I think even the major fractions (except half ball) need some “feel”, and dividing the major fractions into smaller ones adds another layer of estimation, kinda like compounding interest.

Not In my experience

I’ve been in many places that had signs saying “No Gambling” and everyone was gambling . If the leagues had those rules it might change how discreet players were about it but that’s all

Actually, it’s not difficult to have aiming points for the in-between cut angles so actually you can have eight instead of four targets
Still like all aiming systems as you say PJ there is a subjective element

Maybe that is what the 12/3-11 TBC will be that has been sitting out on the WPA calendar.

I've seen the 1960s version only and I absolutely loved it. The message that being the best at anything means having to keep proving it is an enduring one, and the psychological relief that comes when one falls off the top rung of the ladder and need no longer carry that burden is real. On reflection, Fats Brown was as much a winner in defeat as he'd have been in victory. The episode's final line, "Fats Brown, having relinquished the champion's mantle, has gone fishing" surely made you think of SVB, didn't it?

Bump.
