Perfect example of the point I'm making.... The guy from Marietta, GA..... probably a favorite on a big table... On a bar table... not so much so.
Who all could Skyler Woodward play even against on the big tables (in 9 ball)?

On a bar box I think its a coin toss between these guys they play so good bar box pool is just to easy for them.
Sky also just beat Shane in Four Bears http://www.azbilliards.com/news/stories/12935-gomez-and-keeney-take-four-bears/
Though I will be very surprised if Sky has much better H2H against the top elite players in BarBox if we looked at results for 30 matches or more
If you include the matches that I showed which Mike is ignoring, Shane is up 89-88 vs Sky on bar tables. Doesn't get much closer than that. It seems he plays much better than 776 speed on bar tables. Sky also finished third in the carom 10 ball. Was that event on bar tables as well?
If My math is correct, then Shane/Dennis with a combined rating of 819 are 132-117 over I wish the score was known in the first set of finals where Sky beat Shane in race to 15 was known which I linked earlier.
I still believe Sky plays better on bar tables than 9 footers. I think Fargo should include the bar table tournaments where the races are to 15 and 21 with a 2k entry. That shows how he plays vs the best of the best bar tables players.
Thank you for the info Terry. So that puts them up on Sky combined145-132.
Based on Mike's formula, Sky should be down 161-116 if his rating is accurate regardless of table size.
If 200 games is the baseline for Fargo being accurate, then the above suggests Sky is a better bar table player.
Mike doesn't ignore data. If it has been submitted he uses it.

And that is why nobody is running to get in the box with this kid. Bar table is just a different game. A great game but it is a skill equalizer. Any given day, anything can happen.
When these guys are matching up for the big money, they want to know they are going to win. Not a coin flip, not 60/40. Maybe they don't need the nuts but who wants to stake someone on a coin flip?
You just don't see big matches very often on the bar tables anymore. At least that I have heard of and I could be wrong.
This matters.
