Shane loses, a big surprise.

If Shane wins R1 of losers, there is a chance he will play the loser of Ko Pin Yi vs Bernie in losers round 2.

SVB in big trouble.

Not that shocking. While Shane looked solid with 4th at the Derby City 9ball in January, he came 17th in the European Open and skipped the UK Open. My guess is that he will still qualify, but he's now exposed to drawing one of the favorites in the round of 64. He needs to find his form in the next few matches. Perhaps he will and if he does. anything's possible. Wishing him well.

Question for instructors out there.

I think there have been such increases of 100 FR points in a year, but they were by someone who also went up 100 the previous year.

If someone has been at 500 for ten years the chance of moving to 600, without 8 to 10 hours of useful practice five days a week is unlikely. It's not going to be a matter of changing their grip a little. Probably some major habitual flaws will have to be corrected.

About what I figured. Thanks for the honesty.

HOW TO RACK Pool Balls as Tightly as Possible

The bar I play pool at can only achieve a tight rack when 4 specific balls at at the front of the triangle (8-ball).

In your opinion how does this interact with the rule where all the the game-ball are supposed to be random ??
{{That is which rule takes precedence ?}}

Officially, that could be considered “pattern racking.” But since the pattern is used only to help create a tight rack (and not for game strategy or “cheat code” reasons), I personally don’t see any harm in it unless your opponent notices and objects. Your opponent could alternatively just copy your trick to also get a tight rack.
