I hope you experienced pool players will exhibit some patience with those of us who are still learning, both Tourney Directors AND new players in tourneys. I had a player in a pool tourney today who was having some trouble getting a handle on shooting and such, and unfortunately this was MY second pool tourney (I've only played a handful of times myself). So obviously I couldn't tell him very much more than he was figuring out. I wish my players would have been a little more patient with myself and this newbie - I know it isn't much fun to have to wait, but it REALLY sucks the fun out of everyone when the pressure starts......I promise all of you I will play a few games before I try to host again, then I'll have a better handle on the technique. But it would help soooo much that instead of packing up and leaving, if you could please either be patient or offer YOUR help or advice! We're all learning here! You'll be seeing me again, no worries.....I just hope we didn't scare off our new player......that wasn't very nice. We'll ALL be old pros before you know it....lol 
C u all soooooon Christy aka UtahMa

You were a first time player here and had to learn to aim and shoot too? We all start at the same point. And I'm sure that others didn't have patience with you...so pass along some good traits and maybe some tips too....after all we all have a beginning.
I'm no expert but I can at least give some tips...any questions: imaokaylady@msn.com

At GameColony.com you can play games of skill only -- play for free or play for $prizes!.
According to the statutes of most states in the United States, gambling is defined as: "risking something of value upon the outcome of a contest of chance". (Also see No Gambling!). The skill (as opposed to chance) is predominant in games of skill. Playing games of skill for $prizes, therefore, has nothing to do with gambling as it is not a contest of chance -- the more skillful player will win far more often. The chance element of a 'gamble' is either insignificant or missing. When players compete in tournaments or games of skill for $prizes -- it is "competitive entertainment" rather then "gambling". The more skilled winner will always win more matches, tournaments and $prizes.
