IDK how he expected the CB to go anywhere but where it did on that shot.

28-26. Time to start watching, haha. I just finally watched a full rack. Anthony has a weird warmup stroke pattern and distance.

Thomas Haas, the last good player from Philly. I think he's about 30 now. I can't think of anyone younger than him that is as good, in Philly.

His ad says "unlike hollow or overly thin designs....". That means to me it will squirt much more than a Revo, or even a 314. https://pagulayancues.com/collections/pristine-carbon-fiber-shafts Pristine™ carbon fiber pool cue shafts are built for players who demand more than low deflection...

I've also seen ppl on FB complain that they bought the digitalpool all table access a month ago for the DCC, and thought they were getting the TV table too. The whole thing was ambiguous. This is also the first year (I believe) where all the outer tables were available for stream purchase.

I'm a long time PPV purchaser for the DCC, and the way it was worded on xpool's site was def confusing. It tripped up a lot of people. They could have made it crystal clear, such as: PPV Choices, pick one: 1) PPV of the main TV table only. One single table the whole event, with full production...

Yep, the other guys who knows what their formula was and if it was worth anything. Same with the MR formula. Pat has had his published for 40 years and was consistent with it.

The 9 ball this year is NOT a MR satellite points event, correct?

Impossible no. Unfeasable yes. It requires human labor on each and every match. It's just never going to happen. There is no budget (or desire) for that in pool. A ref is not feasable per table. Even a timekeeper is not feasible per table. Recording shots/innings/misses/safety attempts to...

Dr Dave still wears those little glasses. Anthony finally got rid of them a year or so ago and got real pool glasses. hahaha.

I really thought it was a pick-em (and so must have a LOT of other ppl considering the bet amount). Anthony is murdering Shane though. Its not even close.

yes, I understand FR is relative, and TPA is absolute. However, FR is automatically calculated. A single match, or an entire tournament performance says: "this player showed up and did way better than his normal". It's good and useful info. Because it's so easy to obtain, it is actually used...

I'm losing faith in the FargoRate in the amateur ranks. I now agree with others that many people are entering bs leagues to keep their rating low, then do well in high entry events. I just looked through the player list on the digital pool bracket from the $1000 entry 578 I played in last year...

Also, now with FargoRate, I think it is more useful. It shows how much a player over or under performed their rating, relative to their opponent. It also requires zero work by anyone. TPA requires someone to watch and log every single shot.
