    Solutions for small-scale local one pocket tournaments

    Pro Pocket Size TOO Small for 9 Ball

    There will always be trade offs no matter what equipment is in use. Smaller pockets with deep shelves will ALWAYS produce more safeties regardless of the skill level of the players involved. Larger pockets with shallower shelves, more aggression and “wilder” shots. It’s all about what the...

    I've never potted a ball in my life.

    Perhaps the best question one could ask is: can you foul on a push out?

    one pocket strategy question

    Based on Fargo I'm assuming neither of you run balls particularly well. I don't say this to belittle. I say it to mean that games are likely longer. Very few games played where you or he makes one glaring error and that's that for that particular rack. This is important to consider. Place...

    Up to the player to decide. Personally, I would rather not win based on a technicality but hey you do you.

    Pretty classy. Love to see it. Wish there were more moments like this in our game. Some would say doing the right thing shouldn't be celebrated but I disagree.

    Longest you've seen someone hold a challenge table for $$

    4 ball diamond with the “5” ball frozen to the center diamond in the kitchen. Cool idea for bar table/coin op pool. Lot of value for your quarters.

    Longest you've seen someone hold a challenge table for $$

    Not sure about time, half a day is super strong though. But many moons ago in South Georgia there was a spot with 8 bar tables and they played 5 ball. Win 2 out of 3 and you keep the table. $5 or $10 per game and a few folks would bet 20. If you split the first 2 racks the 3rd rack doubled. It...
