    Does #1 on WPBA tour mean anything anymore?

    It seems like every other tournament, who's #1 changes on the WPBA tour. With all the rule changes and ranking system change, it seems the WPBA is determined to have a rotation of players at the top of the list. I understand the need for parity, but I think parity is already artificial thanks...

    How'd they do that?

    I'm watching O'Sullivan/Liang now, and I haven't watched live snooker since last year. How are they doing the 3-D rotational effect of the table and balls on a live match? That's by far the coolest production effect I've ever seen for cue sports. -djb

    DCP's gone?

    I've been out for a while - finally had surgery on my shoulder. I noticed there weren't any DCP threads, so I looked up his screen name, and lo and behold, I see he's banned! Anybody want to fill me in? -djb

    ESPN Coverage Getting Better?

    I've watched the last two airings of the Pro Tour Championship on ESPN, and I have to admit, I think the coverage is getting better. Mitch is making better comments (not asking stupid simple questions) and the color commentators (Kim Davenport and Rodney Morris in the matches I saw) are adding...

    How would an American fare in the Philippines?

    I saw a post in Jamie's Corey Deuel thread that prompted this thought. Let's say a top American player had a $100k stake and traveled to the Philippines. How would that player do? I'm talking about ANY top American player, like Corey, Johnny, Rodney, Earl, etc. We hear all the time about...

    Adjusting to the conditions

    There's a good article posted on BD's site: http://www.billiardsdigest.com/current_issue/may_07/20_min.pdf concerning tips and tricks to help adjust to the way a table plays. Some of them, like the corner 5 shot, lag, and shooting straight-in shots, I already do. Some of them make sense, and...

    IPT: Any 2nd chance possible?

    One of the many excuses/reasons KT gave for the IPT's failure was the passage of laws against Internet gambling. Do you think anybody would give the IPT a 2nd chance if the ban were lifted? -djb

    Finals - Souquet vs. Alcano

    Alcano is up 3-0 right now, and his soft break is still working great. Souquet made a not-so-great safety in rack 1, and played bad position in rack 3. Alcano just played bad shape on the 4, and lucked into a good defensive position. Ralf is playing a half-ball hit safety, and has a full-ball...

    Pool School - Randy Gottlicher & Scott Lee

    I've been giving lessons off and on for the last few years, and I've been an instructor/mentor/tutor of some type (algebra, calculus, physics, chemistry, Information Technology) since I was 15. I decided to get serious about giving pool lessons a few months ago, and when I checked around about...

    Seedings and byes

    As usual, Barry has seeded the top 32 players. In most sports tournaments (golf, tennis, football, baseball, etc.), higher seeds are rewarded by giving them byes. It looks to me like byes were randomly placed on the board. This makes no sense to me - the purpose of a seed is to give the...

    Carolinas Open

    Anybody making it down to Goldsboro, NC for the event? I know one-hole is already going on - anybody playing in the 9-ball? I played last year (tied for 17th), but I'm still getting over a broken collarbone now. If anybody has any updates or info, it's greatly appreciated. -djb

    Congratulations to Jimmy M!

    Jimmy M. placed 2nd at the Arizona BCA State Championships. Read all about it here. In the past, I know some AZB'ers have sponsored a few players for the US Open. Is this going to be done again this year? If so, I'd like to proudly nominate Jimmy as one of those to be sponsored. Anybody...

    I'll Tell You What's Wrong With Grady Mathews

    Grady is looking out for Grady, plain and simple. This latest spat over the 14.1 World Championships has nothing to do with what's good for pool or fans, only what's good for Grady. If a promoter does an invitational tournament and doesn't invite Grady, then the tournament and the promoter can...
