In Accu-Stats e-mail notice of the coming U.S. open I see no mention of straight pool. Nor have I seen any mention of recent or pending tournaments. Am I looking in the wrong placeses? Dave Nelson

Time. marches on!!!!. My wife and I are moving to the old folks home Monday. They have a pretty nice rec room there including a Brunswick 9 ft. Medalist. It needs to be recovered and management doesn't want too spend any money on it because no one uses it. It has lots of room around it and...

Will all those who understand Buddy Hall's clock system please raise both feet off the floor? Dave Nelson

I was working on a lengthy post concerning my exrerience with cte but have decided it's useless. Instead I will put my efforts into an addition to Charles MacKay's "Extraorinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds". Dave Nelson

Today, 11:47 AM -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well, our 14.1 round robin which we have kept going at Boomers in Sturtevant, Wi. for 7 years is kaput as of today. Break and Run bought them out and is closing them down and selling off the...

My opponent scratches and is on two. I have ball in hand behind the head string with no reasonable shot. Is it legal for me too put the cue ball on the head rail and touch it with my cue tip? Is it legal but unsportsmanlike? Does the rule say I must cross the headstring for a legal safe? We...

Is there a thread for rules questions? If not, would it be a good idea for there to be one? I think so. I will start one. We finish a rack with the 15th ball in the rack, so we rack the balls with the 15th ball on the head spot. My shot. I hit the corner of the rack too fat and scratch in...

I'm watching the videos of the 2012 Predator world 14.1 tournament. One of the player/commentators, Joey Landi, stated that he had been playing with some new Aramith balls recently and that it took him some time too get used to them because they were lighter. Is this so? Did Aramith...

I received a pm from some one asking where 14.1 is played in this area. It was labeled "visitor" though it showed up in the pms. I tried to answer it but it didn't work and now I can't find it. If the person who sent it will pm me again I will give an answer. I certainly do do not want him...

This drives me to distraction. I'm a low rated 14.1 player(and even lower in other games). I frequently play a man who is vastly superior to me. He is a nice guy and is always willing to help lesser players. He has runs in the 80's recently' BUT

What is the latest ruling concerning a foul on opening break. Does the incoming player have the option of accepting the table or calling for a re rack and break, or is it automatic re rack? Dave Nelson

I heard just a day or 2 ago that Legends in Waukegan has closed. Anyone know for sure? Dave Nelson

Perhaps it is just a local phenomenon but I think I see signs that interest in straight pool is increasing. Our straight pool round robin at Boomer's has been ongoing for 5 years now and Break & Run is initiating another which will be held each Thursday afternoon starting 5-17-12. There are 8...

Some people(me) find the chart showing placement of cue ball and 15th ball confusing. I have converted it to text and present it here for proof reading, comments and criticisms. New Version:14.1 ball placement. Example #1 Cue ball in rack, 15th ball in rack: 15th ball on foot spot, cue ball...

VTS 01 1 Why doesn't this work?
