Tournament pet peeve
- Thread starter cousindan
- Start date
Pretty much that. Last year VNEA Vegas tourney, one of guys on a team that we were playing at the time had his girlfriend out. She and another pulled up a table and chairs close to the short rail.
Whenever we do play league on this table, one of the first things we do is move the tables and chairs away from this particular table.
So, obviously they were constantly in our way. She was more interested in playing UTube videos and music on her phone full volume than she was in watching the game.
She would call on one of the other players to come over and watch a video or a new movie trailer.
I was playing this womens boyfriend and I sat down at our table and didn't shoot. The guy asked me if there was something wrong.
I said, "yes, did we come here to play in a tournament or to watch movie videos."
They got the hint as I am half deaf and tend to talk louder than needed most times so everyone heard me.
So yes, if you're genuinely interested in watching the game, by all means, but if all you're doing is killing an afternoon and want to kill the game, leave the old lady at home.

Ass cracks.
This isn't really a tournament issue (though I suppose it could be). But recently a young scruffy looking kid comes into the pool room, pulls a stick off the wall and starts batting them around. And he leans over for his first shot and his jeans are past half-mast and it looks like he's not wearing any underwear. I have never seen such big, hairy, ugly ass crack in a pool room in my life. So eventually the kid says, "Play sum for 10 a game?" And I think to myself, "You could not pay me a $100 a game to look at your big, hairy, ugly ass crack." So I decline

I find bare tits on my back very distracting. Whether at a tournament, or otherwise.

That's wrong in so many ways.

Damn Tramp, why don't you have them surgically removed??? :thumbup:

definitely drives me bunkers to have people chatting up a storm next to me (loud) with shitty or good commentary about someone's skills. During league play it pisses me off the rest of the time I don't care.
People who slam balls and or the rack on the table.
People to put the rack on the lamp, ( I'm really short and I hate looking up at the lamps more than needed. Use the flipping rack holder people.
People who persistently use their phones, and cause repetitious delays in the game. I have kids I understand that you may need to check in with someone. But, this shouldn't take 30 f'kn minutes. This may be tied with the people who aren't playing and chatting up a storm next to the game table.
Maybe get a girlfriend of your own, and do the same when its his turn? Hell, get 2
Good vent!
Yes! Good vent!
One thing I'd add is not having playing rules posted anywhere, - for leagues or tournaments. And when there's a disagreement, the owners make up a rule on the spot, or say, "Just ask someone who knows..."

Ya'all need to spend some time playing in a loud, busy bar..
I don't think an elephant farting at the table over could shark me. Now, if it cracked a joke, that may work.. but, only because I let it!
I almost don't like playing with people that get sharked with every little thing. It makes me feel like I can't take a breath without worrying that they're going to turn around and scold me. If your focus is that weak, you should work on it.. a lot!

QFT.All I have to play in around where I live is bars.Once I'm down on my shot,nothing phases me,aside from a physical interruption.
Okay! This made me literally laugh out loud! Fo about sixty seconds! Between this and OMGWTF's blog post, I smiled more today reading the forum than a long time. :smile:
the best complaint
was Earl vs SVB on the 10ft in ohio a few years ago.. Earl missed a shot and turned around and told someone in the crowd that he crunched his sandwich too loud......Dont know if it was the lettuce or the pickel...My suggestion to earl is he should play in a wax museum, then if someone moves or speaks get out of town.......
