They call him 'Honey Badger'...he don't take $hit off nobody. Look at the way he keeps his composure...he's been there before. L8R...Ken

Rasputin had it right. FOUL all the way. The actual rule in the WPA was written expressly for that shot. Before the rule was written, it was legal and used occasionally. It's like one of those other rules, like hitting the cue with the butt of your cue or picking up the cue ball and handing...

I rethunk this a little today. Since it's a Team event, Make it 8ball, shoot a single game 'Scotch' style (think Scotch Doubles) with all the team players alternating shots...one shot per person and no coaching. Use your normal line up to play the game. That way the whole team is involved and...

I think lighting plays a bigger part than people are aware. A well lit Green table is just fine. But since most bar room situation leave something to be desired where lighting is concerned, Tour Blue is the choice. I hate aiming at the 8 on the rail at the other end of the table ond only...

I almost agree...I would stick to the game you're hill-hill in. That is the way we did our State ACS tournament this year (except it was a single game...I like your race better). It is more fair than any other method...unless you flipped a coin to choose who plays. L8R...Ken

Personally, I don't like the rule change...doesn't do much to improve the game...makes it harder to ERO and seems to punish the breaker too much. If you're going to give the nonbreaker the choice on a sucessful break, then you should give the breaker the same opportunity to chose the suit if he...

Wellll, I guess I break up the mess and hope he don't get out. I see your point. Really, I'm with you guys...I can't see any circumstance to not hit the one and go for a killer safety. Just hought I had something there. L8R...Ken

OK Jude, I think I have a situation where you had BIH after the break, where a push would be to your advantage (that is, if it was legal in the first place, which it's not). Try this...1 ball froze to the rail, 9 ball not quite froze to the 1 but not on any kind of line that would allow the 9...

Wow, got one of the guys I most wanted to hear from right off the bat. Thanks Jude, I really respect your opinions and advice. That opinion was mine as well. Never seen it, never had the opportunity for that sinerio (except for last night) and probably never will...but I thought it an...

With regard to 8-ball. Here is the WPA rule about the break: 3.3 Break Shot The following rules apply to the break shot: (a) The cue ball begins in hand behind the head string. (b) No ball is called, and the cue ball is not required to hit any particular object ball first. (c) If the...

Answer to the driving test...I hope so. L8R...Ken

I was really bored the other day and for some reason I thought of that post. Took me almost an hour of looking, but I found it. Now I know where to look on YouTube to find it. I think I'll watch it again...thanks for reminding me...ding-a-ling-ling. L8R...Ken

There are two major State Tournaments in Iowa. One has a dress code and the other does not. At the later one year, a guy showed up wearing gym shorts and a tank top. He is a rather large fellow and he looked like a slob. At the next tournament, with a dress code, he was wearing jeans and a...

JAM is correct...the BCAPL is not associated with the Billiard Congress of America. As a matter of fact, they were supposed to remove the "BCA" part from their name years ago. It was only supposed to be attached for a couple years to gain some recognition, then changed to something (anything)...

There is normally no coaching during a team (partners) match...but that's usually during that teams turn. When not shooting, you are allowed to discuss things. I guess if the room is small and others talking might be a distraction, you might throw some rule in about that. I agree with filming...

There already exists many State level organizations throughout the US. Most are affiliated with one of the National Organizations...BCAPL, ACS, VNEA, etc and most have a State level Tournament for the affiliated Leagues. I believe Iowa has the only Independent State Level Association...not...

I was thinking more like Le-a would be pronounced "Le hyphen a". But I guess that just doesn't make sense.:o I mean really...the hyphen don't be sillent...doesn't make any sense whatsoever.:( L8R...Ken
