6 Pocket League Debuts at Fast Eddie's in San Antonio

[stuckart]

This statement really doesn't sit well with me.

I mean, sure it seems to be great for certain types of league players, but considering that the game is just too easy for AA or higher level players, it's not realistic.

Don't get me wrong, I wish you the best of luck with it.....but a few successful weeks/months of test leagues doesn't justify such a statement.

How about "The Future of APA"?

This is definitely more geared towards the highest volume of players. The B, C and D ranked groups.

I do like the idea of running a nation wide tournament. Kind of like Golden Tee 2009 Live. Best case scenario is 2 or 3 locations with Live Streaming. That way numbers and players can watch and compete across the country.

Get with BigTruck to Stream a tourney in Texas, and I'll stream one in Phoenix the same and put the players together.

ps: sorry I didn't get back to you yet Dick, crazy busy during the week lately.

Are there any sanctioned poolrooms or bars in the Tampa area yet? Johnnyt

Sorry Johnny, not yet. I will do my best to get a place sanctioned for you. I'm getting so busy trying to stay up with the growth that just haven't had time to go to central FL. If you know a room we can contact I would be glad to talk to them by phone to get started.

I have family in New Port Richey and Spring Hill........would like to see them!

Thanks........Dick

I just gave it another go with 5 racks and put together 5 - 15's in a row without any trouble. I'm definitely not in the top 10% of all players in the country. Maybe top 10% of all people in the country, but that's a different story.

I'm shooting on a custom 8' olhausen with 4-1/2" pockets.

Jerry,

I hate to tell you but those pockets are 5" easy!! You measure from point to point. Like this. These are 4.5" pockets.

6 Pocket in Tampa

Are there any sanctioned poolrooms or bars in the Tampa area yet? Johnnyt

We're just getting started through John in Florida panhandle / Pensacola and Mobile.

If you have a pool hall in mind in Tampa, I'd be glad to contact them and get them on board

I really don't know the owners well in anything close to me anymore...but give me a few days I'll make friends with one and make him an offer he can't refuse. Johnnyt

6 Pocket Same as Equal Offense?

6 Pocket seems to be the same game as Equal Offense that was created years ago. Equal Offense never did get off the ground. How is 6 Pocket different from the old game of Equal Offense?

There are several differences between the 2 games. If you will go to the you tube link below it will explain 6 Pocket or go to the web site please. One of the major differences is, we are building an entire company around 6 Pocket with 5 different business enities.

1. League
2. Amateur Association
3. Professional Association
4. Professional Tour
5. Recreational membership

Hope this helps.:smile:

There are also some significant differences in the game itself.

Like you somehow get 20 points in a 15 ball rack instead of 15....the BCA rule book doesn't specify how.

In EO, on the break you are not penalized for fouls....in 6 Pocket you are....

In EO if you pocket balls without a foul on the break, they get spotted, ...in 6 Pocket they stay down and count toward your rack score....a

In EO you always take ball in hand behind the headstring after the break....it's unclear from the rule book whether or not you have to shoot "outside" the kitchen, but I think, based on the BCA defintion of "ball in hand", and since the only qualifier, is "behind the headstring", you are allowed to shoot balls in the kitchen....in 6 Pocket you play from where the cue ball comes to rest, except in the case of a foul and break where you can place the cue ball behind the headsring but have to shoot outside the kitchen....

The no penalty issue is a pretty big difference as is the inside/outside kitchen issue

Also of note is the fact there is no "defined" handicap system for EO and in 6 Pocket, we have Level Play.

Thank you for explaining the difference. Good Luck with your new 6 Pocket League.
