    $1.5M first place prize for Chinese tournament next week

    Ummm. The tournament is in China. Does the CCP also have a form 5754? The tournament was announced months ago -- see Post 4.

    Audience Sharking (Unintentional, but INSANE?)

    A persistent problem person can be forced to leave the arena. I think that it's the unexpected that is the real shark. League night might be chaotic, but none of that is unusual, so it isn't distracting. A major tournament is not league night.

    surely this has happened in a big match, what's the rule??

    I don't recall seeing any official rule about equipment malfunctions.

    Interference

    I think in most situations it will be restore the position and shoot again. If somehow the position can't be restored, go back to the break shot.

    $1.5M first place prize for Chinese tournament next week

    Considering that there may be a lot more money bet on the outcome of the final match than the tournament prizes, I don't think the tournament organizer would want any hint of a financial arrangement between the two players. For that matter, I don't think the players would like for any such rumor...

    $1.5M first place prize for Chinese tournament next week

    One word to the organizers: savers. First place is worth 7 times second place.

    Reed Pierce playing in Mississippi 9-ball Open

    Was it the cash prizes or the calcutta that the DA didn't like?

    Audience Sharking (Unintentional, but INSANE?)

    There's a billiard book from 130 years ago by a Major Broadfoot. His advice for not disturbing the player: when you approach the billiard room, stop outside the door and wait for the sound of a shot. When you hear one, enter just after.

    My Fargorate progression

    He's from Arizona. His former lawn is planted in prickly pears and nettles. They guard his yard 24/7.

    Reed Pierce playing in Mississippi 9-ball Open

    From a Google Maps review of The Corner Pocket: The amount of illegal betting taking place at the pool tables is unsettling. How the Mississippi Gaming Commission has not gotten involved is unclear to me. You can sit anywhere near the tables and clearly see cash changing hands, open table...

    What beginner pool tip do you wish you learned sooner?

    This book seems to be a whole collection of what the OP is looking for. But I doubt it. Has anyone ever heard of Mr. Moyle?

    The long decline of ESPN

    ESPN is still mentioned for getting pool out to the public. Here's why that's not going to happen. I really like this guy's insights to various businesses that have screwed up.

    A pool player filming until they run a rack (says it's his 10th day)

    One rack per day, it seems. All up on his FleeceBunk reels. No BIH after the break. The wing ball is usually going in.

    Audience Sharking (Unintentional, but INSANE?)

    So, somebody is watching an important match between two top players and the score is hill-hill and the player is down on a critical shot, trying to run out. That spectator is so disinterested in the shot and the match that they decide to stand up and wander around without apparent purpose...

    Fred J Velten from Marin, California?

    I've been around the Bay Area for a long time, and I don't recall hearing of Fred. You might try contacting Lee Simon, the owner of Buffalo Billiards in Petaluma. He's been in Marin/Sonoma his whole life.
