How many entrants, and how deep do the pay outs go? Double elimination at the start could help ensure that the top players don't go out on a fluke. But once you're "in the money" switching to single elimination kind of makes sense. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Can I ask what you paid for the blank cue balls? $20 isn't out of line for a good cue ball even unsigned. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I didn't read it that he meant he could do it on command after 30 days of practice. But rather that if he tried for 30 days straight somewhere in there between day 1 and day 30 he would have a string of 12 BNR in a row. I think you underestimate the number of tries one can get in in 30 days...

Defending champ should get free entry even if it was a fluke.

The odds of a 50% break and run artiste running his next 20 games is 1 in 1,048,576. Edited: looks like Chuck beat me to it.

BU vs Fargorate Do any of you who've taken the test have an established Fargorate as well. I'd like to see how well the two correlate.

In the south part of the Netherlands they play 8 ball on 6 footers with 8-9 cm pockets (3.15-3.5 inch pockets) and yes they have full size (57 mm/2.25 in) balls. Clusters galore, but I still averaged one BNR every week or so. Never saw more than a two pack in three years though.

SVB runs an 8-pack. But that's no Valley. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dee4fgxEC68

Yep, I find if I miscue on a draw shot it's usually because I tightened my grip on the last stroke.

Also the shadows by the top corners need to be fixed. They still show where the pocket opening is.

That cue is not regulation length. Bet it can't even draw the cueball. Its Fargorate is too low. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Just had a thought. How about a rule where the opponent racks and if you don't like it you can pass the break to him, but he cannot touch it after you decide to pass? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Pool would make a better Olympic event than golf, if the intention is to bring the best the world has to offer together to truly compete. Golf will just end up like hockey after they started allowing pros to play. The US sent a dream team of pros who promptly partied it up and got their asses...

That's the problem. The Billiards Congress of America has published a set of rules (which are basically identical to WPA rules) but the BCA Pool League (BCAPL) uses the rules published by Cue Sports International which differ in a few key ways including the touch foul rule. Sent from my iPod...

Answer BCAPL is cue ball only fouls. No foul. Opponent has option to restore position of moved ball. BCA on the other hand mirrors WPA rules. Touched ball is foul. So the answer to your rules question is "it depends on the rules."

I don't think he makes them regularly. Anyone you find is going to be one that was a special order. When I lived in Colorado Springs I knew a few who had 60+ in cues by him but they were all one-off customs. Even then (17 yrs ago) it was 12+ months from order/design to delivery. Sent from my...

Somebody pleas check my math. 16 games times a max of 8 balls per game is only 128 balls. So the only way to get to 128 would be to win all 16 games? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Sure he can finish from anywhere but have you seen his break, gives up ball in hand every time.

Better yet, lay your cue down on the table on the side your opponent prefers to break from and "accidentally" nudge the cue ball that they have carefully placed when you pick it up. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

The original poster wanted to know what were the odds if he decided to have the absent player draw first or last. At the moment the TD makes that decision, which should be before any positions are drawn, the odds are exactly equal. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
