Sounds like a good weekend. Congrats on the strong finish.

I'm a nobody, SL5 in APA, so take this as you want... I'm EXTREMELY competitive at anything athletic. I'm also someone who has been playing baseball/softball for about 28 of my 38 years on earth but still get nervous before a regular season co-ed, lowest division they offer game for my wife's...

Nothing crazy happened this week in APA. Team won 8-4 (I believe), I won 3-1 (4-4 race), and my wife won 2-0 (2-2 race). Our loan loss was a 6-2 race with our SL2 getting shut out. She shot a little better than usual, but just couldn't finish a game, so that's promising. Tonight is the in-house...

Impressive as he!!. I can't imagine trying to do that. I'm probably less than 50% trying to kick one rail at a ball. :confused:

Thanks. I had always just assumed the game went to a set number (say 100) and then they would give however many balls to help the odds. Makes sense now.

I know very little about One Pocket, but understand the concept of owing balls. Can you explain the "50-5" reference you made? What is the 50 and what is the 5? Thanks!

For the most part. I figured out that a lot of what was bothering her was people, including me, saying it was her nerves. We meant everything from new situation, bigger tables, people talking, etc. but she was taking it as us meaning her being nervous. It made her mad that we thought she was...

Last night was our second night of the in-house league we joined. Our team is going to be interesting because we have (4) SL2s, my and the captain are SL4s, and we have a SL5. We had a SL7 that apparently quick without playing a match. That is all of the members I have met. We lost 2-3 last...

From the small towns (6 across the midwest and southeast) I've lived in and couple of cities (Cincy, Indy, Raleigh, and Burlington) I'll say that no rank tourneys seem to work well in the smaller places, but not so well in larger areas. I'd love to find a small no rank tourney around here as it...

'Rad' is awesome! One of my favorite movies, and I would hate to know how many times I have watched it. I'm kind of lucky because shutting my mind off from work is EASY. By the time I get home, I have no idea what I did that day. I also have an hour drive home, and then go straight to pool. The...

I haven't posted about last week's APA match because I wanted some time to think it over. I was ticked after losing 4-3 to an SL 5 that I beat 3-0 the first week of the season (I was a SL4 then, just bumped to SL5 this week.) We both played well, but we were at their bar and playing on some...

Generally I don't know when my captain is going to put me up for a match. Often if he tells me, and I think there is a chance that I'll need a restroom break during the match, I will go take one then so I don't have to stop mid-match. Otherwise, no more than 1 should be common, and 2 should be...

I'll give it a shot. I've never said much, but I'll try saying nothing. On another note, APA stats were updated for this week and I was bumped to an SL5. :frown: Looks like the challenge just got harder.

Thanks for indulging me, guys. I appreciate the info.

I hope you guys don't mind a slight derailment, but all the talk about skill levels and A, B, C and 2, 3, 4... I know the APA ratings and similar, so numbered ratings (as long as I know the range) I can guess at. Does C, B, A (in whatever league might use that) really break down to 2-3, 4-5, and...

Had the first night of the house league we signed up for on Tuesday. I started out a little shaky, but got it together and beat a solid 4. I'd like some advice though... my wife plays on the same team as me in both of our leagues, and is truly a strong SL3, or even a week SL4. The problem is...

I HATE playing a SL2! No offense to them, and I have nothing against them... it is just stressful to me because every shot I have to start all over in planning my pattern since they general move everything around. There are definitely some exceptions, but usually those matches make me pull my...

I try to take full advantage of this. I'm worried I'll get bumped up because my 4 nights of winning have been 4-0, 3-0, 3-0, and 3-2 (3-5 race). Some have had high innings though, so we'll see tomorrow when the site is updated. My losses have been 3-0 and 5-0 though, so that's something. :wink...

Could you set up an area to serve the food and only allow it there? That forces people away from the table in order to eat. I've never seen your place, so I don't know if the layout would allow it. If you truly have mostly casual players, I wouldn't think this would really matter and they...

Another tough week for our APA team. We won 3 out of 5, but tied at 7 points each. We are still solidly in last place at the halfway point of the season. I had a stressful match. I (SL4) played a SL6 who was 5 of 6 this season. We were the last match of the night and he jumped out to a quick...
