    For format of the CSI ten-ball was complete rubbish.

    Like it or not, we've evolved into an 'instant gratification', on-demand species, with short attention spans. We live inside the corridors of a constant virtual mall, and every ten feet something new is vying for our attention. This shift becomes even more profound with each new generation...

    For format of the CSI ten-ball was complete rubbish.

    I say, the more tournaments the better. The more formats/variations, the better. The more people that pool appeals to, the better. Something for everyone. Nobody has to like EVERY format. Personally, I think arbitrary races to twenty-five hundred that take 4 days are like watching paint dry...

    Meh. Someone just needs to find out if any of those sign girls in-between boxing rounds knows how to rack.

    For format of the CSI ten-ball was complete rubbish.

    You and SJM should pool all your money and start a conflicting tournament that pays more because you don't like this format.

    Nobody is saying Predator dis-allows them to play in events not sponsored by them.

    For format of the CSI ten-ball was complete rubbish.

    So top players who are sponsored by Predator are going to boycott their own sponsors event? Good luck with that.

    For format of the CSI ten-ball was complete rubbish.

    No way a player boycott works even if ALL the players agreed with you (which they don't). Some of the top players would be contractually obligated regardless. Then there's your so-called dead money players, who certainly won't boycott because they feel like this format increases their odds (and...

    For format of the CSI ten-ball was complete rubbish.

    It sounds like you're calling for a player boycott of this event. Good luck with all that... First things first, you'd need all the players to agree with you. Worthless and laughable endeavor if serious, trying to get the players to boycott a big sponsor's event.

    For format of the CSI ten-ball was complete rubbish.

    I really liked the format from a fan/spectator/watch-ability standpoint. Watching a bunch of different players in short races was far more entertaining than watching the same two guys drone about all day in an arbitrary race to fifteen-thousand, sometimes for days. I think they're on to...

    Straight Pool on a 7' Table?

    Just curious if anyone does this? Your rules, etc. I was messing around with this last night and the number of balls tied up and/or blocking lanes on a 7' is likely to be insurmountable in short order, for even the highest of skilled shooters. I switched to racking 10 (9 after the first...

    New Predator Table

    I will sell my Diamond and buy one *when* the majority of my league(s) and tournaments use them. In my MSP suburb, our establishments are at roughly 94% Diamond, 6% Valley.

    Where is the Best Action in the US at this moment?

    Within say, a 50 mile radius. Where would you go? I'm not talking about only pro caliber players, necassarily, but rather, various degrees of skill, who are willing to gamble? Which part(s) of the country is the hot right now?

    Jump sticks have changed the game

    effs up cloth. Not an issue if you're only buying the cheap stuff, I suppose. Even better if someone else is paying for it. I quickly found out that my own simonis is not the place to learn/practice jumping. There's a bar owner in town that's a real butthead. I usually pursue my jumping...

    You think I should have a garage sale?

    Garage sale is A LOT of work. Like, multiply the worst you can possibly imagine by AT LEAST 2. To be honest, that picture isn't remotely worth the trouble. Give it all away, then reward yourself for saving two days of your life by spending an entire day doing whatever you want. If that's a...
