    DCC Bits and Pieces

    He's in action with Hennessey right now as I type this playing 9 ball. He was up 17-10 when we came back to the room. Think they were going to 21 with Henny getting games on the wire. Not sure how many. The pace of play was ummm...slow so we decided to head back to the room and call it a night...

    DCC Bits and Pieces

    Yeah there are things to complain about like the renovations, but for all of the talk on this forum for how pool ia dead this event is thriving. The tournament room and the accustats arena was the most packed I've seen it in a long time. I brought my own food and got to see some amazing world...

    Waiting for OB cues delivery for over 6 weeks

    Yikes. Mine isn't quite that bad, but the insert spins freely when you try to tighten the shaft down, and it slides in and out. If I pulled it all the way out it would probably look like that. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

    Bigfoot Bracket

    That Corey Mika match was ridiculously awesome. Corey played much of that match like it was a toy table. Not trying to overpower the 10 footer but just getting perfect on every ball and moving the cue ball as little as possible. Then all if a sudden Mika comes alive with his back against the...

    DCC noob questions

    It's pretty standard practice at any hotels to limit early check in and late check out especially if you're asking to check in 15 hrs early. As far as the rest of it all hotel gift shops price gouge on stuff like that. I do wish they had microwaves in the rooms, but other than that they are...

    DCC 1p picks.. who 'ya like??

    I think I'd have to go with Dennis, but I think it's possible we could see someone reasonably unexpected but who is a good all around player go deep like a Justin Bergman type.

    Who Is Going To The Derby This Year?

    You should definitely go. There are few other tournaments that attract all of these players in the U.S. let alone in the midwest, let alone here in Indiana. Also, the DCC has been around a long time relatively for pool, but the way things are in pool you can never be sure how long good things...

    The New "No Powder" Rule

    I've never been a powder guy. I always felt like eventually it would gum up the cue creating the exact problem it is supposed to solve. Seeing how it gets everywhere I always thought it did more harm than good to the equipment. So I like the rule, but if you're going to look the other way on...

    14.1 Stats -- John Schmidt's Run of 434 on Video, December 2018

    So I just watched the scratch for the first time in the video Dr. Dave has posted. That's the craziest scratch I've ever seen. After watching it I agree I don't think it hit anything like a piece of debris. I like Dr Dave's ball turn theory, but for a curve that dramatic I think there has to...

    It really is amazing. Testament to Matchroom's reputation. As SJM said there are a lot of other good things going on as well. Great time to be a pool fan. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

    Which is version of ten ball is preferred?

    Ten ball with 9 ball texas express rules is easily the most enjoyable and exciting to watch and to play in my opinion. This is part of the reason why the Bigfoot 10 Ball at the Derby is one of my favorite events all year. The regular call shot version is ok, but generally I think its a...

    Music City Open

    I don't know if that is true or not, but his matches in this event last year were BRUTAL to watch for that very reason.

    14.1 Stats -- John Schmidt's Run of 434 on Video, December 2018

    I believe he said afterwards that he thinks it was due to the cue ball hitting a small piece of debris like chalk rather than the table itself.

    14.1 Stats -- John Schmidt's Run of 434 on Video, December 2018

    There is a chart in the 14.1 rules that explains what you are supposed to do in all of those special racking situations. I'm sure someone will post it or post a link to it. That is the correct procedure if the cue ball is left in the rack. Sometimes it can be a strategy to play it that way on...
