I was in Davenport a few years ago for a job interview and I stopped by a bar downtown on North Brady St somewhere near the arcade bar that had a couple of bar tables close to the hotel. I swear they rolled off by at least 6 inches. I'm pretty sure no one had ever put a level on them. I did...

I can't remember the name and have never been there but did watch a stream of the midwest US bar box championship in Moline I believe a few years ago. It was a bar atmosphere with several 7 footers. A lot of pros showed up. Just Googled it, leisure time billiards. I think Jesse Bowman's...

UTK had 8-10 brunswick 8 foot tables, air hockey, and a bowling alley in their student union recreation area that got demolished a few years back. They did allow nonstudents to play with a picture ID held back in the day (90's). They built a new student union its place. Last year over...

They changed the 8 ball score keeping back in 2011 or so in my home area. I'm not exactly sure of the difference but it sounded like more work. When I played you just marked a stroke after the second shooter of the first game when their turn was over throughout the race keeping track of those...

I preferred APA because you played all your games in one race at one time. So ideally I got my # of beers right beforehand. The BCA based league I played in you played round robin so you played here and there all night. I had a better chance to get in a groove or build momentum in a race...

Isn't the guy who started Fargo rate the owner of Fargo Billiards which is among other things a pool room, gastro pub, pizza place, darts, corn hole, beach volleyball, video arcade, ping pong, air hockey, and foos ball joint? I forgot blackjack, pull tabs, and gambling machine joint but state...

Oh its Chapman Hwy also or 441

Ye Ole Steak House. Ate there once a long time ago but would rather cook my own now a days. Heard it was great but can't remember. I heard there was a Brazilian steak house in PF if it is still open that would probably be worth a visit if you have not been to one.

no alcohol or smoking at KBC but a juke box. If you want a beer, smoking, juke box, food, and 7 valleys with some decent league talent competition, try It's about time tavern a few miles further than KBC on a side road. I think both have tournaments Friday or Saturday or both.

Never been to Sevierville Billiard Club so I won't knock it but down the same highway about 25 miles is Knoxville Billiard Club if you want to try somewhere else kinda close with probably a bit more history. I'll probably be there next week and at least eat me a burger and fries if not play...

Eight ball is my normal game growing up but have been playing 9 by myself for the last few years to have one object ball to try and get shapes on if I can make the first.

I'm up here working as well we should play sometime. What's your favorite game and how good are you? You like the 7 footers or 9? I've played there several times by myself mostly. Sundays are pretty cheap, like 5 bucks plus tax for all day but reasonable other days. I'm working 7 days a...

Carry your own newer chalk is the remedy?

Regularly scheduled competition to get used to dealing with nerves, watch/play better players, regularly scheduled beer drinking time, competing for a chance to go to nationals/Vegas

Looks like my ferrule. I can't remember if I ever had it replaced or not. I know I had it retipped but I asked the guy that did tip replacment if it needed replacing (after this look developed) and he said no several years ago. It's been my main player and breaker for the last probably 25...

Yeah our LO owned a franchise/territory so our city tourney included some folks from outside the city but in the franchise area. Everyone (area divisions) had a playoff spring, summer, and winter sessions locally to earn qualifying spots in the city tournament which happened once a year. 1st...

No 1099. I had been playing in that league for about 10 years before getting to that point so I had some money invested. It was only $5 a week back then if you played league night. I know the nightly cost to play has gone up since then.

When the team I played with in APA won a trip to Vegas back in 2008 it became apparent that not all LO's were required to provide the same assistance from talking with other teams there. In our city tournament 4 teams won free trips to Vegas/nationals that included air fare, room, entry fee...

Open to interpretation I'm sure. There was some guy who appeared to be asking for side action for $500 race to seven but I saw no cash and no apparent takers. All 7' diamonds and one larger than 9' table though. Most everyone playing 9 ball.

I stopped by there Monday night first time. It appears To be a newer establishment so would be required by federal law to be accessible although I couldn't verify that as that was not what i was looking for. You might have a hard time getting a table. The help claimed there were big money...
