Yet people continue to say this format doesn't favor the weaker payer. It absolutely does. This format is a joke but it's being overshadowed this stop because the Predator tables (and those working on them) are an even bigger joke. It's sad, really.
Why would it be?! It is a personal achievement for the players to get on to the late rounds, and, they all start randomly...Same old same old at the Las Vegas Open. Despite the continuous claims by many that the CSI/Predator Series format gives the underdogs a chance, the evidence strongly refutes that claim.
The last eight at the Las Vegas Open, with Fargo in parentheses, are: Dmitri Jungo (783), Wiktor Zielinski (805), Lee Van Corteza, (813), Mika Immonen (784), Mateusz Sniegocki (783), Aloysius Yapp (813). Wojciech Szewczyk (809), and Wu Kun-Lin (795).
Nobody with a Fargo of less than 783 will cash for more than $2,000 despite a prize fund of $125,000. The average player reaching the final eight had a Fargo of 798.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. This tour, with the most top-heavy payout structure in recent history, is set up to pay nearly all the prize money to the most elite and is doing nothing to support emerging or aspiring American professional players, who have virtually no chance to make money on this tour. That's really a shame given that this is the first significant US-based tour since the UPA of over a decade ago.
Of course, all that said, props to the international cueists who are playing really great pool.
Yes, well said, although personal achievement is merely the reward of the serious pool hobbyist, not the aspiring pro. You're right to say that America needs to do the things that Europe and Asia are doing to develop talent, but there's more to this subject than that.Why would it be?! It is a personal achievement for the players to get on to the late rounds, and, they all start randomly...
If you want the game to grow in the US, do it as we do at europe: schools as in Poland or Germany. Professional tour, using APA as a 2nd division and awrding top APA players at the end of season to go up to professional tour, for example.
Righty then.ALFA will Transform Technology (Transportation, Energy Production, Propulsion Sources and Space Exploration). Our Goal’s are to Utilize the Benefits of ALFA to Tap into the Growing Industry of Innovative. Sectors such as Green Technologies similar to that of Elon Musk among and others have started for the benefit of ALFA users first, and the Rest of Human Kind eventually.
Crypto is a scam and this coin for pool players or whatever they’re marketing themselves out to be is no different. That short blurb you posted is textbook on how to use 50 words to say nothing.
Has Kevin Trudeau been released from prison yet?
Supposed to get out this year.Has Kevin Trudeau been released from prison yet?
Seriously. That paragraph is full of every single buzzword one can imagine. Plus the overuse of capitals and other grammatical errors that are so common in webpages and emails that are part of scams and fraud. (That's intentionally done, by the way. Fraudsters have found that people who don't recognize the obvious errors are more likely to fall for their scams, so they leave in errors to pre-filter out smarter people who would expose them.)Crypto is a scam and this coin for pool players or whatever they’re marketing themselves out to be is no different.

Huh?Good for him. Guess it makes up for having your room being broken into and being robbed while you sleep.
Sorry, it happened to Fortunski but I heard there were other victims.Huh?
