    Table Height to Change!

    Don't statitistics show that the average height is increasing? Shouldn't the table bed height as well? Or is this just too off the wall? Personally, my home table is at 31" which I think is the legal max. I really wouldn't mind if it was quite a bit higher though. Thoughts?

    What do you do? This really bothers me...

    This ever happen to anyone else in tournaments? Your playing an opponent, and it's your shot, and they just decide to walk off. What do you do? Generally I feel like I should wait for them to return so they can see my shot. I think it's really rude to just walk off. So what do you do when...
