    No Stream 4 World Cup of Pool?

    Eleven Sports currently lists live coverage of all sessions starting @7:30AM EST starting on Tuesday the 13th. It is channel 623 on DirectTV in the US. The listings for this channel can be unreliable, but they seem to have a relationship with Matchroom as they broadcast live coverage of the...

    GPS Your Case?

    I just ordered a TrackR - http://www.thetrackr.com They're giving them away for free, but it may take some time to get it unless you want to get pay an extra charge for higher priority. It looks like it might be small enough to fit inside the butt cap, and it will definitely fit inside a case...

    Insidepool mag - contacting them issues

    Inside Pool has not published a magazine since July. Here is the archive to their issues online - http://issuu.com/insidepoolmag If anyone wants to try an experiment, they can try to buy a subscription through their website. I will guess that section of their site functions with no problems.

    Instead of theMosconi cup..

    I like the idea of it going to a King of the Hill format adding a team representing Asia to the mix. Europe comes back to defend next year, but the US and Asia play a challenger's event mid-year for the right to play Europe for the Cup in December. The biggest risk for Matchroom is the...

    Mosconi Cup on the Net or T.V.

    The Mosconi Cup will be live on Fox Soccer Plus for the first 3 hours each day - http://www.foxsoccerplus.com/images/schedules/week%2049-december13-fsp-clean.pdf For the final 2 live hours each day, they will switch over to Fox Sports 2 (used to be FuelTV). Fox Sports 2 is pretty widely...

    Live coverage of the first 3 hours each day will be on Fox Soccer Plus from 11am-2pm Pacific. The next 2 hours shift over to Fox Sports 2 from 2-4pm. Replays will be shown each night on Fox Soccer Plus. Unfortunately, Fox Soccer Plus is a standalone channel with a separate $14.95/month...

    Inside pool magazine

    Their website is being updated with maybe 1-2 articles per week. On their online site - http://issuu.com/insidepoolmag - no issues for September or October have been published. The only document uploaded in the last 2 months appears to be the comp plan for a pyramid scheme.

    Inside pool magazine

    When I moved 18 months ago, I left several messages with their subscription department and never received a call back. I had always been satisfied with them up to that point, but if they do not want my money, that's fine with me. They post the magazine online for free by the 1st or 2nd of the...

    Looking for opinion on Az Money List

    I would prefer one list for open tournaments and a second list that includes both open and invitational tournaments. Success in the open tournaments leads to most of the invites to the special events - Challenge of Champions, Mosconi Cup, etc. For example, winning the US Open leads directly to...

    Vegas Question??

    The Tropicana has been going through renovations over the past year and is one of the better values for the money on the strip. Here's a review of a renovated room posted a few weeks ago with plenty of photos. - http://www.vegastripping.com/features/feature.php?feature_id=213&page=1 Another...

    Casino Pool Hall/Room?

    The last time I walked through in May, the Excalibur had a small game room in an open area near the sports book with 3 coin-op tables, but they charge $2 per game. The Imperial Palace also had a 7-footer hidden in the back of the casino, but it looked pretty beat up. If your girlfriend...

    Mosconi Cup ESPN

    My TiVo picked it up last night at 2am on Comcast Sportsnet. It was mis-titled as the World Cup of Pool, so it was a nice surprise to see the Mosconi Cup when it started. There are no more listings for the next 2 weeks though.

    Inside Pool Mag

    I've been a subscriber for about 5 years and never had a problem until recently. Never received the December or January issues, but I did receive the February issue on the 12th which was shocking because I think it's the first time I ever received Inside Pool before Billiards Digest and Pool &...

    Wal-Mart the Billiards Store?

    I interviewed for a job at WalMart.com about 10 years ago. At the time, they were considered a separate division from the brick-and-mortar stores. WalMart.com's headquarters is in Northern California and WalMart is headquartered in Arkansas. I am assuming they are still separate today...

    Video of Joe Rogan possessed by the spirit of Earl Strickland

    Awesome. Was that Joe's first attempt at the voice? It was dead on. Earl sounds a little like a southern Dave Chappelle. I'll never be able to hear Earl talk without thinking of Dave Chappelle.

    InsidePool for Dec. or Jan? Have you received it?

    Me neither. No December issue and no January issue. It's hard to tell if the January issue is late. When I actually get a copy, it's usually on the 26th or 27th of the month.

    Congrats! Shane VanBoening! 4th Player for Team USA/ Mosconi Cup

    Congrats to Shane. His inclusion on the team was a safe bet. Being on the losing team in the Mosconi Cup still pays $10,000. The fan vote is a $10,000 payday with a chance at $20,000 if the US wins. If it were up to me, the 8 finalists on Matchroom's list would be the next 8 top Americans on...
