Happy belated B-Day, You sure had a good one, you killed it! Whitey

Thanks guys for the kind words. I really appreciate it. This writing IMO turned out so well I have to pinch myself. I had a hard time getting the wording to start it off, but once I got that it came together. I am going to put it on parchment paper and frame it, I like it so much! I'll make a...

Pilot, exactly! I joined OP.org just to talk with Billy Incardoa on this very shot, when more than one ball is frozen to the cue is it a foul to shoot into those balls. He stated; " yes, because you are pushing the 1st ball thru the other balls". I believe this is a good rule to keep players...

The above is just a fun exercise I quickly put together today. I was reviewing the BIlliard Congress of America original '67 OP game rule, and simply decided to write my own in that style. This is how it would of looked like if BCA would of charged me to write a game rule in one page or less...

One Pocket Is a unique game in that only the two foot corner pockets are used for scoring. Each player or side is designated one of the foot corner pockets determined by lag or lot with the winner of the lag having the option to break or pass, but maintains choice of pocket. It is a...

I viewed Dr. Dave's Frozen Ball video, and it is excellent representation of cb throw shots.These frozen cue ball shots were not ever allowed in Europe, but when WPA wanted to take over so they too could have large tournaments as America does, then in getting America to join WPA then a...

Exactly, you hit the nail on the head, very perceptive! Where BCAPL / CSI and WPA go wrong is they base Cue Tip Contact Time on a normal shot. But there are shots in billiards that are not normal, such as Masse' Shots, Cushion Compression Shots, and Frozen Cue Ball Shots. These shots are Cue...

My main concern with Dr. Dave's video of the new WPA miscue rule is that players will now elevate their cue butt and miscue on purpose and jump over balls to even pocket a ball. This can and will now happen. Player's will take advantage and exploit rules, and they have video evidence by a WPA...

No foul! Frozen Cue Ball Shot; when the cue ball is frozen to a ball the player may stroke directly towards the object ball. It is illegal to lay the cue tip against the cue ball and then stroke through, a push shot foul . Key words are; 'stroke', 'directly towards'. Stroke; one continuous...

Baby Huey, I suggested the Trick Shot tie breaker, and got no response, and I thought it was a pretty good idea for El Chapo. Especially when each player puts up a 10 and the winner gets the $20. A little drama, and does not suck up much time in deciding the tie game count break. But all games...

5-9 Foul Penalty 1. For each foul you commit you must spot one of your previously scored balls, reducing your score by one. (AR p.104) 2. If you foul and have no previously scored object balls, you “owe one” for that foul and must spot balls after each scoring inning until all “owed balls” are...

BCAPL/CSI One Pocket Game Rule; ONE POCKET 5-1 The Game The game of One Pocket is played with a cue ball and fifteen object balls, numbered 1 through 15, using only the two pockets at the foot of the table for scoring (target pockets). You score by pocketing object balls in your designated...

In regards to the above post, I ran out of space so this is a continuation. In talking with Bill Stock the chief editor of BCAPL / CSI he stated; "it is not our goal to change WPA's rule but to mainly clarify". As we can see by the above post they have been superior to WPA in some areas for a...

Below are BCAPL / CSI general rules from 2008 -2012. I posted these rules just to point out how far behind the WPA New Rule Updates are. Whitey Pocketed Ball Scratch 1. Situation: (a) an object ball (b) the cue ball, comes to rest touching both the bed of the table and one or more previously...

The above post is serious, no joke, just a little lighthearted twist. In Trick Shot World Tournaments when the match is tied they then go to a tie breaker of lagging the cue ball 7 rails, closest to the $100 bill wins the match. EL Chapo, my hats off to you, I do not know how you do it, but...
