I believe there is also a list, on the BU web site, for people who have taken the test, and wish to be recorded for verification.

That's cool. But the thread is not just "official" scores. Dr. Dave would really appreciate it if you put your scores in that thread. It helps add data for it.
I have a lot of fun playing around with the test. And, I find the drills in it really help ones game out.

Have you - or anyone - done the 10 ball ghost yet?
Have you even looked at the list? Your answer is right there.
Both the draw and stun drills can be "frustrating" at times (along with the wagon-wheel drill).
After you do Exam II, please post your total score on the BU thread. And if video recording is possible for you, please also post Youtube links. Instructions for how to do this can be found in step 9 of the BU Exam Instructions document.
Please also consider posting scores again in the future after you have worked with the exams more. It is fun and interesting to see how much people can improve on their initial score over time.
Yes. They are all listed here:
AZB BU thread
and
BU official graduates
Good luck on Exam II,
Dave
Pretty much everybody on the AZB BU list has done the 10-ball ghost drill already. All of the scores are posted along with the BU scores and ratings on the BU thread.
I don't see your name on the list yet. Do you plan to do the BU Exams and 10-ball ghost rating drill?
Regards,
Dave

I've told you several times, I can't be bothered.
I meant on video, obviously. NOBODY has done it yet - wonder why?
It's a little difficult to count how many have actually videoed the drills - 20, perhaps - yet not one has videoed the 10 ball ghost under your rating system, which would make much more interesting viewing than watching someone put the ball on a piece of paper. Have YOU set the example, Dave?

Can we see your 10 ball ghost score ON VIDEO please Neil? You seem to be able to reshoot your drills easily enough...

Yawn.
Like I've said repeatedly, this is not something i can be bothered to do. Yet you do the drills regularly, and aren't shy about posting them, so why not the ghost, too?
Why has NO ONE done it, not even the originator?
It's not true that no one has done it.
The videos may not be on the scores list, but there are videos up doing the ten ball ghost.

GW did one, but not under the scoring system stipulated by Dr Dave. But you knew that.
20 or so backed up their drill scores on video. Not one has done the same to back up their 10 ball score.
Doesn't that strike you as odd?
... and yet you keep asking other people to do the 10-ball drill on video?
I didn't ask people to post their 10-ball ghost videos. It's hard enough to get people (e.g., you) to post the BU Exam videos. Also, many people don't have the necessary video equipment and experience with Youtube. Also, it takes time to do all of this.I meant on video, obviously. NOBODY has done it yet - wonder why?
Now, if you doubt people's run-out ability, watch the Exam II videos. Only people with good run-out skills can do well on the line-of-balls, rail-cut-shot, 9-ball run-out, and 8-ball run-out drills. Have you watched any of the Exam II videos yet?
I didn't ask people to post 10-ball videos. I only asked them to post scores so we can see how the 10-ball-ghost scores and ratings compare to the BU scores and ratings. Based on what people have posted so far, the BU and 10-ball-ghost ratings seem to agree fairly well.
... not true. Gerry Williams posted some 10-ball-ghost video the last time you asked. Here they are: part 1, part 2. His level of play on the 10-ball ghost drill seems to agree well with his performance on the BU Exam videos: Exam I (part 1, part 2) and Exam II (part 1, part 2, part 3).
I have posted several 10-ball-ghost-drill scores. Are you saying you don't trust me? If it would make you feel better, and if it is really that important to you, I would be happy to post a 10-ball-ghost-drill video. Now that my school semester is over, I plan to put in some long practice sessions over the next couple of weeks. If you want, I can record and post some video. Let me know if it is really that important to you and I'll put in the extra effort to record an post a session.
Regards,
Dave
That sounds like an excellent idea!Tell you what, I'll post one up within two days of you posting one up.
Maybe the good spirit of the Holiday Season will soften "Pathetic Shark's" negativity and cynicism and little. Maybe he'll even be inspired to share some of his own video before laying down any more demands on others who have already graciously shared and participated.
Happy Holidays,
Dave

Be only too happy to record a session with the scoring system you outline Dave. I have figured the 10 ball break out better now so I expect to score higher than 72.
