More MR events in USA would generate more live fan attendance. How about Reno? SRO 2.0

Don't hike. Take the train, much nicer and more fun. :cool:

Tremendous talent. His break was simply awesome.

That was STRONG. Kaci took down SVB, Filler, and FSR. A true champion! 👏

Please NOT Jim Wych 😞

That must be why he's in last 16! LOL

Parica was awesome shot maker. Billy Incardona said the same thing and thought Sigel and Parica were in the same class.

Sigel. "No one shoots straighter than Mike Sigel." - Buddy Hall.

Well........I think Majors would have to include the International, Chinese Open for starters. Golf and Tennis have 4 Majors, but Pool is a bit more fluid. For years I didn't really think of the World 9Ball as a Major, but it's definitely a major now. I would love to see World 8 and 10 Ball...

Jay I did see him in his prime, and you're right when he was in the groove he was great. But when he wasn't - careless mistakes, whining, complaining, etc. Not my favorite player to watch.

And made lots of careless errors too! Look at Shaw at the end of the Morra match! I like the Chess Clock idea for Pool. Most players have good tempo and only take time on difficult shots or difficult decisions. Watch Melling - he has a good tempo, but takes his time when needed. Frankly...

Not sure I would agree. I saw him play before he "retired" and he was a good player but not in the Upper Echelon tier of players. He definitely was world class when it came to racking! :cool:

Reno would be perfect. Move the DCC and start Sands Regent II.

Jay thank you for all your contributions! The Sands Regent tournaments were an absolute joy to attend in person and also watch on Accu-Stats!

I don’t see “slow” play at all. If you are bothered by slow play, don’t watch the last 2 minutes of any NBA game! LOL

If you include Billiards, Worst maybe the best period.

"Reports that say that something hasn't happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns—the...

I think the other reason Sigel was so good were his "mentors." Clearly he possessed great talent, but polishing his 14.1 under Crane and his 9Ball Game under Larry Hubbard was a fantastic opportunity.

I never saw Sigel in the 80's. My first glimpse of Pool was the '91 World 9ball won by Earl over Varner. I was hooked. The next year they held the '92 US Open 14.1 in NYC and I went. I only knew Archer, MIz, Varner and Ray Martin from his book. The first day there, Im up in the balcony watching...

Well I love Efren, but how many times did he lose in the US Open Final? Sigel rarely if ever lost in the finals. Also, I think most players "shit their pants" when playing Earl because they were worried about him going on FULL tilt. LOL
