I agree Fredderick. Thats pretty much why we have kept it free and easy for most of the teams.

It was just the one or 2 that will FK it up on you. They get to play under different rules is all.

BTW. Looking for a Scotch Pardner soon.

I like Pina Coladas and walking in the rain.

Any takers?

What about long strolls in the park under the moonlight?

How about if the partners wear shirts that have the 7 relevant colors on them. A player could put a hand or finger on the color of the intended ball.

I'd say allow as much coaching as possible but put a time limit on each shot with maybe 1 extension per rack. Something like 45 seconds per shot with 1 30 second extension in the rack. As long as you get your shots off before the time expires, coach as much as you'd like. Even the professionals operate this way. Take a look at the doubles matches of the Mosconi Cup or World 9 Ball Scotch Doubles.

Yes Allen, and laying on a blanket on the grass Star Gazing.

But, because of living in Canada, Ice Fishing is also a must as it is Winter here more months a year than not. Fall is coming in very quick this year. The furnace is on already.

Just got back from 2 weeks approx 350 miles into the Boreal Forest of Saskatchewan. Nothing but bears, Loons calling on the lake, Bald Eagles etc.
Peace and quiet for 2 glorious weeks. No Black Helicopters flying over my house constantly. No jets, sirens, traffic noise. Could actually see the stars and spectacular Northern Light Shows.

And I walk into my kitchen Something doesn't smell quite proper. My fridge decided that it was a good time to take a vacation also. Freezer meat was a tad Funky. My great wife fixed that or I would have taken my axe to the fridge. The only 2 things salvageable was my tub of filtered Bacon Grease and my home made beef jerky. Pan fries don't taste right without bacon grease.

BTW, it was because of a Stun Gun and a park that I was able to meet my current wife.

There was that instant Spark between us, so to speak.
