    No restrictions for the ladies amateur at SBE?

    I was checking the results and saw that Briana Miller won the Women's Division for the 3rd. consecutive year. The men are only allowed to win the amateur open once and they are restricted from future events permanently. This seems unfair. Perhaps someone can explain it to me? There are all...

    Rip Mike Ricciardella

    I heard about this during the PA State Bar Box Championship. Very sad indeed. Mike was a presence, loved to have fun and was always ready with a story or a joke. He loved the game and even worked with others to revive the flailing Planet Pool Tour for a while. He was a nice man and was always...

    Go easy on yourselves.

    Please explain what "spit the bit" means. I am guessing it has to do with horses?

    Go easy on yourselves.

    I will share something I learned about the game of pocket billiards, which most players already know. It is *not* like riding a bicycle. I have never played golf so I have no basis for comparison, but I will say that in order to be successful at this game you have to practice constantly...

    Adolini Family Billiards and the PA State Bar Box Event

    Kevin is a d*ck...I can't stand him! Seriously though, K-Dub works on his game DAILY. He does not have many places to play in Laurel, DE and he has to drive for hours to play in any regional event. This really hurt when they closed Breaktime Billiards in Salisbury and more recently, Great...

    Adolini Family Billiards and the PA State Bar Box Event

    Adolini's Family Billiards 236-254 W 9th St, Waynesboro, PA 17268 I attended this place for the first time yesterday and was very impressed. They hosted the PA State Bar Box Championship and got over 100 players! I did not fare well (0-2) but I played well (for me). I just ran into a couple...

    Tom Wirth: my friend

    I will admit to getting a cold chill when I saw the title of this thread because I thought he had died! Thank goodness for false alarms!

    Tom Wirth: my friend

    I met Tom years ago when USA Billiards in Laurel, MD first opened. He was a great guy then and is a great guy now. Always a gentleman, he always had a kind word, and his knowledge of the game is staggering. I got to see him play Grady Matthews, Allen Hopkins and many others, and I used to...

    Playing Good Players

    You do NOT have to pay to play! Every person is different. This is, in my opinion, one of the most important lessons, in pool and in life. Everyone (and I mean everyone) should be able to learn something from someone. I have seen countless situations where a below-average player did...

    Up'ing my Game - Advice

    I would recommend: (a) Begin playing pool outside of league. (b) Begin playing other games (9, 10, 14.1) (c) Avoid 1P for now. It will be too advanced for you. If you are only a 4/5 after 20 years it means you have a lot of room for improvement, and 1P is too big of a jump considering your...

    Where is best pool room in Maryland area?

    Quball (sp?) on Central Ave in DC I have heard about this place over the years but have never been. A friend told me recently that it is a great spot for 1P, and it is a "real" pool room. People normally refer to the place as "Central Avenue" but I think the name is Q-ball or Quball, not sure...

    My Trip to the Pool Hall Today

    I am very curious about who you beat up this way. I will understand if you don't want to name them here but when I next show up at your event at Bank Shot hopefully you will tell me.

    What happened to Chris Comstock?

    He was a very strong player out of the MD/VA area. Back in the 90s and early 2000s he could be found gambling for big $$$, sometimes with Danny Green at various rooms. What happened to him?

    What enhances your game?

    Rammstein... ...on the jukebox. Seriously though, being able to focus and feeling physically comfortable while playing (feet, legs, back don't hurt) helps me to play better.

    Why can't we just respectfully disagree... ...instead of attacking the OP? This is a forum to express yourself and share opinions, is it not? Name-calling etc. serves no useful purpose.

    2016 US Open 9 ball/ 9ft (16-22 Oct2016) Norfolk, Virginia (Winner $50K)

    Chrome makes no difference Trying unsuccessfully to watch Can vs. Souquet and it is freezing constantly. I would criticize but the self-appointed Forum Police may issue a warrant for my beatdown.
