Give me a title, STAT!!... Henceforth, ye shall be known as "Dr. JoeW" ;)

Good post Ed. I hope you sent this in the form of a letter (or email) to Billiards Digest. I would hate to think you wasted all this only on here.

If you want to know where the out-of-bounds is, just watch my ball... If you're looking for the fairway, it'll be the farthest thing from my ball...

Green, being near the center of the visible spectrum is the easiest color on the eyes. Not to say this is the reason for using it. Most (perhaps even all) of the halls I play in around Dallas have green cloth and green chalk. The chalk is a shade lighter than the cloth, but they are both...

That's discrimination, that is... I am against all ball fouls because it discourages women with large breasts from playing the game. And no one here wants that...

Here in the Dallas area, there is a High School Billiards League involving 10 schools from 5 different school districts. It is sanctioned by the BCA and the Billiard Education Foundation (BEF) and players can even be eligible for college scholarships through the BEF. Hopefully, something like...

Is it another 11%? More? Less? I only ask out of curiosity. It's really none of my business, so if anyone cares not to reply, that's ok. It won't hurt my feelings.

Bob, The USBA site shows the following as a location with a billiard table: "CJ’s Billiard Palace, 7328 Gaston Ave, Dallas, TX 75214-4130, (214) 321-9947, one antique Brunswick." The last time I was at CJ's (over a year ago), they no longer had a 3 cushion table (or a snooker table for that...

Some time around last October. ;)

I anyone could do it, she probably could.

What a difference a few months can make... Strange, but if memory serves, he was one of the most respected (sic) men in the billiard community a mere 9 months ago.

Correction ceebee, coming from I-30, you would want to go NORTH on Hwy 75. If you go south you'll end up on I-45 which will take you to Houston.

The critical phrase in that "promise" would be "as cash flow allows". Meaning, when he has the money, he'll pay whatever amount he deems possible. If not, you're out of luck. Though I do believe one part of the statement: That all players will be paid in full before the next IPT tournament...

The first man to raise a fist is the man who has run out of ideas. Doesn't really fit here. I just like the quote and wanted to post something.

It don't grow on trees, you know... Hey, he has to get the money to pay the players from somewhere. Unless you buy the "billionaire" bit and think he has millions lying around in his checking account just waiting to be given away, then it stands to reason that he needs to generate some...

Coincidence? I hope so... This is the same type of wording used by upper management in my company just before they lay off a significant number of people...

I thought D-Day was April 15th. Or am I behind an announcement or two?

"Long-awaited" is an apt phrase, since it has been more than a year since the tournament was played. Just how long does it take to do post production work on a two hour sports presentation?

At least someone's getting paid...

Gazing into My Crystal... I'm not a prophet, but I will make one prediction: On or before April 15, 2007, KT will announce he is shutting down operations of the IPT due to lack of support from the players.
