Going Out to Cali...

So every year for the past 16 years there has been a modest pool tournament down in LA called "The Jay Swanson Memorial 9-Ball Tournament" (go google it or http://www.playbca.com). So late last year i was watching one of the TAR pod casts (I think it was the first one you tube it or http://www.theactionreport.com/home.html) and they mention this tournament and I go hmmmm I could play in that. So 1 money order an express post envelope and some postage I was on my way to being entered. I would now like to direct your attention to this link http://www.playbca.com/Events/201216thAnnualJaySwansonMemorial.aspx and if you scroll down the list tada who's got @ thumbs and is playing in "The 16th Annual Jay Swanson.... "The SWANEE">>>>>>>>>> This Guy awww yeah

Now all I have to do is

1. Book off work (easy)
2. buy a plane ticket / get there (hmm ok)
3. book a hotel (oh boy)
4. And the most important of all learn how to play "pro level 9-ball" in about a month

Oh snap yo!!! I mean I've played 9-ball before even played in a few local 9-ball tournament but this this is by far going to be the biggest pool tournament I've ever played in. Its in another COUNTRY!!! If you go back to the list for a second and look at the names of people already signed up I have a shirt that says "What Would Efern Do" hes playing in this Madness i tell you!!!

Well that's all i have for now I'm going to try to be a bit more diligent with the blogging leading up to this as it should be a gooder but for now

Peace out

Play-offs!!!

So its that time of year again its time for the Active pool play-offs see link http://www.blogger.com/www.aactivecoin.com . My goal for this season (so what if I set it half way through the season) was to at least be %50 percent for weighted average, wins to loses that sot of thing and well here's the numbers the weighted average -0.04 so just a bit of the mark then wins to games played 49/112 so also not quite. Looking back on the season it could have been better team wise it was a good season play wise "inconsistent" would be the word, that and my break it's now fairly good nice ball spread good cue ball control but zilch going down WTF and then the odd time i screw it up I'll get a ball or 2 down but nowhere to go from so need to work on that.

Now on to play-off fever the singles tournament stats Mon 25 @ 6pm woo woo and Cougars N' Cubs first game is 6:15 pm vs Polyorchid. twitter on the right side of the page will be the place to get all the update well that's all for now

In best Camera Work the Oscar Goes To...

Not this blogger. So a while back I did some video work 1) was the stuff in my pool case and 2) a walk though of the Broken spoke. So video 1) got scraped because a week or so after I got a new case got rid of some stuff etc so i need to shoot that again. Video 2) let me tell you it was bad I mean really bad, nay REALLY REALLY REALLY BAD. there was random noise in the back round, the colour was off, it was shaky lets just say I'm glad I have a digital video camera because if not it would of been an epic waste of film. This being said I'm going to buy a tripod and try it all again so I'll keep you posted

The Twitter

Just added a "twitter" widget to ye old blog ooohh fancy. Tonight I continue my quest to break even with the win to lose ratio in pool. Last night played the "first" night for bonus ball league it was interesting have to say not a fan or the format, 3 player teams 3 rounds, 2 rounds of scotch doubles then 1 round of singles... not a fan of scotch doubles meh also coaching is allowed hmm well i post more as the season goes on. well I'm off to get ready for regular league tonight finally a home game at the spoke
