It appears in Cotton's "The Compleat Gamester" from 1674. So far as I know, it has been in every written set of rules since. No table owner wanted the clients/guests climbing on it.

Cue ball center towards the contact point hits the object ball twice as full as needed. I hope this is obvious to all.

Fedor has only 8000 points on the one-year ranking list towards Mosconi Cup qualification.

On Table 4, there is a Vietnamese player and they have Vietnamese commentators. I think that's a nice addition since there are normally commentators only on the main table.

It looks like it's also possible to have the path: short rail, ball 2, long rail, ball 3. I think in fact the shot was good, but there is that other possibility that the ref has to be prepared for.

I don't think I get any spam due to signing up. I might get some early ticket offers.

For those of you on wnttv.com for the streams, are today's streams available anywhere? Usually they are available within an hour. All I can find for the UK Open is 2025.

There are still tickets left for all four days. The link just above still works. The US side (RED) is a lot fuller, so you may have to sit on the BLUE side. Strangely, the final day, when the US will complete its amazing comeback and win hill-hill, still has lots of tickets.

A note about reserving at the Embassy Suites... On the Matchroom event page for the Open, when you click through for the hotel, the hotel suggests that you sign up for "Hilton Honors" membership. It looks like that saves you a total of $50/night.

It seems that there is no direct flight from New Orleans to London, so he was looking at 12 hours on planes, and could have arrived in London at 7AM or so to play at 7PM.

And I think at least thousands of balls are needed for understanding or getting a feel for bank shots, but it also helps to know what the balls are doing and what changes the lines -- cloth, rails, speed, spin, cut angle, .... For some people, it helps to experiment with banks on the practice...

I think that one thing that makes it better in this case is that we knew who had half of Evan. Fedor did not hide that. I think any time the Calcutta is as big as or larger than the regular prize fund, problems -- or at least suspicions -- will occur. I wonder if Fedor had all of Fedor.

Is there any chance a federal prosecutor would care?

We need more nature stuff around here. Did you know "When threatened, horned lizards shoot blood from their eyes as a defense mechanism"? Amazing. Here's how that works:

That's true if the tournament has a schedule. Players expect to leave Monday morning. There are fixes, and I think the TD has to be ready when a match goes beyond a tolerable length to implement one of those fixes. Seven hours is a long match, but there was a match at DCC that went seven and a...

Here's the AZB article. Pretty interesting. https://www.azbilliards.com/syed-usman-goes-undefeated-unscored-upon-to-win-ussa-tn-state-snooker-championships/

I wonder if he has ever played one pocket before. Damn Estonian, taking our money.

That, there is worrisome. As long as you keep paying for my social security, I think I'll be OK, though. A previous bubble that seems similar was: In March 2000, Cisco Systems became the world's most valuable company with a market cap of over $550 billion. Acting as the vital internet...

I had no idea that Tweeten made a twenty-dollar tip.

Since few people here have ever researched a technical topic, you might consider giving us an overview of what people have discovered in the last 40 or so years.
