Is it also a fridge magnet? I lose things if I don’t stick them to the fridge

Looks like a toilet magnet to me (good advice too) ...

At times my 3 teammates could each have a need for one of those ha ha a time or two I have also because I needed to hit my object ball soft and slow to get my next shot and I had forgotten about the cloth in front of the pocket rolling a ball back out if not hit fairly firm ha ha , even with that miss and ball in hand for my opponent I still won both of those games !

I think there was a show that took us through the process of making Elkmaster tips not too many years ago.
Regarding the single layer tip inconsistencies, I would guess they cut many tips from many hides and they all get mixed together in some other operation.
That may cause tips from different hides to end up in the same box.
I suppose I need to watch a "How it's made" to find the answer.

The math is in post 2 or so. Based solely on FR, the most likely score was 11-9. With two on the wire, team USA was an even bet. It looks like their actual performance was over 100 points below their ratings. EDIT: Actually, about 36 points below.
