Fascinating. Knew we could count on you, Lou, for a colorful report on dcc!!

Did you blow it, or were you beaten?? I'm curious as to who had the misfortune of drawing your name first round?? Must have been a killer.

Lost to a good player but the tables in the main tournament room got me too -- we don't have any equipment in STL that fast.

Don't know if I would call it chillin' but I am hacking my way through a long list of honey do's.

Don't know if you've ever seen the T-shirt that says:

IF I SAID I WAS GOING TO FIX IT
I'M GOING TO FIX IT!
You don't have to remind me
every six months

Gail has called in my debits.

Just to be fair and balanced here, on occasion I put on Iron Maiden's Number of the Beast album when I play and I swear my game jumps two balls every time I do!

How were the holes??
Also, did you find they banked short??

Pockets were fine but the tables were speedy.

First game I shot a narrow cross table bank that I'm a favorite to make or hang up. The ball came up way short, went cross table and sat in front of the other guy's pocket. It was down hill from there.

The Bigfoot is only the best tournament of the entire event, by far!

The Bigfoot was created by Greg to popularize 10' tables -- that ship has sailed and sunk.

You might as well put a snooker table out there to tie up the Accu-Stats table. I don't think anyone really cares about the Bigfoot and most folks would much rather see some of the bank pool and 1pocket matches.

No kidding??
I've heard nightmare tales like yours once too often to think it's just guys making excuses.
Those tables bank short IMHO. It's happened to me as well.
