Shot accuracy % rating system

[garczar]

somewhat of a solution is if one playing rack #109 on your standard 7' valley,
it would match up and score the same for comparison as any other one' at its location, remote or not on a 7' valley.

huh??? #109?? what are you saying here?

Drills like Dr Dave’s Billiard University provide a score for a solo performance. There’s also Accu-stats scoring systems.

The problem is that they can’t really be fairly compared across tables and conditions, whereas Fargoratings can because the two players are always playing on the same table.

You mentioned 'accuracy %'. Playing the ghost that pretty much means winning or losing the game. Its not a separate stat. The only stat in playing the ghost is W/L. If you want to make note of how many balls you pocket in a set that's fine but if you don't get out it really doesn't matter. if i break and run eight(9b) and dog the nine all those 'makes' don't mean squat. I lost.

My thought is a simple make to miss percentage. An 80% shooter will makes 4 balls in a row on average before a miss. A 90% shooter on average would run 9 balls between misses. When playing against an opponent the success of a safety can be measured....against the ghost it can not.

My idea is playing safe when stuck with a low percentage shot against the ghost would not be counted as a miss as long as the safety forces a kick shot.

Looks like Fargo rating is king right now problem is you have to play against other rated players and play alot to establish Fargo score.

The above is hard if you live in a remote area where you don't have many or any rated players.

If you have a good idea of your own speed, through other established rating systems such as APA, ABCD and VNEA, then check out Dr. Dave's comparison chart. It gives you a ballpark what you are rated in other handicap charts, such as Fargo.

That's really good info. Only thing I ever played was Apa 8-ball in Hawaii but that definitely helps me get an idea. Thank you.

On the spot to spot did he have to play cue where it stopped and did it have to stop behind the head string on each side?

Maybe the Legends group will have a spot shot challenge? Live streamed and completely transparent. 1250 spot shots.

How do you like it the guy runs 1250 and the guy who embroiders his jacket gets it wrong. I assume he got the jacket made special for the interview and there was not enough time to fix it?

I got the feeling the jacket was given to him by somebody else shortly after it occurred to commemorate the event for him, and whoever had it made for him, or the embroiderer, just dogged it on the number. Either way it kind of sucks but it's not like 1,150 is a paltry number and he should feel ashamed wearing the jacket and having people believing he only did 1.150 lol. "1,150, is that all?"

Playing straight pool might be the simplest way. Play 10 innings and add up all the balls you made. Also record your high run. Repeat another time. That won’t lie.

14.1 leads to a lot of randomness leading to clusters etc, Maybe a set ball pattern, or a set of set ball patterns, so the challenge can be standardized on shotmaking or cue ball control or both.

Never seen that done. EVER. He either shot normal BIH in the kitchen or spot-to-spot. No 'wherever it ends up' stuff. That would be pretty tough tho for sure.

Pretty sure I heard someone mention Woodward doing 35ish of these in a row; playing spot shots, cueball must land in the kitchen, play next spot shot from where cue ball lands.

Also, this thread makes me feel like I’m having a stroke. A rating system that involves playing the ghost but there’s conditions for playing safe depending on whether the ghost can kick or see parts of the balls, etc, etc.

There's a video out there, IIRC it was Albin & Jasmine practicing this way. I believe it was one of Johan's drills.
