depends on whether you mean necessary as "necessary" or as "useful" english is very useful almost all the time I'm an apa 7-7 and i use english on id say....75% of my shots now 90% of the time the english like VERY slight, aka like 1/4 tip or so, and I would say 80% of the time i use english...

yes i understand that is the way it is in BCA and some other leagues that doesn't imply thats how it is in all league tho right?

in terms of the dfferences between men and women...no they wot do shit you could eat all the soy and phytoestrogens in the world, you wont become female-like those things have minor effects

HAHAHA popping estrogen pills yes, aka becoming transsexual yes that would certainly "sneak" you into the womens events if they did blood tests in all seriousness tho...nobody has bothered to comment on the trans men who WOULD have male hormone levels...

haha yes...so you're saying its my OPINION that gender and biosex are real? lol

Are you for real? What word wouldnyou prefer I use instead of concept? I'm using it as a synonym for "term", "category" etc "Concepts" are "real" too you know...biosex and gender are both real things. Gravity is a concept. Also real. Empathy is a concept. Also real. "In informal use the word...

Any miscue COULD be a foul if anything other than the tip makes contact. However an accidental jump doesn't inherently imply that happens, but some abnormal jumps from miscues may be fouls

well woman is a cultural, behavioral, psychological, identity type concept, and sex (biosex) is a biological, physical, hormonal, chromosomal, anatomical concept How could they be "the same" I'm not saying they don't correlate or often "match up" but that's the difference biosex is a...

Not if handicap limits are present, if they have used 20 pts but only have a 3446 left, you KNOW they will be playing the 3

I'm more worried about the "interference" of a bad rack, balls not perfect etc The magic rack is highly effective and improves the game

Well no they don't necessarily that's why trans people have always existed, it's a part of natural variation, see just teach people to conform to gender roles, and thus we see trans as aberrant as these gender roles become less rigid, we will see more and more variation because people aren't...

Depends, I'd rather not play a 10 person tournament when you can play a 30 person one...etc it's very typical in my area...you offer an open event, you hardly get anyone, you offer handicaps and suddenly you have dozens of players Besides if you're a 7+ in APA and you lose to a lower skill...

You're confusing female and woman It's almost like they are two different words with two different meanings

A few more points. NEVER argue about rules...if a disagreement on a listed rule happens, ask the other team to show you the ruling. If they don't. You are the correct one. If they show it and the interpretation is disagreed. Get a ruling from the rep or a trusted 3rd party. Matches are 3...

Except, if you value skill points and assuming they will play max points (22 or 23 pts only) after the 4th match if you have 5 pts left and they have 4, you already KNOW what they are going to play...so unless they have an underrated player as a 2-3, then you know their best play is a remaining...

What does "respecting your opinion" even mean? If you disagree clearly you don't respect it? I was looking for actual answers to the questions I asked.

i find people in this thread incredibly silly people are right that in SOME rule formats, there is specifically NO WAY to "call a ball and pocket" and "call a safe" at the same time. Thats simple. Some agree that this is a sensible rule. Others might not. JUST BECAUSE you think it "makes sense"...

so i want to open up the discussion a little further my thoughts on WHY we have women's only events in the first place 1. less women play, and they may find it harder to enjoy, a womens tournament is a way of encouraging them to play, because their odds of winning will be better 2. women only...

why is it wrong? what does one's birth genitals have to do with a game of pool? when someone lives as a woman, looks like a woman, has estrogen like a woman, even a vagina like a woman, and their whole life completely changes...what makes them in any way ...not a woman??

yeah, exactly people like YOU are the problem? pretenders, not real trans folks
