[edit] Leagues?

I played bumper pool a lot when I was a kid. I wish it was more popular in the US. Anyone know of any organized leagues for bumper pool, or is it more of a casual game? - JNighthawk 11:41, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

I've heard rumor of such a league, but not found any info on it. — SMcCandlish [talk] [contrib] ツ 14:50, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Validation Requested

Hi! I've been a member of Wikipedia for several months, but this is my first comment (I hope I'm doing it right).

I have a concern regarding the last line in the first paragraph of the description of Bumper Pool: "This type of billiards is mostly played in France".

I've been researching billiards (the history of & many styles of) for the last five years & according to my research, the style of billiards [mostly] played in France is 3-Ball Cushion, very similar to Spanish Carom, not Bumper Pool.

Now in Belgium, there is a more agressive form of Bumper Pool called Golfbiljart [1]. It utilizes the same smaller, rectangular table as American Bumper Pool.

Perhaps this last line in the first paragraph needs to be edited and/or a citation needed to validate this statement.

Thank you -
