***Onlookers***
When you're playing a match, you will always have at least a few people watching, whether to assist, to cheer you on, or just to keep score. Some players take the edge off with a drink, while others are entirely unaffected. Keep your focus, and everything will work out well!

This April has started off like so many others, with clouds, a breeze, and unpredictable precipitation. Hopefully the coming days will be a little brighter, but in the meantime, why not spend some time with us, playing pool, having a drink, and hanging out with friends? Come on by!

***10 Ball***
10 Ball is a great game to play competitively. It's a rotation game, where you must shoot at the lowest numbered ball on the table, but unlike 9 Ball, you must call your shots. It's being played tonight as half of USAPL Double Jeopardy Thursdays, so come check it out!

***Cues***
Most of our players bring their own cues to our hall, though we do provide plenty of cues for our guests as well. Often on league nights, there are tables that look similar to today's photo, showcasing a variety of personal cues. Don't be afraid to shoot with whatever is available!

***Foot***
In certain cases, it is considered acceptable to lean up on a table, as long as one foot is still on the floor. For cases when you're not able to reach with a foot on the floor, we have bridges available. Come out to grab a drink and get warmed up before APA/BCA 8 Ball Leagues tonight!

***Hooked***
You may occasionally find yourself in this difficult situation, wherein you are unable to hit your object Ball because the cue is hooked behind the point. There are a few ways out of this, all of them risky for their own reasons.. Come see which option works best for you!

***Cue***
You might notice that some of our tables have cue balls with additional blue spots on them. These spots can help you to determine if you've used any unintentional English, but their real purpose is to show when the cue ball has stopped spinning after a shot! APA Double Jeopardy tonight!

Proper lighting is important directly over a pool table, so you'll find that all of our tables are very well lit. Other areas around our hall, though, are lit a little differently, in ways that enhance the chill environment you find at Empire. APA and BCA Leagues are up!
