If you want to discuss shots, there is a really cool tool called a "Cue Table." It allows you to position balls on a table in order to set up shots. It requires a Macromedia Shockwave plug-in.

Those promoters who truly are interested in promoting the sport and running "fair" tournaments could spend a little more time and weed out the A, AA and Master's Players if they so choose. THEY CHOOSE NOT TO BECAUSE OF THE ALMIGHTY $$.
When you look at whose cashing in a B/C tournaments and these individuals are on published State lists as being an A, AA, AAA or Masters, it's obvious that they are not B/C players and the promoter has not taken the time to figure it out. SHAME ON THEM.
We can debate the bar box/big table handicap all day long, but the game still consists of angles/leaves and making shots. This would be an example of a promoter not taking the time to weed out the "cons" and allow "newbies" B & C players to compete against each other rather than watch a AA run 4 racks.
This is one reason I've crossed certain tournaments off my list. They have consistently proven that it is about the $$ rather than the fairness of play and equalling the level of competition based on what they have advertised and the published information available.
Happy Shooting.................
I have never seen anybody, let alone a B/C player, run 4 racks in a row without breaking!
