Billy - you mentioned yesterday that Efren won 3? DCC One pocket titles, besting fields of 300-400 players, in a race to 3. And from my memory, when he won, he destroyed the fields. It wasn't even close. Besides Scott, who has challenged and beat Efren playing even one pocket the last 30...

It wasn't simply top 64 -- it was done by a % of the field, and how you finished. I forget what the exact % number is but it was 5 or 10 %.

Justin is not going to Qatar. I assume Dechaine and Rodney are not either as they are scheduled to be on the CSI stream for challenge matches out in Vegas. Oscar is going to Qatar. I would think SVB is as well or he would most likely been on a CSI stream match. I posted this earlier -...

Yeah I meant 64 not playing. Thanks What odds can I get that I can pick the winner of the Gold Division Open Singles?

Thanks SB --- this is what the BCAPL needs to figure out how to get a better re-participation of players. 32 out of the top 96 aren't playing. That's not good.

sb -- I was just curious out of the list of top finishers in the open last year, how many decided to come back this year and put money back in the system? (to me this is why the BCAPL has not grown the past years - people cash out and then never come back. figuring out how to get them to come...

That's a good list Don.....I know you are a KC guy but you can give St Louis some credit Justin Bergman Ricky Van Uum Gordon Guy Dean Higgs Cecil Tugwell (he lived here for many years) David Matlock could play some one pocket too, although he obviously isn't known for it but some on your...

You have to understand that SJDick is in the one pocket HOF, even though I never heard of him til AZ Billiards started. I guess he feels that Efren shouldn't be in this HOF with him, cause he wasn't great.

Mark - I believe the top watched TAR matches all involved SVB. People made a point that SVB was shown too much but Justin quickly pointed out that he was the most watched. I know SVB played Frost on a bar table, but most of his matches were big table matches. You obviously have the CSI...

Thank you Billy. The criticism is unreal towards a man still able to play high caliber pool in his 60s.

Doesn't matter he wasn't established when he played those games. The quality of his play or 'speed' didn't change as his rating became established. What is his win:loss record for players that are 85 points below his current value? You were the one that wanted to put doubt in those games...

That's strange. I read where you and others said at 200 games your Fargo rating is valid. Jon is at 178.....that's approximately 200. See what I did there. And why would 'that tournament' matter? I've been told all data is good data. Shouldn't matter where it came from. In fact a...

I wanted to see Jon Brown vs people that are 85 pts less than him -- just like the SVB data

How many of those 48 are signed up for singles this year?

Mike - can you do this for the guy that won the BCAPL Open singles last year? I believe his name was Jon Brown

This sentence here in red is conflicting to me. CSI is the organization that gave these players their starter rating of 625,525,425 etc. It isn't a FargoRate determination. So, CSI feels that these starter ratings are "often lower than the person's actual ability", why didn't you simply...

One tournament is the basis of your post? That's special. Just admit that you posted without thinking. As a side note - I notice you like to post a lot just for the simply fact of posting. I always get a kick out of the threads you attempt to start. It's almost like you sit around just...

Turning Stone 25k added Oscar 3rd Rodney 4th DCC 9B SVB 1st Those are what I would call majors so far for the year, if you are looking to big prize money. The Don Coates paid pretty good - $7400 for 1st, won by Rodney. Dechaine got 5th, Oscar got 9th Beyond that Rodney is 12th on the...

You seem like a good guy and I respect your loyalty to the guy that lives in your hometown Mike and FargoRate. Like I said, I believe FargoRate has merit and is a good thing. But it is not so linear (sorry Cleary stole your ideology) as you and him think. And I understand there is an ELO...

I am using Mike's words from earlier today. Nothing more, nothing less. He stated 51% fit into the word approximate when compared to 35%. I would disagree. I know who is who.
