Jason played a guy named Denys Zbikowski in the 2:00pm round. We watched that, as it was almost next to the table where Moritz was playing Grayson Vaughn, and we could watch both. That might be what you're talking about, but Jason was also the same way with the 16 year old at 8:00pm. Both...

I watched one rack at the Turning Stone yesterday where the breaker sunk the 9 on the break, but the cue was spinning like crazy for about 10 more seconds. Wasn't moving, just spinning in place. Both players stood and watched it until it stopped, then started gathering the balls. Kind of...

Spent the day there yesterday. Looked for Stu, but didn't see him. We got there in time for the 10:00 round, a looser's side round, and I watched Dylan Spohr play a few times throughout the day, until he finally lost against Erik Hjorleifson in the 8:00pm round. He seemed to get a little down...

If you can find him in the streamed matches, check out Dylan Spohr. A young guy that plays pretty sporty.

We're heading up on Saturday. Looking forward to it. I read somewhere that Mike was able to secure the venue for the January 2027 event as well, so good until then.

I still have it, and I'll check that out. Thanks for the suggestion. It was making weird noises, much louder, but it worked so I ignored it. Then it got quiet again, but stopped working.

Funny story: Our microwave stopped working Monday night, put some stuff in there for a minute to heat, and it didn't heat. Of course I did that three more times with the same result. So off to our local appliance store the next morning for a replacement. It's a small, local place, I'm the...

Clever, and to the point. Back in my days working pharma development, my boss and the director of development were buddies, but clashed frequently on how the final reports for certain projects should be constructed. The director wanted the emphasis on how our department was able to resolve an...

A quick Ronnie Coleman story: I used to go to a gym in East Rutherford, NJ, called Strong and Shapely. It was owned by a guy named Bob Bonham, who was a promoter for a lot of bodybuilding events. The gym was a real iron gym, and a bit intimidating at first, but actually a great place to...

The Dynaspheres are a fantastic set, almost across their entire line. I had a Tungsten set, then upgraded to the Bronze set. The only difference was with the colors, both sets played fantastic. The Rhodium set seems to go with grey for the 6 and the 14 balls, instead of green, but I don't see...

There was a guy that used to shoot in one of the pistol leagues that I shot in. It was an outdoor league, we shot at a couple different ranges, and usually parked right near where the firing lines were located. In the summer, a lot of us would ride our motorcycles, and have our cased revolvers...

There are devices like this to place a golf ball on the rubber tee at driving ranges. You dump your basket of balls in the hopper, and they feed individually to an arm like the one pictured, and when you lower that arm with your club, the ball rolls down the ramp to the hole, which positions it...

That wasn't the case at this year's Ryder Cup in the US.

I like the Master's format, but my area doesn't have a Master's league either. I've played in a couple Master's tournaments with a couple friends from our league, and I believe that they treated those like qualifiers for the trip to Vegas, but it was in combination with one or two other...

I don't think there are skill levels in masters, everyone plays even. It's a mix of both 8 and 9 ball, and it's real 9 ball, not the ball count version, but no handicap, you just play a race to 7.

Is that a Raven?

What you probably did was to qualify for the "Vegas Qualifier", or "World Qualifier" which happens once each year prior to the Team Championships each August in Las Vegas. You probably won the Tri-Cup, or Tri-annual, whatever it's called in your area. And just as you, and the other players on...

Here is the team manual, which includes the game rules for both 8 ball and 9 ball: https://media.poolplayers.com/TMRB/Team-Manual-English.pdf Go to the bottom of Page 65, where it explains how to score for 9 ball. There, you will find this: Dead Balls: Record any balls not credited to either...

I thought so too. It puts me in mind of how Earl used to play when he was feeling it, lots of rails after every pot.
