They should make a 5ft by 2 1/2 ft table just to piss you off. And to conserve space so that bars can have even more of them in a smaller space :p

Awww you won your local bar's $20 added 6 man tourney and now you're sad cause it doesn't mean sh1t. Go crawl under your barbox, maybe one day you'll feel validated.

Sad how many that think a bar box is a kiddie table still can't run a decent package on one. (I guess that is why they want them banned, so they don't get so embarrassed by them);)

That's not it at all.

Look at how far behind Americans are vs other countries.

How many bar box events do you think those countries have?

Exactly, that's like me practicing in a Honda Civic for the Daytona 500 and when it's time to race, I don't have a clue how to drive a real race car.

Come on guys, only 2 people signed so far. I need 100 signatures in order to send this to the BCA, APA, and WPA.

Yeah, must be the barboxes. Couldn't be because in other countries they actually play each other and actually practice, where we only play tournaments and the occasional challenge match with a guaranteed payday, and 99% think practice is for losers.

Face it, most of our guys are just plain lazy. It's the new American way. The few that actually do work are doing quite well in the pool world.

The size of the table is conducive to the size of most bars. They can get more into the place. I live in the northeast where there is,thankfully, an abundance of nine footers and I don't mind saying that I do not enjoy the game as much on 7 footers. The only time I play on 7 footers is the SBE. Thankfully they are Diamonds.
As far as pros go, they are just trying to earn a living and keep their sponsors happy.

Free country, you think barboxes are stupid don't play on them or in tournaments with them. Plain and simple. I've never seen an APA/BCA league where they ONLY had barboxes. Just choose the league that has 9footers. Honestly I think 8 footers are worse than barboxes, enough space for the balls to spread but still close enough to make most shots doable

Yup. I never play on them. There is a pretty big tournament around my way that is played over several weeks as a cumulative event with some very good players that is played on Diamond Bar Boxes. Played last year in two of them. One 8 ball and one 9 ball. I abstained this year as many others have. As I have stated, in the Northeast there are 9 foot tournaments every weekend somewhere.

Without barboxes, a lot of towns wouldn't have any pool tables at all. That'd be great for the sport. :thumbup2:

I could be mistaken but in most of the country there is bar box pool only. There seems to be a preponderance of 9 footers on the coasts.

My good friend in San Francisco has two 3' x 6' Tables in each of his two Bars.
They have Huge pockets, so a game is over in no time at all. He charges $1.50
per game, and averages $700-$800 Each per week. He owns the tables and
keeps them in (and Cues / Balls) in Top Condition for the many Leagues he
sponsors each week. I played on them a couple times and our games lasted
less than 3 mins.

Does that mean we should throw away the 9 foot tables too because Snooker and Chinese 8 ball are popular in other countries
