I just saw your post, nice run! It's added to the 2025 table on the first post of this thread. Come join the 2026 thread now:)

Dumb question... I'm used to commercial tables since the 90's. I rarely recall a pocket ever failing on those. What happens with the home tables and people are often asking for pockets? The OP's table looks modern from perhaps the 1990's or 2000's, not a 100 year old antique. Do they wear out...

Club Med in New Holland might be the only one. I haven't been, but seen them run a few tournaments on FB. The last big room I remember was called Diamond Billiards in Lancaster. It closed up around 2005 or so. I used to go to that one for the Tim Scruggs tournaments. Had a lot of good players.

Too expensive;)

Before FargoRate, every weekly tournament I ever heard of used ball spots, not game spots. In my area it was a race to 5 in 9 ball. The range would be something like 0-10. 0 is the best player in the room, 10 is someone who can barely make a bridge and blasts at the 9 each shot. For each...

Proficient Billiards is in that area, and I think he does some sort of outdoor tent type tournament periodically. It's not a permanent setup, but it might coincide with one of your trips. I saw it on FB a few months back. I didn't go though.

Good point:) We do need to hear more to have any decent input, and probably a flyer/advertisement would help. I was quick to jump the gun there.

Was it on the calendar yet? You couldn't pay me a million dollars to go to the Middle East right now.

Here is an earlier idea I had. I hand sketched this one on my iPad while on a plane ride a couple years ago, and modeled it in the airport afterwards. I never printed it. This would just fit on a printer in one piece. I was thinking of something like this to screw to the Diamond frame/legs...

I liked white letters, but the owner wanted it more subdued, so we went with black. The room also has perimeter lights, so the whole area is fairly bright.

1 year later, I see more CF now than last year. I did not read the thread...

Bad TD in my opinion. *Edit, unless it was a low (499 range) capped event with min robustness.

I've run into this too a lot. Searching for my name gets a different result than the screen on my own page on the app. I guess the search gets updated first.

You have to manually do that? Do your players use the BCAPL app?

That's actually a really good idea (I think anyway).

Couple comments on Z's splitting... I've had the same issue. I had Z-1's, Z-2's, 314-1's (1" ferrule, pre-cats, post cats), 314-2's. (never had the -3's). Maybe 15 of them in total since 1999 when I got my first one. I might have had 5 or 6 split, from normal play, not abuse. Both Z's and 314's...

Nice video. I'm surprised the Revo was knocked off the top, by a brand I've never heard of, no less.

Awesome!

It's easier than getting them out of the ball tray the houseman gives you, because you can reach your fingers behind the ball. However, you do have to carry the balls a few at a time (or risk dropping if more) to get them back to the table.

No more fabrication for me:) I'd have SendCutSend do it, an online laser cutting sheetmetal vendor in Kentucky.
