can someone give me the translation for start times? From what I'm reading I take it that the start times are Local to the tournament. So, a translation please? What's the time difference between their time and Eastern Time (USA)??

I have retired a cue and would love to display it in my pool room. I keep thinking that a shadow box, with the butt and shaft(s) would be the answer, but I can't find anything like that in my interwebs searches. I'm not handy enough to make my own, so that's out. any suggestions? What have...

Quite a few years ago, I stumbled upon a persons blog, Part of which was documentation on his journeys in the world of Pocket Billiards. One page that has always stuck with me was his variation on playing the ghost (He called it "Playing God")... Safties were / are addressed. Take a look...

I know this is a pool/billiards related website, and if this breaks the rules then I understand why it would be deleted. However, it is a post about a very well known company in the pool/billiards community. That company being Brunswick. This past Friday morning, 170 (+/-) employees of...

Ever since I inherited the contents of my Grandfathers pool room (That's the 2 of us, shooting on his table, in my avatar), I've wanted to convert one of the cues that I and the other 18 grandkids used as kids when we would visit. Right before Thanksgiving 2018, I decided to go ahead and...

United Billiard Leagues - Your Opinions? If this has already been discussed, I appologize. A fellow pool player approached me last night about joining a new (upcoming) pool league to the area. He sang the praises of this league that it's the highest paying league ever... yada yada yada...

After spending 15 years in a Indianapolis Indiana, a little over a year ago I moved back home to a very small town in Southwestern Indiana (for you history buffs, the home of William Henry Harrison and the Capitol of the Northwest territory). For 13 months I had a hard time finding anywhere...

Since I've not seen a "home room" thread for a while, I thought I would share what I've been up to since I moved a year ago. When I took my new job, I had 2 stipulations about where I would live. (aside from the assumed indoor plumbing et. al...). 1. My dogs had to have a place to run...

A little over a year ago, I purchased and installed Simonis 860 on my table. The cloth is still in very good condition. A little over a month ago I was offered a chance to leave the job I'm in (no I didn't get fired) and move closer to my family. So, My question is, have you ever attempted to...

It's been a while since I posted here, but for some reason I felt the need to share this. Since I've moved into the house i'm in now, I've had to use the Garage for double duty, one as a Garage and the other as a place to play pool.. aka pool room. The biggest issue I've had is that during...

Just as soon as the temperatures here in Indiana start to rise, I'm going to have some of my acquaintances over to my house for some food and to unveil the newly upgraded playing surface on my table (another thread, another time). As part of the evening I'm contemplating having a small...

Since I inherited and moved my grandfathers pool table a few years ago.. I've been asking around for photographs of the table with family members at or around it. This is my mothers family... She had 3 brothers and 1 sister, which in turn provided my grandparents with 18 grand children. So...

I've been wanting to have this done for quite a while... Decided I'd been a good boy all year and deserved a Christmas present. I've not had a chance to shoot with it yet, but I'm more than please with the work. Work done by www.sicklescustomcues.com

If this has been discussed, I appologize but for some reason I can't master the search function in this forum. (A search for home league returned 200+ results) It is becoming pretty normal for 4 to 6 people to show up at my place one night a week for "billiards and beverages". The normal...

- Brunswick Regina Table - Drop Pockets, Number 6 irons. I'm not at home to look at my pockets, but I am pondering over the decision to either replace the entire pockets or save myself a few (hundred) dollars and just replace the nets. Can somebody tell me what goes into replacing the nets...

I know for a fact that there used to be a thread on here where people were posting photo's from old pool rooms. and pool rooms from around the world. I've used the search feature but am having zero luck. If you know where it is, I've got a whole Friday at work to kill.. :) images from that...

let me prefix this with a disclaimer. I'm a league player... end of story. I don't profess to be good, I just enjoy the game on my own conditions. This past Thursday I was playing in a TAP league (8-ball). I'm a 4, I was playing a 3. I was admittedly playing to my opponents weaknesses in...

as you all know, I've been trying to find information on my Schon since I purchased it. With very little success. I found one photo of it online but the website owner's only recollection of the cue is that they had it, then sold it. (I know it's close to the current STL-19 with the exception...

My wife and I were "Antiquing" this weekend. I was looking at a wall full of things and told my wife "I know there is something in this spot that I'm interested in but I just can't find it." and then, after she walked away, there it was. In the corner up by the rafters... a close up of the...

I found out yesterday that my wife will be out of town all day Saturday (Jan. 18). Having said that, I may be able to pack a lunch and scrape together the gas money to make the drive down to the DCC for the day Saturday. If this does happen, can a guy enter the AzRoom w/out a paid membership...
