Wikipedia claims that cuesports is an alternate spelling of cue sports, but I can hardly find it anywhere, nor this singular form. Equinox 14:46, 12 May 2009 (UTC)Reply

Cited from Usenet. (Sorry for the glut of cites; I added the first one I saw, then the earliest and latest on Usenet — and all three were from the same newsgroup. So I had to go back and add some from other groups. Unsurprisingly, all are cuesport newsgroups, and there's definitely cross-pollination/incestuousness/pick-your-metaphor among their membership, but I do think it's enough to consider it cited for the purposes of an "alternative spelling" entry.) —RuakhTALK 02:17, 18 May 2009 (UTC)Reply
Much as I love Usenet, I see it as a last resort in terms of citing. Perhaps we should mark this as rare or non-standard. In any case, the citations are sound, so I am striking this. Equinox 02:21, 18 May 2009 (UTC)Reply
