Question

What is the best way to prepare for a pool tournament?

Answer 1

practice

Answer 2

Here's the way I do it:

1. Practice on accuracy; as you know, some hard shots need more accuracy than power

2. Practice power with advance level; such as putting more than 5 balls in a snake-form and try to get all of them in. Try to get to 15

3. Relax & have fun

Answer 3

with confidence, even if your playing a superior player you have be confident that your going to win that match.

Answer 4

I play better after I have had three beers, relaxes you and loosens the arm, so get there early and have a drink.

Of course after three beers it could just be that I don't care so much and only think I am playing better, when actually the opposite is true.

Answer 5

Really it's whatever works for you. It's good if you can simulate the tournament conditions going in to it, such as playing for however many hours each night or something. The more you know about the venue (types of tables, balls, and cloth) will help to. Some people shoot better if they're relaxed, others like to get psyched up a bit. Generally I'd recommend being well-rested too, but maybe some people play better when they're struggling to stay awake.

Answer 6

Food rest and dont bring anything but your game to the table

Answer 7

Practice on your weak spots and work on concentration
