While I'm no fan to Fargo's silence to every inquiry other than when they feel the need to validate their algorithm. I do have to say that you can't expect that system, or any other system for that matter to capture all that's seemingly relative to a player's actual spd. It's not Mike's or...

I like to maintain the notion that IF I put some minor effort in, I could hold a mid to high 680. I'm really not that far off. I also like to pretend that IF my life outside of pool was just a bit different, then I'd be beyond the 700 glass ceiling. These days, I don't know how much I "love...

I'm generally in that weirder under achieving area above 675 where I get zero action unless I'm willing to bet heavy and be a dog to the elite shortstops. Fargo capped events are as good as it gets. The fortunate reality is the higher you go on the food chain, the less events their are. Pool...

28....lol Back playing 14.1 and can't string together racks to save my life. I want to blame the very much harder table. Since the rebuild she ain't very forgiving. However the vast bulk of my misses are simple laziness. Maybe a century before the new year.

Every once in a blue moon there will be a local <650 event. Even rarer still is the mysterious <675 tourney that may happen once a year. The one I find the most entertaining is the semi annual <730 event. Which is purpose built to exclude the two local Ontario monsters that are north of 740...

This is what baffles me.... Almost like they attempt to validate the closed door invites based on publicly viewable rankings. Until this situation, the rankings vs ideal players (entertainment) have lined up. MR's hand has been force a bit by Filler's choices. Attempting to generate validity...

I think either drunk or sober Billy would be more entertaining than Oscar. You should be feeling bad for Oscar. While I totally agree that would diversify the teams in an entertaining manner (but likely make the Euros even stronger). However, wildcard is meant to be a source of drama. That...

Thin the 13 as much as possible. Load the CB up with inside, and assume there's no way I could possibly sewer in the side pocket along the top long rail.

Two things at play I believe. Best choice for a winning team would be Oscar (imo). Best choice for entertainment value is Billy. Since an American win seems to be stuck in unlikelyhood. MR might as well enjoy the extra entertainment Billy will provide. If they can get him to play in those...

They make tips out of leather?

I get this every time I match up prior to league or local tourney play. My answer is usually in the ballpark of, "No worries, I will" all the way to "this is will be bloody" depending on how well I know them. Aside, if this type of inconsequential comment throws you off. You weren't meant to win.

Win or lose... Expect that game being offered to Bergman by Alex as we speak.

Kinda like Oscar for the americans..? I know, I know.... Oscar was low enough that he fell into one of the captain's choices. That's different to some degree. However that's the thing about the Mosconi that always confused me. The Euros always seemed to use and adhere to a points system...

Of course... the promoter wants to have the best product possible. Over stating this... MR isn't forcing Filler out of anything. They simply aren't inviting him to their invitational events. Which also happen to be big paydays just for showing up. Regarding viewership. Do you think the...

Yes, major shame. For fans of Oscar and for the NA pool scene. The continued captains (you're my buddy) favoritism in the USA picks throughout the last several years is what has made this event a joke. It hasn't been about your best team for a very low time. That said, you do have Tyler...

Two different things at play here though. Billy is a captain's pick which I'm sure is on some level vetted by MR. Team USA already has a emotionless robot in Tyler that they can't deny based on qualification. No need to double down on that boredom with Oscar. I'm not a fan of Billy's game...

WNT (MR) is an org only for the elite of the game. The notion that they must be 'not good' because 'not everyone' wants to abandon their federation support is pre-school type logic.

I think Bergman's jersey is visually appealing...

You know what they say about opinions.... keep dancing. I'm sensing a theme Yep, those who can't handle the mean aspects of the internet, probably shouldn't be exposed to it. Kids can't help themselves unfortunately. Those with the same insecurities and level of impulse control should also...

No offence intended, but if having to take a few additional steps in the given direction after the rack is over is what drives your pattern choices. I think you might have some room for improvement in your game..., if you're willing ;)
