Haven't seen Stevie Moore playing much recently. I spoke with him once at Hard Times. Very nice guy. Hope all is well with him

Guessing you missed the Derby City 9-ball and Turning Stone as Jeremy Sossei's not on your list. He was brilliant in his third place finish at the Derby City 9-ball and was the highest American finisher behind Kiamco and Pagulayan. He was fourth at the last Turning Stone in a field of giants, the highest finishing American behind Shaw, Morra and Immonen.

My top ten, in in order:

1. Shane Van Boening
2. Mike Dechaine
3. Rodney Morris
4. Justin Hall
5. Jeremy Sossei
6. Justin Bergman
7. Oscar Dominguez
8. Brandon Shuff
9. Johnny Archer
10. Sky Woodward

My turn

2.Mike Dechaine
3.Dennis Hatch
4.Johnny Archer
5.Rodney Morris
6.Corey Deuel
7.Jeremy Jones
8.Justin Bergman

... Let face it, to be one of the five or six highest finishing American finishers in an event is a trivial accomplishment. Corey isn't really one of the US players to watch anymore except in one pocket.

But the original question was who are the top 10 US players in 9/10-Ball. I provided some evidence that Corey may still be one of those 10, even if you consider a 5th- or 6th-place finish among Americans to be "a trivial accomplishment."

Chris Bartrum could probably make a lot of the guys on these lists sweat

Bartram is number 21, but he's only 12 points behind #10 (Deuel)--12 points is only one game on the wire to 13--so it's pretty close quarters up there.

A lot of these folks can make one another sweat--we're talking about who elicits more sweat more often...

Who are the top ten based on your rating system?

lol... Our lists have 7 out of 10 in common! There is no tweaking involved in what we do. And also no subjective judgment.

Several mentioned woodward, sossei, Oscar, and hall. These are all within the next 12, and once again players get pretty close there. The highest-rated unmentioned player is Josh Roberts.
 
This is not my personal list, I just thought it would be good to add to the discussion.

US players ranked by money earned in 2015 (AZB money list):

Shane 44k
Corey 44k
Skyler 35k
Scott Frost 25k
Bergman 22k
Dechaine 18k
Justin Hall 16k
Jeremy Jones 14k
Jeremy Sossei 12k
Oscar 11k

Actually, it subtracts from the discussion, for several reasons:

1) Includes bar table events, 2) includes one pocket events, 3) includes bank pool and even includes bank pool ring game. When figuring out who the best American 9/10 ball players, none of these events are relevant.
