    VNEA Rules Question

    Rule 7 does not apply, since it is not on the break. Rule 5 states that it is a loss of game. Scratches do not need to be called a foul. Sort of a DUH foul, but I suppose a scratching player could catch the cue ball and put it back on the table while the opponent isn't looking (and no one...

    Strange foul, is this ball in hand?

    How about this scenario? You shoot the 8 ball in and the cue ball is headed right to the side pocket, but a kitten pops out of the pocket and bats it away. Yes, I have played on a table where a kitten was running around the ball return tracks.

    2017 VNEA World Championships - Team Preparation Advice

    Don't drink too much the night before your match. I attended three times. For the first match of the first and second trips, there were two teammates that were so drunk, they could barely stand. We lost both matches.

    Maybe he can justify why he does this.

    Ruling question

    Good analogy. I didn't think that the ball would not count when the question came up. This would have been a good way to resolve that question.

    Ruling question

    I stopped at a local 3 man 8 ball tournament yesterday. A question came up from a teammate of the A team I was rooting for. It was a tight match. Team J's 14 point lead after six games was reduced to 4 with two games left. Player J was at the table with three balls left, opponent's group...

    Issue during APA Playoffs

    So, if someone wants to learn how to play pool. they should practice the break shot until they have it down, then and only then should they try making a ball?

    bridge use question

    A sturdy bridge for a jump shot in the middle of the table can be achieved by placing the butt end of a bridge on the cloth and wrapping the bridge hand around it to make a bridge. Not the intended use though. A 16 or 20 ounce cup works good too turned upside down. Not legal either.

    Issue during APA Playoffs

    I saw a match in Dallas in the summer of 1990 where CJ Wiley was breaking for Johnny Archer. I don't know who Johnny was playing.

    Looking for a few good men (or women) and locations nationwide!

    One difference between the Chinese 8 ball table and a 9 ft snooker table is the rails. I have not seen a table myself, but was told that the edge that the ball comes into contact with the rail is flat (about 1/4 inch). A friend of mine saw Shane's table in Sioux Falls and thought that these...

    DCC 9-ball updates

    I believe matching the feat would mean if Player A BnR nine racks, Player B would have a chance to break a rack and continue shooting until he misses or runs more racks than Player A did. If I were player A, I would hope I would not have to stop at nine BnRs. Does the same rule apply if player...
