EDIT: I have been off of the forums for a while and it seems like this was already discussed a bit here: https://forums.azbilliards.com/threads/queens-gambit-netflix.521600/unread. I didn't mean to double post but didn't go back two weeks to see this was already talked about before posting. I...

The Association of College Unions International over the summer made the decision to discontinue their National Collegiate Pocket Billiards program. This program held its first national tournament in 1937 and was the longest running national tournament that I am aware of. From my...

I live in a place that doesn't have a pool hall around. There are two bars in the city, each with two 8ft. tables. If you wanted to run a tournament/weekly event with two tables and no more than 16-20 players, what would be your ideal tournament? We already are using one of these bars to have...

I have not been involved helping ACUI with these the past two years, but it still excites me none the less. I don’t have many details on this year’s event except, the tournament is hosted by the University of Illinois. Here are the two brackets: https://challonge.com/ACUI_2019_MEN...

There are two new Lincoln commercials featuring pool. One stars trickshot artist Steve Markle: https://youtu.be/0gdNXUpqqCk And the other featuring Matthew McConaughey: https://youtu.be/9fvXSF9bya0 Thought they were both pretty cool. -Ben

I have been wondering lately, while watching FargoRate grow in popularity of use, what does a 100 ball runner look like in FargoRate. Now, I know FargoRate doesn't take into consideration the game of 14.1, but I think it would be interesting to examine where some players are rated and discuss...

Does anyone know if any of the major/regional billiard magazines/newspapers have digital archives available for their entire catalogue? Not looking for anything in particular just curious if these companies have leveraged their entire catalogue of work. Thanks, Ben

Calling all custom cue sleuths! I am wondering if there is anyone who recognizes the cue maker of this "custom"? I just picked this up and don't know much about it. It looks like it is older. Definitely has either ivory or animal bone ferrule, a huge pin, and a wooden joint insert on the...

We always talk a lot on the forum about famous folks who are into pool and I thought this was an awesome video of Adam Savage, of Mythbusters fame, talking about growing up with the game. He also shares some fun pool hall/bar memories. His terminology isn't always on point, but he seems to...
