Bonus ball
- Thread starter real bartram
- Start date
I don't know.
do you know how to use it?
When I saw a thread was started by Chris Bartrum I expected it to say, (sorry long) after the title. 
The scoreboard has not been finished. Nathan said quite some time ago That he was working on it. It is still disabled. He must be very busy with other bonus ball related things.
You just can't play bonus ball without the scoreboard. it is way too crucial to know what ball you are on and the score.
Also pros are never going to gamble at something when they both aren't totally sure of the rules.

i'm pretty sure, that i've got the T-shirt, to PROVE it -
- and it's close to LUXURYs....
Yeah I'm sure he's swamped.
Not in its current form IMO. It doesn't transfer to us wannabe shortstops and bangers.
As a wannabe Smooth Criminal, I could see myself playing this game - IF THEY F'G SIMPLIFIED IT JUST A TAD TO REACH THE MASSES!!!! But we, nor are halls, buying purple and orange balls. Get real, right?
I don't know why, but I can't stop laughing.
Right
I just hate that they jacked around the players which a lot of them are friends
I hate it too Chris. I might have used the word "hate" 4 times in my life (3rd grade school teacher was a peach).
Now 5. Some are my friends too. Many here have friends know they've taken the pipe. Sucks.
I just believe the hope isn't gone. Too much $$$ into it and possibilities still exist.
WOW, it getting naughty around here.....
yea, Lou & i have a little "history".... we're swapping avatars.... hopefully JAM will be OK w/ them -
Yes I was being facetious.
Ok my bad. On another forum I used to be on everything tongue in cheek or sarcastic was put into orange type. I liked that policy.
They had high praise for the game until their checks bounced.
Bonus Ball is a very tiny footnote in the history of Billiards. To me, this match between you and Gene is more significant in the long run.
Aren't you jumping the gun? I don't see any announcement on the AZB or BB home pages indicating that BB is over.
Or should Bartram's posting be construed as the official announcement that we've all been waiting for?

My guess is the only person playing BB currently is the janitor of the arena. His work load has decreased significantly recently, allowing him to sneak in a lot of BB table time. Ironically, the guy never played much pool before this job, and most likely wont after. I also hear he's about to get a new job, something about not getting paid on time or something.
I have great admiration and respect for the BB players skills and accomplishments outside of BB. I just couldn't be a fan of BB, and I love billiards of all kinds. You know that pool game at the fairs, pay $20 to make 3 balls for the big prize, yeah for me that's what watching BB was like. I don't blame the players at all, their just following an income in their chosen profession. You see how long that lasted when the money stopped coming in.
If BB returns (doubtfully), I wish the players no ill fate and hope it works out for everyone involved. That just won't include me as a fan of the game, and I'm also sure they couldn't care less if I am or not. They made that pretty clear early on.
Dopc.

Wouldn't it be easier to just buy 3ea. 4-balls & 3ea. 5-balls and carry them with you?.,..think about it.,......
