This is a call to anyone who runs tournaments, looking for action, or wants to join a league. I am in the early stages of testing a new pool app (CueLogic) but I need alpha testers. Do you have an android device? Do you think analytically? Can you provide feedback and criticism? Do you know...

I love these ideas. How does one determine what constitutes a safety, or a successful safety, or does it even matter?

Yes sir. Indeed I am. I noticed the 'island' problem empirically and never sought out if someone (or a collective) had also noticed it, so I described it how I envisioned it. I will call it an island going forward and not a microbubble (cavitation). One would think that a problem so obvious...

Exactly! Transparency in data is definitely going to be a core objective regardless of the direction pursued.

LOL Thanks for the reply. To expound using a bit of hyperbole, and to simplify Fargo et.al. If a player does not expand their reach beyond their common group, then all points earned by the individual are simply exchanged in the long run with the players in their group. Think of this as a...

This is interesting and I LIKE IT! Let's explore this. So would this be the device or is this the report NPO? If this is the device, the goal of the device would be to measure the resultant vector force from the cue (with tip/pad/ferrule) imparting its kinetic energy to what are you thinking -...

OH MAN!!! :) Correct. But if I walked this path, I would not be doing that. Federal law doesn't prohibit the public production of sounds that just so happen to be at the exact opposite phase of the sounds produced. I am not touching the radios signal. Read about this new technology from the...

What about listening for a double hit. Our eyes/ears aren't sensitive enough to make accurate determinations, but electronic devices are. A device that listens for multiple hits within a fraction of a second. If detected then alert (light/sound) otherwise stays silent. This would be easy and...

This is solvable and I love this idea! I have added it to my list. A device that introduces a destructive wave (wave interference). Place these under the various seats at sporting events. I won't build a jammer as that violates several environments - think FCC/911. But I can make a device...

Specifically the challenges I've noticed, to name a few, are endemic to areas like smaller towns. A player who has a strict circuit of players they play against (like league) will not jump up sufficiently to gain points in Fargo of any tangible value. This is a consequence of a closed system...

Thanks for so many replies. You rock. I may get hate mail for this, but I can't see Fargo as being the best. From my actuarial pragmatic experiences, I see flaws that can be corrected or improved upon hence that micro cavitation issue I alluded to. Having a system that is probably AI driven or...

Thanks for the positivity. :) I agree with your statement. That is why I was leaning toward a tournament management site that captures ridiculous statistics and uses those to develop a far more robust weighting system. Did one lose because one miscued, or did one lose because one had a wall 2...

I bet that is a vestigial/antiquatable rule base on a lack of technology at the time. But perhaps not.

I have a lot of programming/electrical engineering/technical and pool experience and want to give back to the community. If time or money were no option, but human resources were restricted to just one human, what could be crafted to improve the billiard community. Ideas I have heard so far, and...
