I also posted this message over on the CCB. Yesterday I found out that my cancer has come back with a vengeance. It's all through my liver and into my lungs. It's inoperable and I've got maybe 3 to 6 months. I still have to meet with the Cancer Clinic people to talk management. I'll be...

I have them for free in .PDF format on my site. You can enter data using your computer and there are samples. http://www.davespooltools.com

My "Pool Tournament Manager" works very well for up to 32 players. The problem is getting the computer screen to the TV screen with the proper resolution. The S-video on a laptop doesn't work worth a damn to a standard TV. I haven't tried this with a high resolution TV. Mickey (The Houseman)...

The Fun Tournament Director v1.3 is available for download. It is the format I designed for the CCB fun tournament in conjunction with the US Open 9-ball tournament in Chesapeake, VA. I've added a new OPTION which allows you to do a pro/am event. It ensures that a Pro will have a different AM...

The Mini-Tournament Director is available from my web site as a FREE program. No activation of any kind is, or will be, required. It is designed to do those 8 and 16 player single elimination mini-tournaments that are usually run in conjunction with large tournaments. Get your download here...

Thanks for the mention Eydie. The latest version is on the web site http://www.davespooltools.com and now has LARGE chart pages. The documentation shows the large pages in actual size. Names in the large chart pages are in 18-point type and the new design makes it very easy to see when you...

Hi Eydie, Give Bob my congratulations.

Mike, I guess that I'm one of the offenders. I'm not a prolific poster, but I do participate in the discussions, and every once in awhile I mention my products if I'm looking for Beta testers, have a new revision to an existing product, or am releasing a new product. I try to balance the...

I took another look and now am not so sure. When did Fred get rid of all his hair?

If you're talking abut the picture of Greg Sullivan that's titled Mark Griffin, it is not Fred with him - although it looks a bit like Fred.

I’m looking for a FEW Beta testers for a new product I’ve developed called, “The Mini-Tournament Director”. If you run mini-tournaments and have a Windows (preferably newer than ’98) based computer and a printer available, my product could be of benefit to you. Email me dave@syrja.net for...

Yep, The Wilsons play good pool. Unfortunately they play on teams other than the one I play on in our Victoria BCA league. Good for them since I can't run 3 friggin balls. The tournament was great, but those 14-18 hour days can get a little draggy. The only time I stepped out of the hotel...

I just got back to Victoria this evening and first thing tomorrow I'll be revising the charts so they will be much larger and easier to read. I'm looking at making the type very large, perhaps This Big There will be other changes to make it extremely simple to find your next match. Just to...

Tom, The "Game time II" is listed for $39.95 new. I like the idea of a chess clock because a game could be put on the clock without requiring a time keeper. To be even more radical, I think that all matches in a tournament, with the exception of the semi_final and final, should be on the...

What do you think of using a chess clock to control slow matches?

Chris, The weather is great, maybe a little too hot just now, but just fine if you are near the ocean. I didn't see Cliff play until I moved to Edmonton. He came through town and played some exhibitions that I was able to attend. Let me know if you have any time to play a few games when you...

Thank you all for your comments. It came as quite a shock to everyone who knew him. If you are interested, here is a link to a MacLean's Magazine article about Stan. http://ccadp.org/macleansfaulder.htm

I read Wayne's story about the Kid and thought you all might like this one I wrote some time ago. A Small Town Pool Hall Joe Faulder owned the pool hall in the small resort town of Jasper, Alberta, Canada where I grew up. It was located right on the main street, across from the CN railway...
