Notice the parentheses around the secret in my last post. I was referring to cardiac kid's statement about the APA being tight lipped about the decimal system. Sorry for being ignorant. My freaking bad.

I never knew about the "secret" decimal rating in APA. Sounds like a conspiracy :wink: You're right about there being no system to fairly rate players. For example, in our league, there is one bar that plays on 8 footers, while the rest play on bar boxes. Their team name I believe is L&W...

I agree with your comment on the weak handicapping system in APA. There are monster 7s and then there are 7s like me who struggle to compete with the monsters. There should be a decimal rating system based on games won,innings,and other statistics to further differentiate players of different...

I would love to play in a BCA pool league if it was available in my area. I consider it far superior in terms of handicapping and challenge.

I'm not saying penalize him and forbid him from ever playing APA. I'm just suggesting that the APA handicap system is not accurate enough. I was recently bumped up from a SL6 to a SL7 in 8-ball. I usually have one break and run per match and have never broke and ran more than one rack...

Great post. I think he's a hell of a player and I'm sure he's a great guy. It's nothing personal what I said about him. I just think APA should review the handicap system and potentially alter it or create a new division like the Masters.

No he is not sandbagging but he is the gray area between a pro and a top amateur.

I agree with you about the Masters. I believe there should be a division for higher caliber players such as him. For example, I have been a 6 for a long time in 8 ball and I just moved to an 7 before this weekend. I have only been playing pool seriously for a little over 5 years. I had not been...

His name is Jeff Crawford and he is from the Atlanta area I believe. He is thought to be the best or at the very least one of the best league players in Atlanta, according another top player in Atlanta I know and trust personally.

Here is what I found from the following link concerning pro players in APA: 32. NO PROFESSIONAL PLAYERS ALLOWED This League is intended for amateurs, and the APA reserves the right to reject or cancel the memberships of those individuals whom the APA deems to be professionals. The APA has a...

I know many of you have different views on APA but I would like to ask for an honest opinion on a matter I ran into recently. This weekend I participated in one of the Singles Regionals qualifiers for the National Singles tournament. Many of the players were from around the Atlanta area and one...

I am looking for a copy of TAR 20 with Earl and Shane playing on the 10 footer. I saw where Justin was selling off the last of his copies but unfortunately I was unable to snag one. Please email me if you have a copy or know of anyone who has one. Thanks!

Sorry if this has already been asked or addressed but I am curious if the any pro snooker players in the U.K. or other European countries have matched up and played for any significant amount of money? If so for how much and what was the race and format? Thanks in advance!

Whether or not Dennis did or did not get a rail on that shot does not matter. What matters is that Mike did not call Ken to come watch the shot; therefore Ken cannot make a judgement call from the booth. In my opinion, I don't believe Dennis got a rail after contacting the 6 ball but it was...

Radial JPs set found. Thanks everyone for your replies!

I kinda know what you mean. One of the better local pool halls in my area needed their tables refelted bad and so far 1 of 3 have been done. It plays a million times better. You used to be able to pinch the cloth and pull the cloth well above the top of the rails. My one gripe is that they were...

Still looking for a radial joint protector.

I am looking for a joint protector for the butt of my Dayton cue with a radial pin and also for a set of joint protectors for the butt and shaft of my Mezz Power Break 2. Email me at bazkook69@yahoo.com for faster reply. The Mezz has a "united joint" system. I would like to see if anyone on the...

I'm interested also if it hasn't sold by now,which is highly unlikely.
