    Fedor Mosconi cup

    he can't play for Team USA because he isn't a citizen and likely won't be for a few more years. Not sure if Team Europe will select him due to political reasons- Russia is still waging a horrendous war in Ukraine. Not Gorst's fault, but they may still exclude Russian athletes- not sure what...

    Turning Stone Classic XXXVII Aug31- Sept. 4th

    Mika has been playing great and with a few more better rolls, he would have won the tournament. He deserves some kudos for competing so well against the world's best players at his age.

    Justin Bergman ?

    I don’t enjoy flying either for many of the reasons mentioned in this thread, but it should be noted that there are 11 million flights per every 1 accident- much safer than driving and much, much safer than submersibles

    No safeties in nine ball

    Sudden death 7 ball on espn was played kind of like that- you were allowed one safety per rack. After that, a miss was ball in hand- it was entertaining in my opinion

    My Fargorate progression

    How does a player get in the data base for Fargo to begin with? To my knowledge I hadn't played a tournament under my full name in years (if ever) and I don't think the league I play in submits data (many players from the my league had no rating when I searched their names), yet I learned I had...

    Crockett Memorial

    Definitely knows a lot about tech- I was just referring to his expertise regarding pool- he stated that he is a decent player and enjoys pool, but isn't streaming to provide expert commentary. Hats off to him- I'm very much appreciate of free, high-quality streams like his

    Crockett Memorial

    In fairness, the main guy (don’t know his name) provided a free stream both days for over 12 hours and doesn’t claim to be an expert- it’s just a hobby of his

    Crockett Memorial

    I agree- it is astonishing how good Shane is at 10 ball when he gets in stroke- he is like clockwork. He definitely has the best 10 ball break of all time

    Crockett Memorial

    Does anybody know who won the tournament? I went to sleep around 10:30 so I didn't see the end and the bracket wasn't updated as far as I can tell

    Fargo Rating Algorithm Question

    I recently played in a tournament and was surprised to learn that I had a Fargo Rating as I don't recall ever playing in a tournament with my full name and I don't think the league I play in submits info to Fargo (many of the players in the league don't have a Fargo when I looked them up). How...

    Why not Pinegar?

    One guy who is rarely mentioned who has high ability level and is level headed is Jesse Engel. Perhaps he just doesn't play enough to be seriously considered

    You are right- Rogan's imitation of Earl occurred at Hollywood Billiards

    Open- or closed-bridge hand and gloves?

    There are guys like Shaw and Appleton who hardly ever use a closed bridge, but it seems that most players use a closed bridge on about 1/5 to 1/3 of their shots depending of course on the type of shot. I know that Earl is strong advocate of utilizing a closed bridge when needed. You also see SVB...
