Bring your own eight ball. Cost you about $10.
It will pay for itself in only 1000 games, give or take a hundred.
I am not sure why you think this stuff is trivial? Would you go play bowling if the lanes were not oiled? Would you go to a restaurant if the floor was sticky?
No, actually, it's in Rapid City, South Dakota. But I suspect you knew that.Is that some place in California?
The pool hall does not really have any in house leagues. I do play there when they are open and when I am not sleeping and match there hours. They only have 7 rental tables that are first come first serve. 3 of them are 9 footers.

Kinda like this place. Seems uninviting. This place doesn't even allow you to bring in your own food. :angry:

Bob <-- where have all the 24-hour pool halls gone?
Do you work second or third shift?
Is the equipment at this real pool hall much better than the bars?
I can't recall if you want to make friends or play good pool from your prior posts.
Bar pool league has got to be the worst way to play pool. From time on table standpoint, to equipment standpoint, to level of play standpoint, etc.
Is there no one to ever play at the pool hall? Do they have a weekly $5 entry tournament you can enter? If not, can you start one?
Are you anywhere near Shane? Can you take a trip to his town and play in the local room in his town?
Well if it is, they have a $12 tourney every Saturday, or maybe every other Saturday. And in October, they are hosting a Shane vs Earl race to 15 exhibition. I found this out after 3 minutes on their FB page.
This is a first I am hearing about this. I might have to try traveling the 238,900 miles and go to this thing.
Will this be the “final post” for all the other user names as well, or just this one?

So this will probably be one of my final posts here. I have finally decided to quit the league I am on. The kind of nail in the coffin for me was the fact that I realized even though it would be rare I am essentially paying twice for one game of pool. Basically I found out that in the league I am in if I or my opponent makes the 8 ball on the break we have to either spot the 8 ball or re-rack.
Do you guys love the game so much that you play even though there are all the issues I have with pool? I am not sure if I love anything that much.
So I have explained this multiple times. I am not sure if you are not reading what I wrote or just trying to get to me. I have 1 pool hall where I live. they only have 7 rental table. No league plays on those tables. All the leagues play on coin op tables. They do not repeat do not open the tables up. There is nor really an in house league. You either play at bars or you don't play league. APA plays 8 ball win on the break.
My only pool hall is only open at 4 pm and closes at 11 pm most nights.
Depends on the bar but at the ones I have asked nope. Also it is less the money and more the principal. Why should I have to pay for a mistake. If I go to a restaurant and the chef makes a mistake normally they fix it or give me my meal free or both. I do not drink alcohol.
I do not drink alcohol.
