    US Open Earlybird Special Has Landed @ Accu-Stats

    Siming Chen isn't registered yet? Might be an opportunity for a sponsorship, she might just breeze through this field, (or so I heard something similar) I hope she plays.

    How many of you play multiple cues?

    I was a spectator at a Pro tournament in 1992 at the Pheasant Run Resort west of Chicago. There was a player who would put six cues together for his matches. When he checked the rack, his head was about a foot above the rack, and he would bob up an down a few times. During his games, after...

    Why would a 'junk' cue play better than an expensive one?

    It's not the arrow..... I like that you rehearse at home. (Then perform later)

    Racking Shenanigans

    In the early 90's, there was a very good player who like to give his opponents a slug rack. People would smash the head ball very hard, and barely break up the rack. One guy got so mad that he threatened the punk, who called the police and threatened to have him arrested for assault. I...

    Gender test for any first place over $199......

    Some may want more than dropping the shorts or lifting the dress. A blood test and psychiatric evaluation will be necessary to truly determine one's gender.

    Does everyone here use a jump cue?

    Since you asked everyone, I better respond too. I have a break/jump cue which I have not used for jumping in about 20 years. Just started playing more about three years ago, and plan on practicing to get the feel of it again. Love a good jump. Best one I had was jumping several balls to...

    Pool balls at local bar are terrible?

    If the balls clean up well, and the cue ball has a grayish color, Buy a red dot cue ball, or two cue balls that won't work on the return (three is you scratch a lot) We called the gray cueball a mudball. There are metal flakes distributed throughout the ball which makes a difference on how...

    Another Rules Question

    How about if the Captain wears a shirt that has blocks of seven different colors, for example, yellow, blue, red, purple, etc. If a player is unsure of what to shoot, he could casually walk around the table and look to see what color the captain has his finger on. :smile:

    Best line from a losing opponent.

    From a friend of the loser, who was playing my friend, Troy, after Troy checks a rack before breaking. "He must have seen that on ESPN" Later in the game, Troy plays a great safety, caroming off a ball that was near midtable, then going three rails to hide the cueball behind two balls. Troy...

    Illegal team takes 3rd in Gold at BCA Nationals

    The top four teams in the Gold division will most likely all be Platinum teams. I can go from playing as a 140 to a 640 in a 30 minute span. Did it last week. Very frustrating. I have always played at the top of my game in the big tournaments with nice equipment. Tough to gauge...

    If a tennis player played slow, wouldn't they miss the ball most of the time? :wink:

    Why are certain parts of the country better for action than others?

    My thoughts exactly. I didn't do well playing for money when I was at my peak because I didn't want the other guy's money as much as wanting to keep mine. I get enjoyment out of playing a local player for 1,000 pts a set. Points don't mean anything, and we don't keep track, but I don't want...

    SVB and Skyler Forfeit out of the 10 Ball Challenge Match

    When I was in Vegas for the VNEA tournament in 1987, Tommy Kennedy was drawing a lot of attention with his play and his juggling. He was in the top 8 of the master's division when he forfeited a match. Heard later that he played his next opponent the night before in a money match, and they...
