I watched a match last night between SVB & Ko. At one point, Shane had three solids lined up below the rack area. You might say he did a mini drill during a match. Made me think about setting some up.

A friend of mine did this and became a monster kicker and banker.

Not gambling. It was a single elimination tournament race to 9 with a $200 entry fee. Payout was 100% to first place.

The Senior Center in Moore has 3 tables that might be 9 footers. If it is similar to Sioux Falls, it might be an option for you. SF info: 18 to join, 5 tables and a snooker table, so there is often one available. Most of the players are over 60, but there are a few youngsters over 45...

Just watched the ending of all the games, Dustin conceded 2 8-balls which is common at that level if allowed. He also conceded another game with 6 on the table. Final was 7-5. A couple of names to watch.

Here is an 8-Ball match they played a year ago. Dustin conceded the last game after missing a bank on the 8 with all of Danny's solids on the table. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eLX9thx3Fp8 They also met in the 9-ball tournament with Danny winning.

Brackets are posted on compusport.ca. FYI. Danny Olson finished 2nd in the Masters 8 Ball. Dustin Gunia won.

The artist who did this can't possibly have a conscience.

Chalk on a well shaped tip

I liked the Blondie comic in yesterday's paper. I can relate to him when there is an unexpected time off from work and my wife is still working. My reaction is likely to find a pool table too. http://blondie.com/comics/may-17-2015/

Tom Rossman demonstrated a trick shot where he said to throw the cue at the cueball for extreme draw. I have used this technique for a couple shots at tournaments. Best if about a foot away from the object ball.

Or maybe a pool cue heater that functions as a stand. Set it in place when not shooting and always have a nice warm cue to shoot with. Of course, you would have to shoot fast or reheat during your inning while looking over the table.

I was at SD State (7,000 students) during a great time for playing pool in the late 80's until 1992. The game room had 8 GC & 2 snooker tables. There was an unofficial billiard club which held informal meetings throughout the day. It was common to see someone reading a text book when not...

Since you asked.... I am not rooting for Skylar.

I do not agree with losing a game on purpose to lower a rating or average. However, in a VNEA league match years ago, we needed 5 balls in the last game to win the first round. Our guy was told before hand to shoot the eight in if he gets the five, but not likely to win the game. The...

I named our team at a 3 person tournament using the first letters of our names. ETC. It looked good on the winners side of the bracket as we advanced to the hotseat. Unfortunately, the person announcing the matches spelled it out instead of saying Etcetera.

I think the best names include the name of the location, unless the owner doesn't contribute anything to the team.

I used to play one night a week at the Wisner, NE senior citizen center that was a block from my house. I was 29 at the time and by far the youngest one there. They had an 8 ft pool table, a snooker table and played doubles, bank the 8 in the last pocket. It was a challenge. The only time...

Final night of VNEA league tonight, our team is down by 1 round after leading the league since the third week, much of the time by 17 or more rounds. The first place team was behind us by 25 rounds just 6 weeks ago. Update, Lost all rounds and will probably end up in 3rd.

(b) changing the position of the balls in play other than by a shot; I have seen a player move an accidentally bumped ball to a completely different position that takes away the shooters intended shot. I agree that this should be loss of game, but where is the official proof? Unless a...
