    Chess clocks solve everything...I think

    This is a chess clock - You set each side to half the allotted time of the match. When your turn at the table is over you hit your side to stop your clock and start your opponents. Take as long as you want on a particular shot, it's up to you to budget your allotted match time. If...

    I saw something about a farewell tour. Anyone have the details? Sad news. I get it, his age, but still sad news.

    Looking up Fargo ratings for multiple players are a time

    I need to look up Fargo ratings for a couple thousand people and I only know of how to look them up one at a time via the app. It's going to take me 15-20 hours. Does anyone know a way to get a bulk export or lookup multiple players at a time? I've asked Mike Page but haven't heard back yet...

    What's up with 9-ball template racks?

    Am I doing something wrong or what? All template racks I use (Magic rack, CSI's template, Turtle rack...), have issues with getting all the balls touching completely and leaving little gaps. I've been trying the super-soft break recently (just to see if I can do it, let's leave that debate...

    Looks like starter Fargo ratings just jumped from 525 to 625 for me and a bunch of people I know with less than 200 games. Anyone know what's up? Mike Page?

    How to submit data to Fargorate

    Does anyone have the details on how to submit tournament matches to Fargorate? I can't find it on their website. Also - how long does it take from the time you send it to the time the players' ratings get updated? Thanks.

    Robin Dreyer review

    I've been taking lessons from Robin for about 9 months now. Outstanding instructor. If you live in Portland, Oregon area, or want to travel in - you want to get a lesson from this guy. Recommend him for beginner through very advanced. I'm a decent player (APA lower 7/9 level) but I know...

    What's wrong with my table?

    It's an Olhausen Americana, 7 ft. I had the rail rubber replaced with K55, the pockets tighter down to 4 1/4, and Simonis 860 HR out on it. Looks beautiful, plays slow as hell. It's in a garage in Portland, OR. Weather is between 60-80 F these days and humidity doesn't seem to matter in that it...

    Pool's "image"

    When John Shmoe plays pool (8 ball, call shot)...does he wear a suit? No, he wears bar attire typically. Maybe he's with a lady he wants to impress and has a nicer shirt on, but mainly it's casual dress. When Jane Shmoe plays pool does she dress conservatively? Does she make sure not to...
