I missed the last 2 years in Las Vegas but have my calendar blocked out for end of February next year. I noticed the UMB has a World Cup on their schedule in Bogata, Colombia at that time. Anyone else hear news that the Rio event has been cancelled?

I’m trying to plan events/vacations for the next 8-10 months. Is there any information about the Verhoeven Open? Thanks.

I seem to remember a 9 ball event at the DCC with Ralf Souquet going to 3 or 4 in the morning? Will this year’s DCC take the record?

I’m temporarily out of work and my buddy will be furloughed the first week of June. God willing, the virus will be on the run by then. We’ll be hoping to make a road trip to see a few pool halls (or any that will be open). Any states in the Midwest that are opening up billiard...

What will be aired next week on ESPN??!! Why can’t they show some of the Predator 10 ball championship at the Rio!! Let’s get the ball rolling. People already have work requested off. Talk about lack of competition in the sports world next week. How can we make this happen?!

Last minute request for my fellow AZBers. Willie Munson is being inducted into the Wisconsin Billiards Hall of Fame tomorrow night. He has asked me to introduce him. I am honored to do so, but have only known him the last 14 years (his twilight). I was hoping to add a story or two from his...

Anyone familiar with the cue maker with a squirrelly looking W on the but. See attached photo.

Excuse my ignorance on this rule as I'm a novice, but I was wondering where a ball goes if its knocked off the table. I asked the veteran players in my area, and to my surprise got one "I'm not sure" and one "it depends which ball gets knocked off the table (shooter's, opponent's, red). And...

Down to 32 in the US Open (8 undefeated, 16 1 loss) 7 - Phillipines (All with 1 loss) 6 - USA (All with 1 loss) 4 - Great Britain (2 undefeated, 2 with 1 loss) 4 - China (2 undefeated, 2 with 1 loss) 3 - Germany (2 undefeated, 1 with 1 loss) 2 - Taiwan (2 undefeated) 2 - Netherlands (2 with 1...

From what I had seen, the tables seemed to be in very nice condition. Speed seemed to be on point as well as the pocket size. I did hear a couple comments about big pockets, but I would be shocked if they measured out to more than 4.5". It seemed that I only saw 1 or 2 balls that fell that...

As of 2015, I would put the top ten (born in) US players as the following in no particular order: SVB Mike Dechaine Johnny Archer Rodney Morris Justin Bergman Sky Woodward Justin Hall Corey Dueul Earl Strickland Oscar Dominguez I know these lists change year to year as certain players peak and...

I might be visiting the Denver area on Turkey Day. 2 Questions, Are any of the pool halls open on Wed, Thur, or Fri in the metro area and if so, does any one want to get together for some cheap 10 ball or one pocket action?

Sorry duplicate thread.

Did I miss the thread about the world juniors? Does it start Sunday or Monday? Will it be streamed? Very hard to find info about it, except that its in Johannesburg.

I'm curious as to the percentage of players who played in the US Open who have a real job vs those that play for a living. I'll venture a wild guess that less than half (100) of the 250 entrants have jobs. I'm not counting those that work at the pool hall 15 hours/week or other small odd...

Does anybody play cheap sets at Hawaiian brains (20-50)? I don't think this is knocking since road players r gonna have a hard time driving there lol.

Being a midwest man, I've never been to our country's two largest cities. One of these days I want to make a visit to see the sights. But it got me to thinking with a lot of tournaments in CA last week and the big Straight pool tournament on the East coast coming up, which CITY has the...

Pretty tough bar table fields in Fargo this past weekend for both 8 ball and 9 Ball. Justin somehow manages to win both. Pretty impressive.

My better half and I have been seriously considering opening up a pool hall/bar next year. We have been casually looking for spots in our metro area of about 1 million people. We were at a mini-mall and the biggest store was for lease. Looking through, the glass, I fell in love with the...

If anyone could provide me with a phone number for Adam Smith it would be much appreciated. Or I can PM my number to him. This is in regards to an upcoming tournament. Thanks.
