Bank Pool League

On Monday, Jan 6th,  Don Hunter started a Bank Pool league that plays at the Hibiscus Rec Center at 9am. To our knowledge there has never been a bank pool league in TV.

Don mentioned that he got a very good response from the emails he sent out to solicit players, so he hopes this will be something that he can keep going. This should be a very competitive league, as many very good players have entered. Feel free to stop in to watch, maintaining pool room etiquette of being quiet.  Here’s a YouTube video of a bank pool match between Efren Reyes and John Brumback in the 2010 Derby City Classic Banks Division Finals.  Weekly standings are below…

BANK POOL RULES

  • The objective of nine ball bank pool is to pocket 5 balls before your opponent. General BCA pool rules apply in bank pool.  Click here for the General Rules of Bank Pool.
  • They will not be playing all ball fouls, but all cue ball fouls and if you move 2 object balls. When a foul occurs you must play the cue ball from the kitchen. If all the object balls are in the kitchen, then the one closest to the head string spots up.
  • All shots must be called, including how many rails. All banks must go in cleanly. They cannot carom off another ball. In Don’s league you will be able to play a 3 or more rail kick shot. When you foul you lose a ball. If you don’t have a ball to spot, then you owe a ball.
  • On the break, 4 balls must hit a rail or a ball must be pocketed. If these conditions are not met, the incoming player has the option of playing the table as it is, or having his opponent re-break. However, if the breaking player miscues and does not make contact with the rack, it is a foul, he owes a ball and the break passes to his opponent. If he miscues and hits the rack and does not hit a rail
