Simonis 300 Rapide is more controllable on the bed than synthetic cloth, perfect for games in which precision is a must. Simonis 300 Rapide gives the player maximum control over the game.
While it’s a very thin cloth, the Simonis 300 Rapide bed cloth is thicker with a higher density than synthetic cloth, creating a quieter table that accumulates less chalk dirt. Synthetic cloth on the bed is paper-thin, which in addition to any imperfections already in this cloth makes every imperfection in the slate immediately visible.

We had an interesting tournament this year at the NW Invitational Elks Billiard Tournament, held at the Tacoma Elks Club. We tried 15 Point Games, race to two wins. Because we were unsure of the time elements, we limited the field to 14 players. This turns out to be the ideal field for players of our range ( .350-1.00), using four tables. Half of the Matches went two games, which means half went three games. We had set up the tournament to play the first game of each Match then proceed to play the second, and third if required, however, at the players meeting on Friday the group decided they would like to play three complete Matches each day. This caused delays between games and some consternation amongst those who had to wait. If we do this again, it will be fewer points per game, or play the first game through the flights as originally planned to keep everyone actively playing.
