Schedule of events each day at caribe royale Florida open

Based on past WNT majors, play will start about 11 AM and end about 9PM local time. The final day will be just three matches -- the semifinals played in sequence and then the finals.

The first three days are double elimination to get to 128 players. The Junior event starts on the third day and runs in parallel with the pro event
So I like straight pool what day is that played…

A reality check on aiming systems of all kinds

Actually, it's only about 26.5°, so a half ball hit (30°) would overcut by a couple inches. Could still go in with throw, a roomy (5") pocket, or subconscious adjustment.

Here's how VP4 models the half ball hit:

isnt your cue ball "in the jaws of the pocket" ???
i was told its the line from the facing of the short rail in the pocket

Would love to buy a diamond pool ball cleaner

Over the last 10-15 years I built 3-4 bucket style polishers with dividers such that I could only clean 4 balls at a time. They were all so loud I would use them in the garage. Further, not having an offset pallet, I had to manipulate the balls mid cycle onto a different axis to get all surfaces clean. This necessitated numerous trips out to the garage to get a single set of balls done. Anyway, my buffer just gave out. In the past I had considered fabricating a dual platter setup, but after adding up the price of all the parts, I always threw together another cheap polisher. This time I decided to bite the bullet and buy the Diamond polisher. It's so much easier, quicker, and quiet enough I can leave it in the pool table room. I wish I picked one up sooner. I'm pretty sure it will outlast me.
The only reason I built mine and did not buy a Diamond was because I wanted it to look like something Brunswick made in their Gold Crown line. As you said, after sourcing the parts and materials, it became clear why Diamond charges what they do. IMO, worth every penny.

Do you ever get the feeling that the Fargo Rate of a player just does not seem right?

Are there any leagues or tournaments that use FargoRate for handicapping?
In my opinion, the system will only work for 8ball.
And the top/pro rating is unnecessary as they don’t do handicapping and there are other ranking lists.
BCA nine ball uses Fargo for handicapping.

And it is important for Pro players to have a Fargo (even if handicaps are not used in pro tournaments) because pro players intermix with all of us amateurs in a lot of regional tournaments and add meaningful data to the ecosystem that creates accurate ratings for everyone. Is it necessary to show us their rating on the broadcast or livestream of a pro tournament? Probably not. I think of it like chess. All chess players that compete have a rating, but ultimately at the top it is just the best players in a tournament and the ratings don't mean much.

Best Players In Baltimore

Ever hear of Richard Riggie (7/7/15-7/12/89) Md State Champ 20 yrs. His son played Gumphries speed.
What about Haney (can't remember first name) watched him play 50 no count. Heard he died in car crash down south.
Yeah, Riggi was a great player, friends with the Miz who used to stay with him when he passed through town, buried with his Scruggs cue. His son Greg was a better player, one of the best bank pool players I ever saw, but he played all games well, died before his time. Once when Miz passed through town young Greg broke and ran 150 and out against him, when Riggi senior came upon the scene, Miz pointed at Greg and said “he just” and Riggi finished his sentence, saying “yeah I can’t beat the little bastard anymore either”.
