As a player in that 650-750 range. I was signed up and paid for entry to Mcdermott open. 7 hours away. I play as many of the bigger tournaments I can just to play better players. Def stinks.

To be clear I have great sympathy for players like you. In many places you can’t even enter most tournaments (even with giving a spot) and so cancellation of events with the big boys is doubly bad for you.

I do wonder if it’s possible for a WNT sanctioned tournament to have staggered entry fees. If the post I saw was right, $400 is a lot of money to pay for an average pro event for guys like you who are unlikely to run super deep. Or some kind of side pot for the top 4 players under 700 or 725 or something.

It's a Palmer?

Hey, if the seller can document that, I am in for $95.67

Palmer had nothing to do with it. Although Adam did make cues for Palmer it was never the other way around. If someone payed a thousand dollars for it they got screwed over very badly. But, a fool and his money...

Edit, if he bumps his Fargo 30 points and makes a living do it, more power to him.

The effect is built into the shot. It's probably impossible without the masse stroke. There's a shot I've not seen that supposedly has the CB pulling above the side pocket before contact. Also big on the "no way" factor.

Before rail contact that is.

I wouldn’t knock this guy for any reason. If he attains his goal, that would be phenomenal. However, I think we all have a pretty good idea of how this is going to go. He is a 650, so he has some talent. Low robustness means he might be able to get his number to move. Since he is completely changing everything about his life and game, he might be able to get a late push. 700 might be obtainable, but unlikely. 750 is what, one in a million? Odds of 800, no idea, but astronomical. Look at Nicks’ journey to obtain a legit Fargo, and maximize it. He estimated his speed at about 575, with zero robustness. He has played a lot of good pool. Sought out better players. Played under pressure, worked on his game He has enough robustness to be well established, he is about a 575, just like he said.

They could at least set the clocks...

I was at the doctors a couple of months ago and noticed the clock above the door was an hour off. When I asked about it the nurse said, yeah, I'm not tall enough. We chuckled and I fixed it. Went back a month ago and was put in a different exam room and you guessed it, the clock was an hour off. I fixed it and didn't say anything, pretty sure she put me in that room to fix the clock!

In the NAPA league that I play in the 10-ball would spotted on the break spot.

That would seem incredibly silly. The little spot is called the spot and has been used since the spot was created. why would somebody spot a ball somewhere other than where a spot is that defines the spot?
