Thanks a bunch for the heads up. I consider myself pretty good at math, but I'll be darned if I can figure out your puzzle here... If I subtract 5 hours from 8:30 am, I should get 3:30 am. If I subtract 5 hours from 2 pm, I should get 9 am. I don't know how to get 2 pm by subtracting 5 hours from 8:30 am. Is this some kind of new British math with which I am unfamiliar? :grin:

I guess Americans should stick to pool.
No complicated math, just watch that last ball go into the pocket.:D

Hey Scaramouche -- watch that! :D Actually, the work "rank" in American slang means "to stink," and I'm sure you DON'T mean to say "players that stink -- a concept unknown to pool." :p

<sigh> Yes, you're right -- the last time we had something like that, it had I-P-T in its name, and the person running that turned out to be a real "ranker" (stinker). :o

*This*, coming from the same person who continually suffers from copy/paste-lexia (i.e. can't cut/paste URLs into AZB posts correctly)? ;)

Seriously, thanks for the heads-up, the match stats, and the updates. There are some of us Yanks out here who recognize superior potting, love to watch snooker, and practice the same. ;)

Thanks for the heads-up my fine furry-avatar'd friend, but it would seem that the WPBA has figured out a reasonable ranking (and seeding) system :

Updated regularly too :thumbup: !

First:
From what I have read on this board, the vast majority of posters do not consider WPBA to be real pool players :D

Second:
When I bait Americans I would prefer that the gopher in Saskatchewan keep his opinions to himself - unless he agrees with me :D:D:D

Now go burrow back under your snowbank and cuddle your computer for warmth. Spring will be coming in about six months.
