Filler Vs. Gorst

An all-around would be very hard to handicap. Josh has a clear edge at 9ball, 10 ball seems pretty even, and Fedor would have a slight edge at both banks and one-pocket. Let's hope this happens.

I'd consider it the first marathon match played between the world's two best players in the last 50 years. For the record, when Efren hooked up with Earl in the Race to 120 in the late 1990s, Jose Parica was quite a bit better than Efren at 9ball.
Earl & Sigel played a Challenge Match in 9-Ball, in 1985, Race to 45- Earl 45, Sigel 44. Does this qualify as the two best players matching up, in 9-Ball?

A simple answer to the APA/BCA Amateur League dilemma

A few years ago I was on a BCAPL team. The Wednesday night league had at least 200-220 players and we filled up a room with 2 9 foot tables and 14 8 foot tables. {{The 9 foot tables were cash games of 9-ball; while the 8 foot tables were league.}}

Of the 200 players, 3 or 4 were capable of giving a Fargo 650 a run.

So, no, a league for that level of players would crash and burn rather rapidly. Simply not enough players.

How are the U.S. 3C org. doing Today????

Just read an old 2018 article on Korea Billiard

Excerpt....
Each year, 30 billiard competitions open nationwide. The federation sends 80 percent of their players to carom competitions, 18 percent go to snooker competitions and the remaining two percent compete in pool competitions.

Korea is somewhat out of step with international trends, as pool is the most popular billiard sport globally, followed by snooker and carom. According to the Korea Billiards Federation, pool, which is more popular among women, should receive more support.
