The APA is tough action.
I've been sharked by my own team
One night my team captain told my opponent not to shoot so hard...
This one is solved easily. Just stand at the end of the table waiting. They will look at you funny but the light will come on and they will hunt for the balls. If they do it again, stand there again and wait for them. It won't take a game or two before they realize you're not moving to get those balls. I have only had to verbally tell one person - it was in my one session of APA, ironically enough.
The first thing I was told by my friend teaching me after winning my very first game of pool...the winner is responsible for the top four pockets.
That was the point :smile:. Johnnyt
Loses and says "I didnt feel like playing tonight"
I'm definitely with you on this one. If you want me to shoot the game ball, sit in your chair just like you did for every other ball. If you want to concede, let me know before I'm down on the game ball. There should be no in between.
Personally, I have on occasion conceded games that I probably shouldn't have because I started moving towards the table too early, but once I've made that move and distracted my opponent, I always give them the game.
One of my pet peeves that has happened more than once over the last few weeks is shooting the game shot on a hill - hill match and the player is fiddling with quarters. Mind you the match will be over and quarters won't be needed. I'll get up from the shot and look at the player and the quarter playing stops. As soon as I get back down and ready to fire in the shot, here comes the quarter fiddling. I finally just shoot the ball in.
you have some people in all leagues who dont have the common sense god gave a pissant. why blame just apa players.
you want me to give you some examples of my bcapl playing days and say bcapl pfffttt ?
i do not want to derail this thread but you apa bashers really get me. do i bash the bcapl for an inept lo. ? no. do i bash the bcapl for being a poorly run league in my area and subsequently folding. no. do i bash the bcapl for bs moves i saw by players when i played in it ? no.
i hold individual people accountable for their actions, not an entire league.
if you have a$$holes in a league where you play,whether it be apa, bcapl or whatever league , it is a reflection of the type of citizens in your community, not a reflection of an entire national pool playing organization.
to me nothing is more aggravating than slow play. they look around the table like they have never played pool before. and then think this way and then that way, no its some other way. For Christs sake just shoot the damn ball. Pool isnt that hard
I know a few pros who would disagree with that.

Coos Cues
We have a guy who will stand there like a wooden Indian holding his cue and when you get close to the end of the run will walk over and put it in it's holder and then stand there with his arms crossed. He's a big son of a ***** so you can't help but notice. He doesn't care whether you're down on a shot or just looking over the table. I argued with him one time that this is a defacto concession and refused to continue shooting. I don't know if that's true or not but it's definitely a sharking move. I got tired of arguing about it so now I just have him on my team. :smile:
I agree with you %100! And since you said top ten things, I won't add anything. Good Thread.
Many Regards,

Top ten things that annoy me...
1. Extreme slow play.
2. Crap players missing a shot by a mile and getting a lucky safe out of it.
3. Those players laughing/rejoicing about the shot above.
4. Other players watching shot above and saying it was a great shot.
5. People toteing a baseline Predator around and saying its a big custom.
6. Crap tables.
7. Tables that are good except for "1" pocket.
8. Smokey venues.
9. Loud repeating music in those venues.
10. People touching my stuff or asking to use it.
10.5. People saying good shot when you didn't get position at all!
Sorry, I just felt like venting.... not trying to hijack! :grin:

Why did he say ZERO to you?
Maybe he was calling you a Zero.
Maybe he called you Zorro.
Maybe he called you a Hero.
Maybe he thought you were Italian and called you Nero.
Why did he Pee so much?
Did you ask him?
Should have told him, "One Pee per game buddy, when yer playing the Big Brucero".
You do play at a retirement community pool room, don't you?
Not the norm being RUDE!
