Cool hearing different formats of "buy back". I have never heard of buy-back = replaying the match just lost. Wouldn't that hold up the entire event one round? And why should the winner be penalized? Not judging the format, just seems strange to me:) That reminds me years ago on here one of...

Derby is a one-off though. I've never heard of a local event doing anything close. Buy back I've always seen simply take the place of a first round bye in a single elimination chart. If you use DigitalPool, it has a feature to "add late player". It inserts them where a Bye was.

Usually the buy back takes the place of any first round BYE entries. There are only as many buy backs as byes. Alternatively, I have seen years ago at my local weekly a 32 man bracket have an entire 16 man leg added to it to accommodate a bunch of first round losers that wanted to re-buy.

*I'm colorblind, may not apply to others* This tournament is over, and I was able to watch a few matches on the WNTTV full production table, that had the ball's remaining graphic on the bottom of the screen. I'm not 100% sure, but these may be the best balls for viewing, "for me", that I've...

I'm colorblind too! haha. Yeah, I'd HATE that set. How do you do with the Predator set today? I have my head on the table at least once a rack to see a number that happened to land directly on the cloth.

In my personal experience, the top local guys were like any other: personalities all across the board. Nothing stood out to me from their off-table game. Only they struck the ball better.

Are you asking when was the "one foot on the floor rule" implemented? I don't know for fact, but I'd guess on the very first version of the BCA rulebook, whenever that was. 1930? The one pocket room in Lousiana is an anomaly. No other room I've ever heard of allows climbing on the table. They...

Probably the guy that beat Oscar a couple months back while playing like a turtle. Haha.

The only “9 ball only” set I know of is Raschig made in W Germany from the 80’s. Does anyone know of another? They must have been super poor sellers.

Top 16 snooker pro having a go against a top pool pro. Snooker cue, snooker stance, and all:

How are players missing seeing the 2? It's the brightest ball on the table. Or are they confusing it with another ball?

(I'm colorblind) I've been watching live this morning off and on. I actually like the new set. With the help of the "made balls" at the bottom of the screen, I can make out most of the positions.

I'm not quite sure. They sponsored a WNT satellite event at my local room in Philly a year or two ago, for about 10 table's worth. The rail has Andy embroidered onto it. The other tables are all 760, which is that room's standard cloth. I might be able to find out from the TD. It's thinner than...

IMO, fastest to slowest that I’ve personally played: Andy 760 860HR 860 760 is awesome. It’s my favorite. One room I go to has both 760 and Andy. Andy is def faster, but I like 760 better.

Would someone write out the colors of each ball please? I'm colorblind. Thanks.

You just learned what "cuemaker time" is!

From binge watching Judge Judy episodes:):) ..... If you partake in an illegal activity, and you are wronged, there is no recourse by suing. For example, if you handed a drug dealer $100 for drugs, and he ran away without giving you the baggie, you can't sue him. I'm fairly certain side betting...

I’m live in a few min:

You must not have read any of Bentivegna’s books. I’ve been on the other end of a setup (me as the player) having my buddy set me up, possibly a dump (I was the backer in that one), and someone knocking my action (me as a player). None made me madder than the knock.

Remember folks, the absolute worst thing in pool is knocking action, not dumping.
