You need to take a better look at the #s.

Many good ideas/thoughts in this thread. I hope Mark G. is listening. Saint1 - don't be offended. I sent Ozzy a couple of polite emails and never got a straight answer. I simply wanted to know if the UTG shirts were ok to wear at the BCAPL nationals. The rules really didn't say. And...

I didn't watch the ceremony.....can someone explain

I got second in Gold Teams - payout $5500 for the team. 6 players = $916 each. $400 flight. $250 for hotel. $2 for a banana each day. $2 for the smallest bag of chips you could find to sell. etc etc Not sure I broke even.

Ok thanks for the explanation. I didn't understand Mike Page explanation. But I am still confused because not all players that were given a starter rating and then played games under FargoRate prior to the BCAPL had their starter rating adjusted. I know one player that was given a starter...

His rating on the entree site of the BCAPL was 603. It was not a starter rating of 625. Somehow he got a rating on their site 50 points lower than the FargoRate site. He is still listed as 603 if you go to the BCAPL site that shows the entrees at the bottom of the page. Joe Pierce II. 603...

ok that makes sense

I was wondering why Manny didn't have a FargoRate but someone like Nick Evans does (636 games in FargoRate)? They played in many of the same events the past few years.

Does anyone have the payouts or a link to the payouts for this event?

Why do these pro events change the format for the finals?

I've said the WPA is worthless for at least 3 years. Why any promoter would pay their sanctioning fee is beyond me.

Yeah something like that. Also think of it like this - if you want to get married and have a party on a Thursday, it is much cheaper than getting married on a Saturday night. (See if you can figure out the analogy here).

because there is no profit for the tournament organizer if the event is in a pool room.

Oscar spent $1100 in airfare to go to Qatar and that is after he changed his flight to fly from something like LA to Amsterdam to some other country to Qatar, turning a 13 hour flight into a 23 hour flight. A direct flight would have been $2400.

Nope -- that's why this point system is kinda a joke. Way too many tournaments in a year. Like I said - there should be 6 events. One every other month for the player to compete in, on US soil. They want a player to spend $25K (or more) to go around and play in all of these events just to...

WPA Events 1 - 80 pts 2 - 67 3/4 - 53 5/8 - 40 9/16 - 27 17/32 - 13 Looks like if SVB wins one more match, he will take over the Mosconi Cup point total as well.

Math fail. There are 5 players in each round - not 6 as you added up. Your top 5 is your team total. By the way - for 5 players, 3510 would put you over what was even allowed in Platnium so you are full of inaccurate facts.

It shouldn't be and hopefully it isn't data entry. It should be a link between the BCAPL site and FargoRate.

#TeamMexico is what we started calling it after John French started with his Team French ridiculousness. It just a term we use for the people close to and behind Oscar. Oscar is a US citizen. His father Ernesto should have his own reality TV show. If you get to know him, the man is hilarious.

Congrats to Peoria -- they had a solid 5 and Judex is still a champion at the age of 74. The Peoria team and Houston team were two of the most gracious and well mannered (for lack of a better term) teams we played during the tournament. We would like to invite them to Teachers in St...
