Everbody at Buffalo Billiards thought it was funny......

You played three games.... is that right? :groucho:

Yeah.......:COLOR]

We want more details on the loss :grin:

Sounds like a couple of things are going on here:

1. You have a strong game.

2. You are a good sport.

Both are compliments, hope to meet you one day soon....

Same here, Big Perm.

P.S. sounds like I need a huge spot from you

Quit giving up those "secrets" Frank or I will have to sign you to a contract and put you in the booth with me. :smile: (And NO, it is me that needs the spot. The GingerBread Man told me so.)

I agree with the above poster, the better players don't spend much money, it is the league type player that spends the money on buckets of beer. It is entertainment and a chance to see all their buddies. I do not mind giving up spots, it is my choice to play or not play. Plus it has made me a better player giving up the last 2 or 3. We had a nice "B/C" tourny in Detroit. Got around 15-25 people every week, no handicap. An "A" player took it over and starting letting "A" players in. That lasted about 4 weeks and only 4-6 A players were left and the tourney went away.

We get 30-45 players almost every week. Buff likes to keep the race short and sweet. Race to two.

I understand what you're saying, but having owned a pool room that ran weekly tourneys I can tell you that most of the people playing don't do it to get better or advance in the game. Most do it because it is fun for them to have a chance to compete on a level playing field while being around friends. They do it to have a good time and maybe win a few bucks.

The patrons at Buffalo Billiards seem to love this tournament as it grows by the week. I think most everyone is doing it to have a good time and that includes me. The additional compound of the handicap gives me my challenge fix.
