Players need to chill out!

Due to the spirit and excitement of the game of pool and the ladder system, many players have been getting pretty rude and say things that are uncalled for. I for one have been guilty of this and I am sorry if I offended anyone of you. I think we need to remember its only a game and to keep our wits in tact. Money can do strange things to people, but we must not let it get the best of us. Thank you for listening. BillyTheKid

At GameColony.com you can play games of skill only -- play for free or play for $prizes!.
According to the statutes of most states in the United States, gambling is defined as: "risking something of value upon the outcome of a contest of chance". (Also see No Gambling!). The skill (as opposed to chance) is predominant in games of skill. Playing games of skill for $prizes, therefore, has nothing to do with gambling as it is not a contest of chance -- the more skillful player will win far more often. The chance element of a 'gamble' is either insignificant or missing. When players compete in tournaments or games of skill for $prizes -- it is "competitive entertainment" rather then "gambling". The more skilled winner will always win more matches, tournaments and $prizes.
