    The Mosconi Cup 2014 onwards

    Along with the trophy, comes a hefty chunk of cash, win or lose. The Europeans regularly practice by playing tournaments all over the world and thus gain valuable experience. Apart from one or two, the Americans are stay at home players. As far as practicing together as a team, this only takes...

    The Mosconi Cup 2014 onwards

    The two most important words in your question Doug are "Team Spirit" For some years now there has been none in the American Team and it is so in contrast to that shown by the Europeans. No one doubts the ability of the American players but they simply don't gel as a team. It's sometimes hard...

    Miscuing with Kamui chalk...0.98

    While in Vegas recently I purchased a Kamui chalk just out of curiosity I started using it earlier this week and deliberately didnt rechalk until I needed to. In my first session I miscued after 19 games, in my second session I miscued after 14 games so as far as I am concerned, it is living up...

    Illegal Break in 9-Ball and 10-Ball

    The correct action is to exactly that, position the cue ball close to the rack and play off the 1 ball so that the CB goes behind the rack. It never ceases to amaze me that so many players have either never read the rules of play or have not understood them.

    I was group leader/translator for these two Spanish teams. One team finished 17/24 as you say and the other team finished the same as your team in 13/16 None of the two teams were Masters quality and if they were we would have played them in the Masters division. The statistics of the better...

    I am not surprised that the Portuguese team won as they had at least three BCAPL listed Master players in the team !!!!!!!!!

    Pool hall in london

    As someone has already suggested, you should get onto the website: www.pro9.co.uk to ask this question. Of course a lot depends on where you are staying, London is a big place. The club already mentioned in Victoria regularly sees top players like Imran Majid, Raj Hundal, Tony Drago etc and...

    Unplayable or what is the rule?

    That's fine if the lowest numbered ball is accessible, the ref would have no other option than to restart the game. However, if the lowest numbered ball is covered by other balls, the players would be forced to foul in my opinion. Rule 1.12 of the WPA Rules wouldn't help because three fouls...

    Rota, Spain

    They probably couldnt help you since they are over 1000 kilometres away. As far as I know there arent any pool rooms in Rota but to be sure you could ask Ed Smith (CalifonEd1@aol.com, who is a National Head Referee for the BCA Pool Leagues. His email address is publicly available on the...

    OB Cues

    I have read nice comments about this company in the past but until a week ago I never had a personal experience to relate. Two years ago during the BCAPL Tournaments in Las Vegas I purchased an OB Shaft for my Bear Cue. On my return to Spain where I live, I played with the new shaft for about...

    Black (new) Magic Rack?

    Just the players in tournaments having no respect for the racks, they just grab them carelessly with their hands to remove them from the table. I have personally been using a MR since last September, it is used for 3 hours a day, 5 days a week and there is not a crease in it. I think we need...

    Unfortunately I am talking about a dozen MR's not just one. That's 120 bucks.
