    Thanks for making a newby feel welcome!

    My wife and I got into town late on Friday and we had to drive back early on Sunday, so I didn't get to meet as many of you guys as I'd have liked to. Frankly, I was terrified to mix it up with real one-pocket players. I've never played in a tournament, let alone one that was live-streamed...

It sounds like the cueball goes inside a circle of balls, and you try to bank the balls without the cueball...
