Bonus ball scoring with a coin

[Scottyboy716]

Copied from a post by Nathan:

-> Each diamond represents 3 points, so you want to move your coin 10 diamonds to get to 30 points. Half diamond if you sink purple, and then onto the next diamond if you sink orange. That gives you 3pts, which is why your coin would stop under a diamond. Full diamond jump for the BB, since its 3pts on its own.It makes it easy, because if you come to the table and your coin is under a diamond, you automatically know you're on purple. If not, you're on orange. Same with your opponent, so its instinctive to always know what ball both players are on.

I like it. :thumbup: As a matter of fact, I'm going to see if I can introduce the game to one of my playing partners using this scoring system. Very nice indeed.

I want to watch Friday night's match between the Philippine team and Atlanta. Is it free on ESPN3?

I don't think so. It's a charity event. I think the ppv is for charity.

Is that taking place instead of the charity match Jay?

They are not advertised to play Atlanta either. Jay might know something we don't though.

Yes, it is a charity match to benefit the Philippine typhoon victims. Dennis O., Warren K. and Carlo B. are playing Johnny, Dennis H. and John Morra. I will absolutely buy it if I have to. I just want to know what to do so I can watch it.

It was advertised as Darren, Thorston, and John on ppv.

Should be a good match either way... nah the Filipinos are going to get drove.

I love it! Would love it even more if they would get that scoreboard back online.

It is pretty simple. Just go to their site and click on the ppv tab, then register, then log in and buy. You can pay with paypal.

If you use the side pocket as a diamond, it totals 30 points when you get to the last center diamond at the end of the table. If you don't, you have to jump past the center, this can get confusing at the end of a game.

Barry Bremner (vpbb) came up with this system long before Nathan mentioned it. I know, because he showed me. When I asked him why they never showed people this, he said Larry forbid it because eventually he wanted to sell scoreboards. Same as using Purple and Orange balls, it was to produce sales for the league. Well, we all know how that went!

Enjoy playing the game, it is fun and simply use four dark solids and four light stripes and everyone can play the game! Have fun!
