Meh... Until APA can figure out how to get players properly ranked BEFORE tournaments, instead of ranking-out people, and entire teams, en masse, once they get there, I'm not convinced... Doesn't make playing (or even planning to play) worth the trouble. Sure, once you get there you can...

Appreciate the info. Sounds like for the price I should snap it up. I'll check what the dealio with Pech anyway and post here in case anyone else is curious. The butt weighs 13.44. With my CF shaft it's 17 on the nads.

I don't think gambling plays a very big role in the perception of pool. People who appreciate gambling will gamble on just about anything if conditions allow, pool and otherwise. Conversely, people who don't like gambling, won't.

Thanks - I suppose a little more info would be helpful. It IS signed. Uniloc joint. 6 points.

I'm trying to ID this cue to establish a baseline price between a buddy and I. I tried Pechauer's site without much luck. Any help is appreciated.

Like the concept but agree with others on the durability question.

Awesome vid. Nice job!

Looks quality made... Possibly slate... Would be a super cool novelty... But $5500... Let's see, a golf cart I've set my sights on, or a 3' pool table... hmmm lol YMMV

bwaaaaahahahahaha!

This seems to be the case in our league more often than not. It's my understanding that the consistency between scoresheets is "mandated"? Maybe eliminating this practice is a good place to start.

Fortunately for me, you don't represent the APA. Unfortunately for you, your intellect level has played-out well here over the course of the last couple pages. And it's not favorable, dumbass.

mia, I've touched on this already in this thread. That said, I WISH I had all the answers lol. I'm just saying situations like ours is a recurring theme, and something needs to change. For the betterment of the APA... "For starters, both teams turn in scoresheets. If Team-A's inning count has a...

What kind of ass backward cop out is this for doing your job, and properly ranking HONEST people BEFOREHAND! So they're not screwed over mid-tournament. You're pretty quick to accuse people you arbitrarily deem better than their SL as DISHONEST. Just WOW. Thanks "APA Operator"!!

If responding to me in crayon helps you see my answer, go for it. lol I answered your question for you in post #54... Never heard of it. However, admittedly, I may have signed one without knowing it. Let me take a wild guess, it says they "reserve the right to move your rank mid-tournament?"...

Our incident occurred during a "Team" event. It's in my original post... Apparently our LO, and everyone else, "doesn't know the rules", then. lol Unless you're simply saying, "they're allowed to do that". In which case, nobody is disputing that. I fully understand, but It's kinda beside the...

It makes sense, and it's the best explanation I've gotten yet. However, not practical in terms of knowing in advance if your team will be bounced from a tournament if you play well... Never heard of this and don't know how it applies to the issue, other than to serve as a warning that you...

Bingo, what? lol So, our options are: 1) Get DQ'd, (because your LO didn't have you properly ranked, in someone else's opinion) 2) Convince the APA to "completely overhaul their rating model." 3)?? How about the formula used for ratings so we, as players, can be pro-active about our ranks, and...

How do you know I haven't asked my league operator? His explanation is vague at best; "It's the computer". Every APA team I've met has at least one or two players who've sought an explanation, and the response is always the same... IT'S A GREAT MYSTERY... which makes it impossible to...

Not just Vegas. Local APA tournaments too. It's taken me a whole 8 months in the APA to figure out it's a common theme.

Where in the rulebook is a breakdown of their (arbitrary) ranking system? So we as players can understand when we should move ourselves up? To avoid getting screwed in the middle of the tournament? I'd be HAPPY to admit your cheap insults are warranted if you could refer us to a comprehensive...
