    League Members Input Needed

    This thread will be quite helpful to me as I have been tasked with being president of a league this fall. I've had no experience with leagues other than playing and being captain for a couple of sessions, which at least gave me some insight. Our league has become lackluster for many and I hope...

    League Members Input Needed

    In all organizations that sponsor pool leagues, people come to realize that there are positive and negative aspects that affect their future participation. In an effort to better understand the needs of players in general, I would appreciate using the members of this forum, that either have...

    Power Average

    I'm referring to a VNEA league specifically and the goal of using such a tool in structuring a handicap system that enables any team, regardless of strength, is to be competitive. After reading as much as I could find, the formula starts with a minimum of 12 games points won minus opponents...

    Power Average

    After talking to several VNEA members in different parts of the country , I was told of the common use of power averages to create parity in teams using all levels of players on their rosters. A percentage of points allowed seems to be the basis for this but not finding an explanation in print...

    Has All Civility Been Lost Here On AZ?

    This gathering place has given so many opportunities for information and opinion to be shared and considered, it enables me to disregard many responces without hesitation. I personally choose not to feel accountable or responsible for the practices of others. I believe in any arena there will be...

    Kamui Tip

    I am at a point of tip replacement after using kamui hard for the last 18 months. I would only consider exact replacement or kamui hard clear. The selling point as I understand is limiting glue penetration. My question is how the polycarbonite layer will do anything more than using gel...

    Before the BCA became a Trade Organization

    In the recorded historical collection of World Championship matches, assembled on the website of Charles Ursitti, it's quite apparent sanctioning bodies began at the behest of a trade organization, namely : J.M. Brunswick and Balke Co. It's obvious, attention brought to the sport in this...

    League Fun

    In any case this thread was an explanation of an unexpected encounter that I thought might cause others to share similar events. I in no certain terms have ever felt so skilled that I may reference them other than actual occurrences. If I came across as self serving, I assure you it was...

    League Fun

    I understand in our league I became a mark after winning the average title a couple of times. It seems as though some more than others take their best shot at me thinking that's going to raise their status or something should they win. A young man about 35 has got me on the ropes and misses a...

    WTB: Case"add-on"

    I have an interest in an "add-on" sleeve or pocket that would attach to my hard case sized to hold an extension and/or jump stick butt that attaches with Velcro straps or something similar. Any guidance would be appreciated.

    First L/D

    When did the first L/D shaft come on the market? Who was the maker and how was it introduced? Did the Jacksonville experiments influence popular opinion? Certainly seems plausible considering increased interest around that time. Just curious I suppose.

    Why so many?

    I must admit when I received instructions as a lad, one statement I tried to accept, but couldn't until years later was "this game ain't about makin' a shot, it's about makin' the next shot". I believe you're right, if position play would be presented as part of the basic game rather than a...

    Why so many?

    Recently a thread about cue ball control brought to light possible advantages through stroke mechanics. Posts concerning the subject of accurately forecasting cue ball position are fairly frequent, and I am always trying to take what I learn here to the table. That being said, I've recognized an...

    VNEA league 8-ball...player A breaks and scratches. Opponent takes BIH in the kitchen and calls the 2 (which is not in the kitchen) and calls safe at the same time. Player A contends at that point you cannot claim solids or stripes. Opponent says he's establishing his group and giving up his...
