That was...

Stu, Your involvement with the WPBA spans the years and you're a great advocate and historian of our sport. We women are lucky to have you as a voice of reason and as a leader into the future. I appreciate all you have done so far and welcome your influence beyond today. Your dedication and...
