I don’t understand what accessories I need to buy for the Wii in order to be able to play multiplayer. I get that I should buy an additional Wii Remote Controller, and Wii Nunchuk Controller. Do I need to buy the Wii Classic Controller at all? Also, do I need to buy a memory card (if so, would 1GB be enough to start)?

Last thing — would $450.00 be a reasonable price if all of these things are included?

Whe were the very top performers of all time in their sports’ field??
… the most dominant of all??

To me, there is no question at all!!

Wlater Lindrum in billiards absolutely dominated the game worldwide for a great period.
They kept changing the rules to try and thwart his dominance, but all to no avail!!
In that sense, you could call him ‘King of kings’ in sport.

Only just a hair behind him, in my view, was ‘Sir Donald Bradman’ – king of the cricket bat!!
He was the only player in history to have basically averaged 100 runs each time he went in to bat!!!! … that was his average!!
No one else has ever got near it – worldwide – in the 70 years since!

What think ye??
Sorry … the name of the all-time top billiard king is ‘Walter Lindrum’

Reagan’s Mommy TTC #2 asked:


What would you do? I am in a sales support position and one of the two sales people I support is constantly hitting on me. He knows I love my husband very much. A while ago, my husband (at the time BF) were on a “break” and I went to a football game with a ton of people from work, him being one. After the game he asked if I wanted to get pizza, I thought nothing of it so I went along. Then we went to a billiard hall and danced to a few ACDC songs… Nothing flirtatious at all… Now he wont leave me alone and I don’t know what to do. I have told my husband the entire story, he thinks he is a complete jerk. Today as my co-worker and I were running errands for work, he told me that I am beautiful and he knows why my husband would be jealous. I am not sure what to do because I do not want this type of attention from him, I spend a good 50 hours a week around him, working directly with him. Should I tell our boss? How should I diplomatically bring it up? He once texted me something non work related and I texted him back that all of our interaction needs to be strictly professional.

Hi. My dad and I were playing a game of 8 ball, and decided to play with this change:

You must hit the 1 and 15 in the side pockets, but both can not be shot into the same pocket.

It ended up being the 8 ball, the 1, and the 15 on the table at the end.

He got his 15 in front of a side hole, and because I wanted to play defensively, I moved his 15 away from the hole instead of shooting directly at my ball.

Because the Billiard Congress of America doesn’t have rules for this type of game play, I was wondering if we would go by “house rule” standards, or “8 ball rule” standards.
If we were to go for 8 ball rule standards, (which would be if all of your balls were gone off the table except the 8 ball) I believe it would be a ball-in-hand.
But being that I had a ball (the 1) left on the table still, does that rule even apply?
I feel that this is a legal move because you see people accidentally hit other opponent’s balls in and both accidentally move other’s balls throughout games.

George Wood asked:


Many of the billiards games get their basic principles of game play is the billiards game of rotation. The actual game of rotation is as challenging as any billiards game can be, even if seven ball, nine ball, and ten ball come from the basic idea of rotation. The player is required to hit the lowest numbered ball first in an effort to make more difficult shots, but, he is not required to call the shot that they wish to hit.

The rack is displayed like this: the number one ball on the tip, the two and three balls at the back corners, the fifteen ball being directly in the center of the rack. Based on the point value for each individual ball, scoring in rotation billiards requires that the point value is the number on the ball. A legally pocketed ball is a ball that is pocketed after a shot hits the lowest numbered ball on the table first, so the shooter gets credited for every legally pocketed ball on each shot.

Until the shooter does not legally pocket a ball, the player is entitled to continue shooting, every time a shooter pockets a ball legally. To accrue more points by pocketing high numbered balls than it is opponent, is the players goal. Any shooter who gets 61 point at any time during the game, is declared the winner of the game, because there are 120 points available when totaling all 15 balls. To win in the rotation billiards there is no final shot needed, the only purpose of the game is to score more total points than the opponent.

Very similar to many other sports, rotation billiards is required of you to simply outscore your worthy adversary. Is easier to understand for newcomers to the game, but also, it does demand skill for dreaming up shots that can first hit the lowest numbered ball on the table before pocketing a ball.

One Pocket Billiards Game: One pocket billiards is the billiards answer to soccer, while 14.1 continuous billiards is the billiards answer to basketballs horse. Requiring to shooter to specialize in specific types of shots, in on pocket billiards the table is cut from six pockets for shots to two open pockets. You do not have to call what ball will go into that pocket but, you must call the desired pocket for your shot in one pocket billiards.

The desired pocket on every shot is the opponents target goal, and that is the similarity for one pocket billiards to soccer. Requiring somewhat of a defensive strategy in addition to the usual offensive strategies of billiards, each play is essentially defending a target pocket. If a player shoots a ball into one of the four other pockets instead of making a ball into the opponents target pocket, then the shot is declared something like “illegally pocketed ball”.

The opponent receive a winning point total if a shooter accidentally pockets a ball in their own goal pocket, and then, they do indeed lose the game. The shooter would have pocketed over half of the total billiards ball into the opponents pocket only if they reach the object. The object is to get to eight balls pocketed in the target or opponents goal pocket. The shooter loses only if the shooter has six pocketed balls and his or her opponent has seven total and the shooter accidentally pockets a ball in his or her own goal.

Before starting the game, the two shooters should choose which pocket they wish to use as a target pocket. The breaking shooter is required to make at least one ball into the targeted pocket, and the balls are set up in the racking triangle at random. Also, is required that the shooter makes a contacted ball hit a cushion, to continue his/her turn as the shooter. The game is over if the target pocket is scored on eight or more times.
