General admission works fine. Go to the registration desk (you can't fail to find this - it's by the entrance to the main hall). Pay $15 and you get a wristband. You can then go and watch any games you want all day long - including the tables and money room upstairs. The main TV table (where...

Players aren't allowed to drink (or smoke) on stage nowadays. Not like back in the day - that was when darts really was a sport! This past PDC world championship was live on Peacock in the USA (and as mentioned in the original post - some games were shown delayed on NBC). Still way more...

Yes they normally both do well in 1P and Banks. Often winning them. It puts them right up in my estimation. They are far from just brilliant 9/10 ball one-trick ponies. Often beating people who pretty much only play 1P - plus on a table in a room full of other tables in front of a handful of...

The Derby City Classic is on from Jan 23 - Jan 31. Both Joshua Filler and Fedor Gorst normally go deep in the 1P tournament so there's always a good chance they'll play each other. DCC is usually billed as being in Louisville, KY - but it's actually held at Caesars Southern Indiana, 11999...

Anyone know roughly what Savannah Easton makes off her various social media pages? Thought she/her family/advisors were quite clued up. She became 'front page' - was given a memorable nickname (that is often used instead of her real name) - and they acted quickly to milk it. No problem with...

Has anyone got into the carbon fiber custom cue market yet? There must be some way to make them non-black in color. Glue on some (fake) turquoise to a standard butt and there you go. Someone will pay you 6 grand for it.

Enjoy. "Looking to pick up a new custom cue" - definitely go prepared with some idea as to what exactly you are looking for. There are normally loads of custom cues on display/available to purchase. Narrowing it down to which one you'd buy may not be that easy. A nice problem to have... One...

Lots of drama queens on here. The USA team are all world class players. Numerous major titles between them. They aren't a bunch of randoms from some bar. Play the Mosconi every week until a team wins 50 times. I bet both teams would get 40+ wins. As enjoyable as it is seeing the Kansas City...

Paramedic - I'm currently in a race to 10 for $5 (quite a bit for the early 70's). I'm 8-2 down. Can your guys have a word please. Paramedic miraculously wins 10-8. (great story - you painted the picture well)

9 ball. You're 5-4 up. Opponent misses the 7 and leaves an easy 7/8/9 run-out. He clearly says 'well that's 6-4 to you then'. So you pick the balls up and start racking them because he verbally conceded. He (obviously) claims that he didn't really concede - but also he should have kept his...

I've got a problem... I keep thinking that I'm a billiard ball. I went to the doctor and he told me to get to the end of the cue.

That was a great read. Hopefully you'll do some more tournament reports in the future. >> to the incredibly unique food situation in Zhijiang, to the oddities of visiting a small Chinese town as a Chinese-American << Wish you had included some stuff on this though. Would love to know more.

Anyone under 21 that enters the 9 ball tournament will probably be a fairly good player. 1P and banks - do under 21's even know what they are?

I'm against a dress-code. If a player is effortlessly running the table wearing flip-flops, shorts & a ripped t-shirt then so what? Who exactly would be put off of pool by this? If anything - it would probably appeal more to a casual to see players wearing what they wanted. Would give the...

I can definitely see something like that happening. To start with it would probably just be a cue ball that detects movement and talks to a shot clock. No fancy lights involved. Clock would def need a silent mode for a room with multiple tables. beep! beep! beep! beep! beep! In 100 years time I...

If you're a 740 or a 770 it doesn't make that much difference. You're a damn good player. Full stop.

Thanks. I guess that currently rules out most TAP leagues from reporting to Fargo... Who knows - in 10 years time all the various leagues might have a 'report to Fargo' button in their software. Stranger things have happened.

Fast forward to Aug 2025... I know by default that they don't - but has anyone ever played in a TAP league that reports to Fargo? Is it possible?

One day players like Ronnie O'Sullivan will learn that using the open bridge for 100% of your shots means that you are a poor player - and adjust accordingly...
