    I went looking for the price on Aramith Tournament "Black" balls, with the black caps. Here you go:

    EUROPEAN OPEN 2026, Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, March 10-15

    Moritz showed some serious nerves the last couple of racks, but got through on fundamentals. He seemed to be waiting for the beeps to trigger his shot on nearly every shot at the end. The missed 5 ball in the last rack on the beeps was purely from pressure.

    EUROPEAN OPEN 2026, Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, March 10-15

    I used to have a "world clock" site bookmarked, but now a simple search on "current time in Sarajevo" works. Future times are still a problem. And there's Arizona.

    The BCA recognizes high run records and has since its founding. Lots of people consider that official.

    The way the run ended could make you break your cue stick.

    Less than four hours for 820. That's about Mosconi's pace, which was pretty quick, but not quite as fast as Jayson.

    I believe he was offering a prize in exchange for commercialization rights.

    In the official 1890 rules, you were allowed to shoot into a frozen ball. At the same time, you were permitted to shoot away and get credit for the hit, as at snooker. By 1925, the rule was changed and you did not get credit for a hit if you shot away. You were still allowed to shoot towards a...

    Have you read Byrne and worked/practiced with the shots he suggests? Mostly, you have to develop a feel for them. There are a lot of variables.

    Controversial European Open Push Shot Call – The Myths Busted

    Such a rule would be surprising but not a disaster. The most common use would probably be like some snooker safes -- shoot away from the frozen ball to freeze the cue ball on the back of a distant ball. Does UP have a 10-ball division?

    Filler ran 285 on a 4.5" Diamond. On the same day, Orcullo ran 260 on a 4.25" Diamond. (Diamond had meant for all the 14.1 tables to be 4.5", but two of them had the smaller pockets.) Here is the video of Filler's 285 run:
