I don't consider pool on a bar table to be pool

Hmmmm

Tell any of the players in the SBE amateur events that they are not playing pool.

.Even if the tables are perfectly maintained it is still a limiting game, and in fact may become even less interesting, if you can believe it. It's boring, crude and lame and can only be favourably compared to darts or bowling (barely). No wait I take it back, I'd much rather bowl or throw darts, and that's really saying something.

It will be a great day for billiards if we can get it remotely close in popularity to darts from what I see on television.
