I was going to say a mechanic shirt. They're real popular in some other activities where most participants and practitioners aren't sporting a six-pack anymore. I kind of like a mechanic shirt type fit, except that in a lot of tournaments, anything, even loose clothing touching a ball, is a...

I'm with Fatboy on this, no strong feelings either way. I'm noticing that a great many of the people that play in the MVP and TriCups in our APA league have these now. Not really a sponsor thing, just a fancy pool shirt with their name on it. There are some teams that have them, which is...

Let us know how you like it when you get it, and maybe again after playing with it for a while.

It is a fun format, and definitely does have a lighter feel. One of the local bar/clubs in the area has a table that can get busy on weekends. A few locals will play, and it's often a place where people bring their own cue to play as there's good competition there. More often than not, it...

Can't get this to post like I see the other ones posted, but for a lot of us, relatable.

I think that is a good way to handle a repeating tournament for what are probably locals and the "regulars" at a tournament like this. If this bigger tournament is usually sold out early, then offering refunds should be offered by a deadline date. Pretty much every professional has a similar...

We had our MVP tournaments for both 8 and 9 ball this weekend. My GF and I made it for both formats. Eight ball had more people overall, since most leagues are in that format, and that one was Saturday. I won my first match against a guy from my own league, then lost to a guy that works for...

I had a set of the Tungsten balls and liked them, but the colors aren't "traditional". Bought a set of the Bronze balls, and donated the Tungsten balls to a local friend's oversized garage bar and man cave, for when he runs his invitation only tournaments. They still have them on his table...

I think we have similar girlfriends Rusty. We went to Niagara Falls a few years back, and I reserved a table in the Skylon Tower for dinner one night. She stood in the back of the elevator and faced the wall on the way up, and wouldn't sit next to the window in that rotating restaurant. She...

I think you'll win the "crappy weather" contest Rusty, but lots of that is relative. When it gets that cold, nothing wants to work right, including a few of my extremities. I've been out hunting in really cold conditions like yours, where I just walked around in order to stay warm. When it's...

Any league, or other organized competition using standardized rules, will say that you call ball and pocket, so you'd be fine. You didn't say if it was a hypothetical league though, so maybe it's just bar pool in your scenario. Some places play that the 8 "must go clean", and some want you to...

I'm in Sharon, NY, which is kind of midway between Amsterdam and Cooperstown.

Stock up on toilet paper.

We had a side event at one tournament where it was just break and make a ball. All racked their own, and as long as you made a ball on the break, you went to the next round, but break dry and you're out. Entry was either $3 or $5, so just about everyone went in. They had a list of everyone...

We're four weeks in to our new APA session. We play both 8 and 9 ball. I'm one win for the three matches I've played in each format, so not a great start. The 8 ball team is a good group and we all get along well. We have a range of players, three 3s, a 4, a 5, and two 6s. I try to keep...

I put the glove on and washed it like I was washing my hands in the sink. I used a little bit of Dawn. Couldn't believe how much chalk dust was in that thing. It was a Navy Blue glove, so it didn't look discolored, but after washing twice with it on my hand, I took it off and kept washing and...

I know a few people that have had lessons, and have had some cue work done by Dragon Billiards. Kim has set up some equipment at a pool hall in Rome, NY when we had Tri-Cups there. I've also watched, from a distance, as he gave lessons to a few people at that same location. While not trying...

Thank You!
