    BCA 8 Ball Rules ???

    This is the correct answer. Rule 20 does not address the question that was asked.

    Table Difficulty Factor (TDF) for measuring table "toughness"

    It would be interesting to determine if the component TDF factors should be weighted. I personally believe facing angle and shelf depth are significantly more important.

    Bill MDaniel Shaft For Sale

    ---SOLD--- Hi I’ve got a near new Bill McDaniel cue shaft for sale. This shaft came directly off a high end cue. It’s about 12.7mm with 5/16 x 14 piloted pin. It has a black phenolic ring with a sliver ring that matches any McDaniel. Clean shaft in good condition, no blueing or green. It rolls...

    Revo deflection...curious

    Lol I nominate this for most unintelligible thread of the decade. Narrow means less deflection, deflection is in the shaft, high means low, 12.5 revo, ... What next- Palestine is part of Israel?

    The unestablished fargo player

    Good point about the problem with low starter ratings. Not sure it made a difference in this case since it appears he beat his opponents by more than any possible spot they might have gotten if he were rated 683.

    Fargorate match odds puzzle

    I believe we use the same negative binomial distribution in this experiment that Fargo uses to calculate race odds (or "set" odds using your terminology) given a single game win probability. Except now the race to five has single "game" odds of 59.8%. You can verify this using the Fargo Fair...

    Zero-X users? Anyone else feel it’s for beginners?

    I think it is very good. Understanding the "sliding cue ball" is one example of its value for advanced play.

    Never going to another Super Billiards Expo.

    I agree, nothing worse than being denied entry and desecrated by the doorman too.

    My fargo rate is not accurate

    Nope. It is based on games won and lost. As for Derby it is unrealistic to have 200 players reporting scores at the front desk after every round. You would need a verifiable mobile phone app to report scores.

    Illegal team takes 3rd in Gold at BCA Nationals

    Huh? Don't see how you can change ratings during the tournament. The brackets are drawn and fixed. Maybe you could handicap the matches and change handicaps during the tournament but that sounds chaotic and vulnerable to extreme sandbagging.

    8 Ball Rules Question

    What happens if two of your balls lodge in a corner pocket and neither can be pocketed or removed? Same question if one is solid and one is stripe? Thanks

    2016 BCAPL Payouts

    If not mistaken I think the green fee was included in the entry fee. There was a $25 registration fee for players to get a new card. Don't know if league players had to pay again or not. I think a more concerning stat would be a reduction in participation. Not sure of the numbers here but it...

    Who The Hell Is Bucky Bell!!

    "Now lookie here" Bucky is one of my favorite pool people. Took a lesson from him and he demonstrated a firehose of shots running around the table saying "now lookie here!" Don't remember any of the shots but still can't get the "now lookie here" out of my head. One year circa 1997 or so I had...
