    You-tube ripping us off must read

    Actually there are several that get paid based on views. All it takes is being a managed channel. What Goldy is failing to mention though when throwing out all those numbers are youtubers get no money for mobile views. Mobile views are from any smart phone or tablet so they only get paid for...

    VNEA Jumping rule or any other ruleset for that matter

    I tend to agree but that makes me wonder what if you used the mechanical bridge? I did post a picture of what I was talking about on Facebook and had someone say they are pretty sure it would be a foul in most rulesets also but I can't find a sure answer and I have to assume someone has tried it...

    Get rid of jump cues for Mosconi Cup

    It was a cool idea that you can only use the jump cue your first time at the table that inning ( meaning it was only if your opponent left you safe ) but then again I'm someone that couldn't care less if jump cues are in the game or out.

    Get rid of jump cues for Mosconi Cup

    This is one of the common arguments to get rid of it, but why do they jump instead of kick? I do think jumping is pretty easy if you are just trying for the hit but most of the good players I watch go for the jump cue because jumping gives them a better angle to actually make the ball rather...

    VNEA Jumping rule or any other ruleset for that matter

    I wonder if you're the one that showed the kid that showed me yesterday. :) I've never seen it done before but if it's legal I can see where it would come in handy.

    VNEA Jumping rule or any other ruleset for that matter

    Any others know of a rule in place? I wish there was a way to tag Jay on here as he might know lol. I'm really curious because after trying it this way it would be a nice tool to have in the bag rather than using an "air bridge."

    Why not AZB Road player for a year?

    If it was someone from AZB I would have no problem throwing a little money in but I'm probably not going to do it for people that aren't even members here.

    VNEA Jumping rule or any other ruleset for that matter

    Last night is the first time I've seen this and I question the legality of it because I feel it may fall into the "Misuse of equipment" rule. If you are going for a jump but need to bridge higher than normal is it legal to take your shooting cue, place it butt down on the table with the rest of...

    Get rid of jump cues for Mosconi Cup

    So you guys can't use break cues? I play with a soft tip on most of my cues, this would kill me lol. I have a jump cue, I use it when I have to. I'm not amazing at potting balls unless they are hangers but can normally get a hit unless they really lock me close and I pretty much suck. The only...

    Sick of watching players examining racks?

    I prefer templates after watching Turning Stone. You couldn't have players do it because some are friends and some aren't so well liked. I personally like Mike but there seems to be a lot that don't. Do you think he would always get a fair rack? What about if Karl came to the states to play...

    Send Mike Wong to Derby City

    Agreed, but somewhere in here Mike did say he would also accept a stake. There is no doubt you know more about these things then me but I agree there is a big difference between sponsor and staking someone. I've never staked a pool player and probably never will. If someone that commonly...

    Send Mike Wong to Derby City

    Agreed, that probably wasn't the best thing to post lol. But say Bartrum posted here that he found a big game but couldn't get a hold of his backer and asked for people to stake him I'm guessing the forum would be a bit more lax on that. I've seen a number of people coming here just to ask for...

    Send Mike Wong to Derby City

    I get what you're saying but it seems the only time Mike comes to AZB is to ask for something. I would think it would be a different story if it was someone like you who contributes on the forum. I would have no problem throwing some money at an AZB fund to send players to tournaments, that...

    Select Mosconi Cup members based on "prior year"

    It might give them a little more time to practice together when time permits but the key n that is as time permits. Mosconi is the biggest exhibition for us but with the ways pro's travel all over to play and other pros only play select events it would still be hard to nail down times. It would...

    Your Opinion - Simple 8 Ball Handicap System

    I don't like that a "C" player would only have to win one game and I know "letter" divisions are different everywhere but I think even C players play position. I've always heard it used by racks run around here. A "C" player might run an occasional rack, A "B" player runs around 1-10 or so and...
