Our One Pocket Hall of Fame dinner

[NH Steve]

As most of you know, the Derby City Classic can no longer host our HOF dinner on premises. And anything local would really not be very local, since the nearest town of New Albany is a solid 20 minutes or so away. It's not the Derby/Diamond people's fault at all -- they very much still want us. It is...

I was just reading that the new casino "on one level" opens to the public Dec 12. The boat has apparently closed -- at least they held a bon voyage party already lol. Maybe someone local can check it out after Dec 12. It sounds like the casino will be bleeding into our usual tournament/social...

Yes, a bummer on several fronts. I imagine DCC has a contract with the Horseshoe, but those changes you would think would open the door to negating the remainder of the contract because of the significant changes to the conditions for the DCC -- going forward of course not this year. I might shorten...

Thank you all for your patience while we figure this out -- it is a lot more different than I was expecting too

Also thanks again Cincy for working on this to get it more to our members liking.

The thing about our old version is that it was almost 10 year software, which...

Shooter wins if they pocket their game winning ball, even if they also pocket their opponent's game winning ball, and it does not matter which ball falls first if both balls fall in the same inning -- the shot is not over until all the balls come to rest

You know what is interesting...

PS I wonder what happened to our avatars? I see mine when I go to my profile, but it doesn't seem to be appearing with my posts -- or anyone else except cincy's

There is one new tab for "Posts" and another new tab right next to it for "Latest Activity". It looks like to me that the default for the upgrade is oldest first, whereas before members who were logged in got most recent first -- based on the assumption that they had already read...

Most of us being the amateurs that we are, get a lot of "bad rolls" -- by your opening post -- but as far as I am concerned I believe they simply come with the territory, being an amateur player. I expect not to be perfect lol. Sometimes I hit a ball near perfectly, but many of my shots do...

[NH Steve]

There seems to be a new tab for "latest activity" -- when I clicked that it put the most recent first...

[NH Steve]

Looks like you have hit a new level for sure!

[NH Steve]

In time -- that is the idea. There are a couple stages to get there though....

[NH Steve]

Mobile friendliness is the big thing we are hoping for!...

[NH Steve]

Nice!! Give my best to Riva!!...

[NH Steve]

...and also opening poster says "you can not see the whole ball"

[NH Steve]

Its been Ceasars/Harrahs owned a long time. What changed for this year is the boat is gone and they built a new casino on land. I guess the laws changed to allow that....

I got a local player to try this -- he could easily understand it. You have to understand up here in NH most players have never heard of Bank Pool -- we are way out of "bank pool country" lol.

Rack just 3 balls -- you can call a bank on the break (i.e. four railing one of the...

Yes, it looks like DCC has now leveled entry fees Banks -- One Pocket -- 9-Ball all $160. And someone was asking about the balls and cue balls that will be used. I see the flyer specifically says Cyclop Hyperion pool balls and Cyclop TV (that means measles) cue ball.

The best TV arena seating sells early, but it is easy to get quite good seats for free for most matches just by getting there early and sitting in one of the better free seats. You might get away with perching in a reserved seat, but if the seat holder shows up, out you go lol. PS I never buy the seats...

[NH Steve]

Absolutely and Bogies has been a fantastic generous host -- through two generations of owners now! It is "Bogie's Senior One Pocket" but onepocket.org supports it for sure, and quite a few of the players have affiliation with onepocket.org which we should be proud of!!! However, our own annual memb...
