So, I am playing in my first APA 9 ball tournament and they tell me that I need sink 700 balls to my opponents 14. I say but this is nine ball, a win comes from sinking the nine. Their response "Mr Bill Yard, you don't understand billiards and fair play, besides you should be able to run out and beat your opponent anyway" I say, then let's play straight pool, that is more fair. Their response: "WTF is straight pool? We only shoot balls at angles."
