No, it's still ambiguous. There are tables where the "section" is one continuous wood piece for the entire 9 foot rail. Google with general knowledge doesn't help us in this specialized case. Trying to use Google to interpret a piss-poorly written rule is futile. Garbage in = Garbage out, and...

It can easily mean the entire rail (both sides of the side pocket). It's very ambiguous. Really its a piss poor job of writing that rule knowing how often this question comes up. What if you have a crossover straight back bank where the OB is extremely close to the long rail to start (thus...

That's ambiguous to me. It's the "does the table have 4 or 6 rails" question. Whoever wrote this rule did a bad job, because this question comes up in every single bank pool tournament ever held. Hitting the side pocket tit on a straight back should be explicitly spelled out as good or bad. I...

The app is completely free for looking up your rating or someone else's. The paid version's extra capability is it displays the individual match history (for you, and for other players only if they have the paid version and have public data turned on). The free version of the app has/had the...

The game in my video was backpocket 9 ball. It's played like regular 9 ball until you are on the 9. Then it's played like one pocket, where each player must make the 9 in their own hole (but the holes are at the head end of the table). There is no calling any shot in this game. For "Bank Pool"...

Wow, fairmatch.fargorate.com is gone for me too. I recall Mike said about 5 years ago that it was going away, but it kept hanging around. The main site has been revamped completely, and there is a new tool for tournament management, called Cuematch. I hope it's way better than DigitaPool, barf...

ps I just made that shot a few weeks ago to win the set, was funny as hell for us at the pool room. We were playing backpocket 9 ball, not banks, but the shot was the same.

It's 1000% legal. Every DCC there is a player's meeting and they cover hitting the side pocket tit on the way to the corner. It doesn't matter which of the two side pocket tits it hits, its good.

Tell that to the past 15 years;)

The MR money list is a clusterF. There are 6 total lists to navigate: -2 years rolling points list used for seeding -"Prior Mosconi cup" to date list for Mosconi Cup, for both USA and Europe (2 lists) -"Prior Reyes cup" to date list for Reyes Cup, for both Asia and ROW (2 lists) -"Prior WPM to...

The Mosconi Cup should probably go away. USA can't compete for at least 10 more years. There are zero teens right now in the USA that will be top pro level. There might be some 10 year olds that haven't picked up a stick yet. I wrote the exact same thing every year for the past 10 years. I...

Pretty sad, there are only 9 American players (was 10 before Thorsten withdrew) that are even eligible for the Mosconi Cup. That means 9 (10) total players even participated in enough MR events this year. (IDK if there is a minimum earnings cutoff and if a banger like me entered every single MR...

I’ll be honest, I think it’s lame he withdrew. Dig deep and get it instead of withdrawing. That’s my opinion.

The egg-crate diffusers make a significant difference. There is a room I go to in Atl that has an older style wood light that has been retrofitted with qty 2 2x4 LED panels over each table. The diffuser is the one built into the panel (none extra added). It lights the table fine, but is slightly...

From what I heard, he took all of the IPT winnings and bought a nice house cash.

If you’re coming from 20 years in the predator family, it’s best to stay in the family and switch to the Revo. All the other brands have a little bit more deflection than the Revo and the 314s, so your aim will be off.

Spill soda all over it.

Both have their place, but I think gambling. In a tournament, you put up your entry fee, wait around all day, and play a few matches. If you lose its no big deal, you are out a few bucks on the entry. In gambling, there is a lot more play. Win or lose you flip and keep playing. There is more...

I was cracking up when team ROW were in a circle and rotating/dancing during the celebration. They really looked like a team. "Everything looks right when you are winning".

1 year later feedback: Watching Reyes Cup on my Mac. The stream is super good. Feels like YouTube, which is a great compliment. The J and L keys skip 10 seconds, which is the perfect amount for pool. The seek bar can take you anywhere. There is now a chat on the side (I forgot if it was there...
