John Schmidt runs 820

you cant compare the old and new. willie played on where he was sent to, and only had a few warm up shots and then did his exhibition.
no do over tries. just played to get to or run 100. which he did on the first or close to it tries.
them most times he just quit.

didnt get to try to make a higher run over and over. and didnt start with a ball in hand break as his game started with a safe break.
only a few times did they ask for him to keep shooting.

yes mosconi was a great. possibly unparalleled talent.

these two JS’s are also greats.

it’s all great.

we dont need to tear anyone down here. the fact that straight pool gets played at all any more is nothing short of a small miracle.

To see these enormous runs happen and then get put online for free for all of us to watch is going to change the way young people think about straight pool. i dont see how it is anything but a good thing, regardless of whether or not willie had his coffee or a cramp in his foot that morning.

My Fargorate progression

Who has the most motivation to identify these sandbaggers? Who is the most capable of doing so? FargoRate does not want people gaming their system. Mike has stated that there are bad actors out there, they have caught some of them. It would be almost impossible to get away with it, consistently, over multiple events. You would stick out like a sore thumb. As far as using league and team events to keep your rating down, that sounds plausible, but is it? If you are consistently performing at a much higher level in one particular type of event, compared to all others, wouldn’t that be very obvious?
