Does anyone know an algorithm to determine straight pool handicaps? Hi. I'm running a straight-pool league. Obviously, there aren't "teams", it's just every-person-for-themselves. I don't have a way to determine handicaps -- the guy I'm running it with is pretty good at eyeing people up, but...

For people who practice on terrible tables and compete on nice ones, or pros that have to play in a ton of different environments: how do you deal with it? I just moved to a new city, and in the part of the city where I live (South Side / Southern 'burbs), the pool halls are terrible. Bad...

Does such a case exist? And even better be able to hold three cues (regular, break, jump). The only one I could find on the interwebs was an Aramith case which didn't meet criteria 2 (stuff). The Predator Urbain 3x5 might be able to hold a set of balls, but you'd have to jimmy-rig it -- it's...
