    I sympathize with Billy Thorpe

    It looks like the racking is the problem. It's not. The problem is the ball-on-the-break rule. This is a prime example of a rule that causes game and event ruining problems for and between players. We fixed the rule. Bill Th, Dennis H, Corey D, Mike D, Earl S. have played in our events and have...

    Wanted: Gold Crown I

    I am looking for a Gold Crown I that is in great shape...a table that may have spent it's years in a home rather than a pool room.

    1993 Billiard Congress of America Beer Steins

    A few years ago I posted a query in the For Sale Section and got zero response so I will post here. Does anyone here have in their possession or have seen these before? How common are they? Does anyone have any info on them.

    I know there are a number of Baltimore-DC posters on here. Does anyone have a picture of Julius? It would be much appreciated.

    Subscribing to the Billiards Digest

    This month's publication is a tribute to John Schmidt's long sought after record and his achievement. It is an in depth look at the history of high-runs and the stats associated with John's endeavor. As always, I particularly appreciate the "CHRONICLES" by Mike Shamos. It is this kind of...

    Comparing 626

    There is only one thing to compare 626 to and that is 526. That is 100 balls more than Mosconi's timeless record. What really gets me is how John did it. A player's high run is something that just happens in exhibition or when a player ends and wins a game with a high run and continues to shoot...

    Mosconi Cup: Nine-Ball, Big Pockets, Short Races

    Mosconi Cup: Nine-Ball, Big Pockets, Short Races, Alternate Breaks I mention it every year. The most exciting, interesting, and successful event in our sport, the Mosconi Cup, chooses to host short races playing nine-ball, alternate breaks on generous tables. Looks right to me. I don't see...

    Dr. Dave's Billiards Digest piece on the racking debacle

    I read the article. It identified the usual problems and put forward the usual solutions. There was nothing new or innovative. Here is the bottom line: It does not matter who racks the balls. It does not matter what racking gadget is employed. It does not matter where the balls are racked. It...

    What is "POOL"? "POOL" is one of the hundreds of incidental things a human being can do while he is fully engrossed on his smart-phone.

    Mosconi Cup: This is what I saw....

    Besides the spectacular pageantry and the fact that I truly enjoyed the show, this is what I saw: Big pockets (as compared to our shrinking pockets with deep shelves) Short races (as compared to race to 11 or 50 or 100) Alternate-breaks (as compared to winner-breaks) Slower cloth for easier...
