    Tournament Software

    The Cuesports Tournament System (CTS) that is used in CSI events is the best I have seen and used. It posts to the internet and does everything a tournament director needs to run large events.

    who is tor lowery

    Tor used to play pretty good some years ago when he lived in Portland, Oregon. I have heard many complaints in recent years about his content being ripped off from other instructors. Hope that isn't the case.

    Great article about Earl and Scooter

    Great article on the match from Derby City. I was there that night and it was incredible to watch. There were so many spectators in the Action Room that other players had to suspend their matches or go in search of another table.

    CSI / Rodney Morris - Silver Lining

    Rodney himself says he is living day to day. Then he has to find someone to put him in the tournament (obviously had trouble doing that or could've happened before the late fees kicked in). Now says he is going to do his own events? With what/who's money? Mark Griffin put in close to...

    Espn style highlights for bonus ball.

    Since it was on ESPN 3, too bad they don't give it a little coverage on SportsCenter.

    8 Ball New Rule?

    What's wrong with the breaker having an advantage in 8 Ball? They also have the advantage in 9 Ball, 10 Ball and One Pocket. Are you wanting to change those rules too? I like to see racks being run, it is a sign of good decision making and skill. Why try to insert more luck good or bad into...

    TAR Match Idea

    Tar 14.1 How about a TAR match featuring two 400+ ball runners. I would love to see a Race to 500 featuring Thorston Hohman and John Schmitt. I think there might be a good market for this match up as it seems Straight Pool has made a bit of a comeback in recent years and many Straight Pool...

    The Thinking On Bigfoot Slop

    That table was one of the very same ones used in Tunica.

    DCC - Louie Roberts Action & Entertainment 2014

    Danny Smith - He should have won it last year. Again this year, he was in the Action Room every day and every night, playing anyone in whatever game they wanted. Billy Thornton and Richie Richeson should also get consideration.

    Strickland/Reyes Match

    8 Ball played by the pros should be on a bar table. More clusters to deal with and tighter patterns have to be played. They still will run out a lot, but it is way more educational and fun to watch.

    Kudos to Earl Strickland

    Earl must have been winning. Earl is often a gracvous winner, complementing his opponent. It is when things are not going well for Earl that he turns into the rude, borish, bad sportsman that so many of us find offensive. Earl's talent has never been in question. It is his behavior that has...

    Earl is a disgrace!

    If it's an honorable death he wants... Let's give it to him. Would much rather see young players like Landon Shuffett, Justin Hall and Brandon Shuff on the Mosconi Cup team.

    The Problem with USA Mosconi Cup Team

    The other part of the problem is the young American players are more gamblers than tournament players. Guys like Justin Bergman Chip Compton, Joey Gray, etc. Europe has guys who only play tournament pool and won't bet a nickel. Not good for USA when Mosconi Cup comes around. The pressure is...

    The Problem with USA Mosconi Cup Team

    The USA continues to grasp to our past success. Players like Earl Strickland and Johnny Archer were once great champions. But this is NOT the 1990s. Europe's Team is primarily made up of young champions and up and coming players who have been tested in tournaments all over the world. The USA...

    Earl is a disgrace!

    Earl is a disgrace! This notion he is misunderstood is BULLSHIT! He is disrespectful to his teammates, his opponents and the game he loves. It is time people quit making excuses for him. He brings the rest of the team down. As an American, I am embarrassed that he is on our team. Plus, he...

    Cyclop Balls

    I really like the way they play. They don't seem to skid as bad as the Aramith balls and they do stay cleaner longer, especially don't seem to pick up the black marks from the Diamond pockets as bad as the Aramith balls did. I think they play more like the Brunwick Cennenials which I preger to...

    AZB Pool Tournament at BCAPL in Vegas!

    Sounds like fun Do we have to sign up now or will on-site sign ups be accepted? I would suggest playing 10 ball, using BCAPL rules as this is being held at the BCAPL National Championships. Looking forward to seeing everyone, whether I am able to play or not.

    TAR 34 SVB/Efren 8 Ball: Open After Break or Make It Take It?

    Making the players shoot their balls in rotation would make the game more boring to watch than One Pocket. Players would just keep playing safe as only have to hide from 1 ball. Leave the game alone. I for one love to see great pool and packages being run by the greatest players in the world...

    Best way to practice 8 ball

    I play a practice game called Straight 8 Ball. It is a game found in the PAT (Player Ability Testing) books and it has really helped my game. You break and run either stripes or solids until you miss. That is the score for that inning. A break & run keeps your inning going. The break is a...
