    Was it a foul?

    There was a game in the SD State 8 Ball tournament around 1990 where two players were trying to freeze the 8 ball to the rail. Mike jumps over to the rail and calls the ball frozen after Joe taps it. Then Mike quickly touches the cueball with the tip and calls it frozen again. When Joe called...

    Was it a foul?

    You were shawed. Sounds like a legal shot to me. On a close call like that, a third party should be called over to watch and make the call. It is a foul in VNEA if you touch the cueball even after an obvious foul before the opponent agrees it was a foul. (Or it was a rule at one time.) A...

    However, the coffee already poured appears to be in a round container. Over analyzing a bit, I know.

    Unless the intermediary containers are smaller than they look, not enough coffee will make it to cup 5 to fill it. Maybe there is another pot available.

    A good game for home gathering?

    I used to like playing Pea Pool, before I got better and could run more balls. The last game I played, I ran out from the 1 ball which caused the other three guys to quit. 16 peas, 16 is the cueball. Draw for order, then divide up the peas evenly. (four - 4 each, Five - 3 each, Three - 5...

    Pro Players paying into Social Security and Taxes on monies won

    I wonder if anyone fills out form 8300 to report cash payments of $10,000 or more? Probably no pool players. A match between two players for cash without a spot could be considered a two person single elimination tournament, so gambling rules would not apply. A spot would tip it towards...

    Dechaine just chopped up Busty, but he's not even considered for MC.

    Not accurate. I am 1-0 against him. But it was only a two game match.... and he was six.

    Stop with the cue pointing!!!!!!!

    One of the first guys I saw who could really move the cue ball where he wanted it impresses me with his confidence. He would make a circular motion with his cue where he wanted the CB for the next shot. I thought it was cool, being 16 or 17 and never seeing a cueball on the string like that...

    What Would You Do?

    A neighbor once advised me regarding picking at rummage sales... "you do not have an obligation to educate the seller" Referring to an item that has much more value than what it is priced at. I once bought an item priced at 50 cents, and shipped it the next day to someone who bought it for...

    The worst packaging you have seen for shipping a cue?

    I was planning on using the triangle Priority Mail box to ship a cue that I have not listed yet. Was going to make another thicker box to fit inside it and use plenty of packing material. Does that sound good enough to not show up on this thread after delivery? Cuetec Denali 426

    Tried the lo-o-ng cue...didn't much care for it.

    I missed an easy shot in the State Tournament back in 91. The shot was so easy, that missing it made me feel six feet tall. I am 6' 5" and have been using a 6 inch joint extension for a couple years. Do not want to play without it. I wish I would have had it when I was playing alot 25 to...

    Break Stats -- 2018 US Open 8-Ball Championship, July 2018

    Was there a tariff on Alex's break? Perhaps he had to make three balls before he could continue shooting with a two ball tariff imposed on Canada.
