Iam sure this thread has been done before but its snowing where I am and iam bored at work. So for entertainment purposes what is the Weirdest thing you've ever witnessed while playing pool at home league tournament where ever ????

Mine was I was playing on a valley bar box night and another match was underway when one of the team members showed up late. It was his game right then and he was all in a fluster to get there. It was his break too. So in the midst of it all he pulls out his breaker puts it together or so he thought. racks the balls and sets up for the break shot. He swings his heart out mis cues and the shaft which we later determined wasent screwed on more then a quarter thread flew straight up hit the light and came down in the middle of the rack. Needless to say he was a little embarrassed and I had to wipe the tears from laughing so hard.
 
near perfect break

Weird things in pool halls? Naah, never happens!

Fellow made a near perfect break. Hit the head ball and the rack expoded with several balls in the eight ball rack being pocketed. Shame it was on the table in the next row over from his.

Something weird that left me to wonder seems kind of minor. In a crowded pub/bar that was holding a pretty large nine ball bar table tournament I was sitting near one table but watching my friend play at the next table over with the occasional look at the table I was closest to.

A living legend was shooting on the closest table and his opponent had wandered off. There was an interesting cluster and I wondered how he was going to solve it. Didn't break it out on the couple shots running up to it and it was going to take some near Efren magic to deal with it now. The shooter casually shot a ball several inches in front of the next ball easily pocketing it and sending the cue ball into the correct ball to break the cluster. Two more shots ignoring the next ball to be shot then he casually shot it in the corner pocket.

The lighting was good and he never turned a hair when he went to shoot the ball the second time with it now badly out of sequence. When did he discover the mistake? Was there a mistake or was it a deliberate move? A little thing but totally unexpected considering the general reputation of the player and something that leaves me scratching my head still, several years later.

My step dad broke the balls and the cue ball rolled out the door and down the street. I doubt there had ever been a cue ball that traveled further after the break by accident.
 
I broke once and the cue ball jumped the table and hit a cop in the face as he walked in the front door. Gave him a bloody nose. He was pissed. Tried to accuse me of intentionally doing it... Took forever to convince him it was an accident.
 
One evening back in the late 80's, I was playing and APA match against a 6 when I was a 4. It was one of those nights where everything fell in the pockets and safes were iron clad. My opponent got frustrated and after the match, he shot the cue ball into the opposite side rail as hard as he could. The cue ball flew off the side rail and hit him square in the forehead. I just shook my head and asked if he needed any medical attention.

Ya it has, but everytime there's a new thread about it there's new people seeing it and new sets of experiences, it always makes for a good read. I was playing a buddy once and he was down on his shot...and he...I don't know how to explain this but you know when learning to use a clutch on a car they often make the car shake violently? Well it's like his body had a clutch. his whole body started shaking in a back and forth motion while trying to stroke like he was having a seizure then managed to follow threw the stroke totally missing the Cueball and hitting another ball and immediately fell to the table yelling "what the heck was that!!??" I couldn't shoot for a fees minutes from laughing so hard.


I lied. It was me
 
i once broke a rack of 9 ball and the cue ball flew off the table went air born and just missed the owners head:o and smashed the plastic sign of the Pepsi machine:sorry:....only time that had ever happened......over 20 years ago....if it had hit the owner in the head i would still be barred..:D..was funny at the time...by the way...made 4 balls on the break:thumbup:
 
1. I once broke playing 9 ball and the cb flew in the air, hit the next table's playing surface, bounced twice and continued down the hall. The guy on the other table was just getting ready to shoot.

2. I broke, hit the 1 ball, the ball flew and hit the overhead light.

3. Just last week while playing progressive 3/6/9 9 ball, I made all three money balls on the break. The balls were racked in the best positions.

4. Playing 8 ball I made 6 stripes on the break, had no shot on the 7th stripe so I choose the solids and ran out.

I always wait for the racker to be clear before breaking.

I broke and the cue ball shattered. Pieces all over the table and it rested on the shattered hemisphere.

This was in a bar playing league so I'm not shocked that a ball had micro cracks in it.

The weird part was my opponent screaming from up on high that he got to shoot where it lay with a fresh cue ball and that I surrendered my turn since it was a 'scratch'. He's a decent shot, too, not just some dude at some bar.
 
A woman amd her boyfriend were playing at table next to me. The boyfriend kept encouraging her to break agaainst her will because she " didnt think she could do it right."

After a number of times of him unsuccessfully trying to get her to break, giving in and breaking for himself, she finally agreed to try to break to shut him up.

She got down, focused, adjusted her bridge, took 20 practice strokes at least. She reered back and slammed the cueball. Great break.

At the moment of cueball contact, she farted. And not just any fart. It was a booming ripper. It was hilarious; but nobody laughed. Everyone stared in a mixture of disbelief and awe. Honestly, I was impressed.

She slammed her cue on the table throwing it into and under the footrail. All she could say to her boyfriend as she scurrying towards the door was, "PAY THE ****ING BILL. I TOLD YOU I DIDNT WANT TO DO THIS!"

At the local poolroom many years ago a regular had his new girlfriend with him and there was several in a group playing 9 ball rotating turns at the table, the new GF was shown how to rack 9 ball and told a few basic rules...
She racked the balls and the opponent breaks... A number ball flys off the table on the break, she picks the ball up from the floor and puts it on the foot spot... Her BF says to her that the ball that comes off the table "drops" so she walks up and picks the ball up and holds it out like a golf drop and drops it to the playing area....
Everyone hit the floor as she stood there not knowing what everyone was laughing about.... It was extremely funny at the time and place.

There many more good laughs but I'm out of time at the moment.

I would have laughed so hard. Then I would have given her a high 5 for a impressive fart and a nice break.
 
Watched a league player walk up to a table and run out.when he was done the guys playing on the table said "rack them for us ,your table is that one".
We all had a good laugh!
 
A loudmouth that I'd never seen before walks into our local and starts taking the piss out of some guys playing $10 a game, for their lack of skill and the stupid rules they were playing. A rare occurrence that got his goat was an 8-ball going in off the break, after which they re-racked, as was the national rules at the time. He made quite a fuss about that, suggesting it should be loss of game, and insisted he'd play anyone $50 a game playing his rules.

A friend accepted his challenge. They tossed for the break. The loud mouth won the toss and promptly broke the balls and made the 8-ball on the break! Loss of game under the rules he fought to play by.

It was his last $50. His face went white and he promptly left the club.

Restrained giggles turned to laughter as he exited.
