It wasn't long ago that many people are so excited about Guinness replacing San Miguel as the main sponsor of the event because of possible bigger pay. Looking back, was it really a good idea to replace a sponsor that has sentimental tie to the region which is very likely to be there in the long...

Just wondering . . . I've been gone of the forum for quite sometimes. http://www.mikesurber.com/

Ronnie Alcano putting the bridge over his shoulder for a better stroke. Looks funny but it makes sense. http://jp.youtube.com/watch?v=iHffyitzQfA&feature=related

I'm reading the BCA rule on 8-ball, but it wasn't clear about legally pocketing the last ball of the group and caroming to the 8-ball and making it too. What's the rule? I've heard some people say that if the 8-ball sinks first then it's a foul, but if the last ball of the group falls in before...

No explanation needed. ---- My turn

Since ABS-CBN is broadcasting the event, do you think they will also show it on Filipino Channel here in the US, or are they not allowed due to ESPN broadcast rights? ----------- ABS-CBN to Broadcast World Pool By Marlon Bernardino PhilBoxing.com Fri, 26 Oct 2007 MANILA, PHILIPPINES --...

They talked about almost everything except the actual SENDING of players to WPA tournaments. ------------------------- BCA Announces Formation of WPA Committee Broomfield, Colo. ? October 8, 2007 ? In its capacity as the North American member to the World Pool-Billiard Association (WPA)...

Given that BCA is the governing body of pool in America, should UPA members have the right to ask for an audit on where the BCA's money is going? It seems that BCA is NOT TRYING HARD to send the qualifying players to WPC. Players are left on their own.

Have you guys read that news? Taiwan is really serious with their pool initiative. 44 players considering there are probably only 10 spots to fill.

If a person wanted to be considered the greatest pool player of this generation, who does he/she needs to beat in every billiard discipline. This is my list (feel free to add more disciplines for Herculenean effort :D): 9-Ball - Johnny Archer (Yang close second) - If you want to talk about...

Is there specific reason why this is done?

It looks like cues are not just being bought for playing purposes. Some collect them for looks, my neighbor just want some goodlooking cues in his pool room for display. Have you guys contemplated about creating your own magazine comparable to Cigar Afiscionado? Or there is already one out there?

Even without major title outside the Asian region can Ching-Shun Yang still be considered player of the year? Just by plain "buzz," he's the man of the hour.

Post pics if you can. Thanks,

Did the tournament use Bar or BCA rule?

It's not undone, but the string wrapping has loosen up. Can it be fixed without re-wrapping the cue?

Sorry wrong topic . . . I moved the thread to Ask the Cue Maker.
