This is the first weekend of Derby City. I'll have to watch a replay.
Doesn't matter how good Team Europe is, Jay, upsets happen all the time in every sport. You know what they say in football. on any given Sunday ...
Just a matter of time before the underdog wins. The U.S. is due. If these two teams played ten times, the U.S. would be bound to win two or three of the events.
You are correct. Team USA has won three of the last eighteen MC's. I wouldn't be bragging about a 3-15 record though. That equates to a one in six chance for Team USA overall. In other words calling them a 6-1 underdog is about right.Doesn't matter how good Team Europe is, Jay, upsets happen all the time in every sport.

With all that high fashion garb and designer stuff, he's still using wired earbuds???
Skip, yer killing me. I opened the link and all those reasons I hated studying statistics came flooding back.200 games is way overboard. More like 40 or 50 should be sufficient in typical situations. The law of large numbers and central limit theorem are a thing.
Anyway, if you want to know the math, here’s the math: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bradley–Terry_model

Bad idea imo. Once past the two hour point in the match, whoever is leading will be stalling. What is really needed is a 45 second shot clock. It can be one clock with each player clicking it when they come to the table. The clock will be visible to both players. Perhaps one or two 45 second extensions per game. No ref needed!Heath just posted that they are going with traditional rules with a 3hr time limit. Also the event will be open to all ages. Under 21 will not be allowed past casino checkpoint. Lastly, jump cues WILL be allowed in the 9b main event ONLY.

All the trash talk in the world won't help Team USA win games. Better you answer on the table and not with loose lips. Once again they play right into the Euro's hands.
AI gets better all the time, and like it or not, it is here to stay. The smartest people are the ones who will accept it, use it, but understand its limitations.Yeah that is not a prediction, that is the idiotic technology hallucinating facts up that don't exist. This is what 1/3rd of the American economy is based on now. That includes everyone's retirement funds.
Funny how they call it hallucinations, I call it lies. It is now the American Hallucination instead of the American Dream.
BTW, that same table, Toulet Pantheon, is up for auction again on Dec 13, 2025, however at a reduced starting bid of $20,000.I just saw an auction for a very expensive pool table. The minimum bid is $44,000 and there is a buyer's premium of 30%. The table originally sells new for $69,000. So, why would someone buy a used table with a opening bid of $44,000 plus 30%, that's like $57,000 and you still have to ship it. I bet the new table at 69k comes with free shipping and a warranty.
Oh, well. Problems I dont have to worry about. The table might be related to Usher...yeah, that guy. Check it out:

And, no, I am not interested, nor can I afford the table. I was watching this auction for the Dr. Seuss Taxidermy!
Sea Going Dilemma
Just speaking from personal experience from leveling hundreds of tables. If it is a new installation you have to level the frame and slates, the whole deal.I have a friend with a Diamond and wants a good level.
What kind of level should he look for?
It was dumb, but Jayson's not wrong: Filler is a monster. He also seemed ready to throw out the Lukas wedge before Tyler even brought up Filler.And the biggest barker in the barkfest is the one who does NOT deserve to be on the team based on ranking points, much less a captain. Just saying.
I found the exchange awkward, with Tyler and Jayson going back and forth, as if Joshua Filler was not even sitting in the room. Once again, Joshua exhibited maturity and remained silent, much like he did when he was being viciously attacked on social media by sucker-punching cyberbullies.
What was Joshua going to say? He really has no defense for his actions last year. He pissed off a lot of people, and they had a right to be pissed off.And the biggest barker in the barkfest is the one who does NOT deserve to be on the team based on ranking points, much less a captain. Just saying.
