Not sure what the fuss is about. Fargo just has to hide (not remove) deceased players and not show them in list of top 100 players. Matches of deceased will remain in the system- obviously cannot remove matches of deceased. Just like they hide those high 800+ who don't have enough robustness...

Good stuff. Long overdue and high time there is proper method to rate rank tournaments objectively. I would take your conclusions over the other Mike. No offence to other Mike but he bases his conclusions mostly eyeball, anecdotal on smaller subset of data rather than statistical :LOL: Sounds...

Chua was worst performer on Team Asia last year. Only managed 0.4 points (won 2 Team matches but lost all other matches (1 singles and 2 doubles matches). Seem to choke underperform and cannot handle domestic pressure. (Yes I know he has won WCOP etc etc but this on home soil different story) To...

Kelly Fisher is a WPA Board member https://wpapool.com/kelly-fisher-wpa-board-member/ Some curved ball questions:LOL: : 1)Why was scheduling conflict recently between Matchroom Hanoi Open and Predator World Championships not resolved and both events allowed to clash? Was it Matchroom or WPA or...

that book and that 10000 number almost 2 decades ago was like gospel. But it is passe no longer relevant. Gladwell was being simplistic trying to quantify give easy answer to something complex to sell books. :LOL:Apparently he misunderstood and oversimplified the research

Anyone knows what is the prize this year? Last year was $15K each for losers and winners https://matchroompool.com/reyes-cup/the-inaugural-reyes-cup-event-guide/ which is silly. Don't know any event where everyone get same prizemoney. :LOL:

These should be the dream teams. All seasoned pedigree. All top 15 Fargo. All have won majors. All have won multiple World titles except for Yapp and Chua

He was just more visible on social media hanging with Roy's Basement, playing money games one time playing long set with JF . No offence to Dodong but I wouldn't put him in shortlist to win major. Yes he did win team event WCOP but so has Petri and team event is different ball game altogether...

WTH , AJ Manas? Dumbest decision of the decade Matchroom has lost the plot and making it up as they go. Last year Reyes Cup (RC) they follow MC qualification criteria 3 by rankings+2 wildcards...

I think Appleton likely has most World titles (this millennium) WPA World 9B WPA World 10B WPA World Heyball World Games WPA World Team World Cup of Pool (Excluded World Pool Masters as that is invitational) Ironically, Appleton has never won a World in English 8 ball the discipline he started...

Predator unsanctioned recent Puerto Rico Open so they have done it. I think WPA will not be tough with PBS now cos if PBS also bail out like MR, the 2 biggest tours will be out and WPA will be caught with pants down :ROFLMAO:

Heading towards Ronnie-Luca final, a repeat of previous edition Luca on hill but Williams not going away yet.

LV Open is WPA sanctioned. However, the multiple invitationals at this PBS fiesta :LOL: such as Bank Pool, 1P, wheelchair are not WPA sanctioned

Yes there is a max to level of nervousness even with pros. It ain't Squid Game, you still get to live if you miss :ROFLMAO:
