Great post. Very accurate. Everyone has a different agenda when it comes to their personal interest in the game. Without league players, many businesses who provide a platform for the game would cease to exist because of lack of revenue. Those league players are quite possibly people who...

Great post!! To each their own. But from a turnout and participation standpoint, split brackets seem to have a lot of momentum right now. If a given player likes the format, then play. If they don't, then don't play. Pretty simple.

An absolute priceless asset to both the forum and the pool community!!!

But aren't they allowed to make a profit? Matchroom owes no one. If they make a profit, fine. If they don't, fine. Lets say Matchroom had a million dollar event and somehow (whether tv production, marketing, sponsors, whatever), they successfully paid out that million dollars but also...

Agreed. Forever, pool hasn't had any sort of consistency or really solid uniform structure. Matchroom is injecting money, providing a consistent platform and building what appears to be solid infrastructure. The IPT was supposed to be that and it failed miserably. History and checkbook size...

I am going to be traveling in the Ocean City, MD/Delaware area for work in a few weeks. Outside of Delmarva Billiards, I cannot find any other rooms close to that area. Is anyone familiar with this room or does anyone have any recommendations otherwise? The room looks nice on Facebook.

Isn’t it really personal preference? This isn’t black and white. Personally, I enjoy playing on both tables. Again, that’s personal preference. And it’s not because I need to “ feel like a champion”. To each their own. You almost seem offended that someone would enjoy something you don’t...

Looking for information who from or where from a person may be able to rent tables for an independent event. I am specifically looking for bar tables, Diamond or otherwise, that would be delivered and set up. Geographically, this would be for an east coast/mid atlantic event. Any guidance is...

Pat won the seniors, not the super seniors. He is no where near 528. He is likely a 700 speed. At minimum, 675. Ace won the super seniors.

Very cool post. Love hearing the breakdown of all the moving parts from back in the day. Question....you describe CJ as the strongest road man out there....meaning he had the skills, patience and so on to take down the cash. My specific question is how strong was CJ's actual game....maybe...

I am going to be in Annapolis, MD for work and I am looking for weeknight tournaments in the middle part of Maryland. Often times, weeknights are understandably reserved for league play. Does anyone know of any weeknight tournaments at any pool rooms or bars in the middle of the State...

SALE PENDING. Original It’s George 2x4 case for sale. Gray in color. Brand new around 1994. Normal wear and tear, but in overall excellent shape. Latch works perfect. Leather handle added to the top that could easily be removed. Shoulder strap is fine but missing a button. Asking $225...

I never thought of that angle, but that's very true. I was using Fargo as a measurement of skills as opposed to how they do against others. Very, very good point. I know its all relevant to a point, but at the same time, you hit the nail on the head. Thank you for your response.

So because you consider a barbox a gimmick, it’s just simply ”the way it is”? APA, TAP, CSI and a number of others disagree based on their business model. Believe it or not, the different tables can and do successfully coexist. And the game can be enjoyed just the same by those who elect...

I find bar box pool both enjoyable to play and to watch. Is it less difficult in a lot of way than a nine foot table....yes. But its not a gimmick. Its a smaller table. Simple as that. And, from a business standpoint, those smaller tables bring millions of players into leagues and...

Hard for me to argue any of these though I do think that if we are looking at their absolute best game, hall and parica have to be in the upper tier.

True....I know the question is subjective. I am simply curious that if you took any of those players and bottled up what you might consider their highest level, would it reach today's Gorst or Filler or SVB or whoever you consider top dog? Case in point and this isnt a knock, but McCready...

That was exactly part of our discussion. I know it was a different time, different equipment and all of the other stuff that gets talked about. That being said, I personally feel like Strickland in his highest gear could hang with anyone ever at nine ball. Same with Archer. I would...

This thread was derived with a conversation I had recently with a buddy. We had slightly differing views and I am just curious as to everyone's thoughts. The question is this.....what would the estimated Fargo ratings be for players of yesteryear (80's and 90's) at the top of their game? Our...

Is the Super Billiard Expo pro event a Matchroom ranking event?
