Keith's sidearm stroke is always attributed to his having started playing so young, but there doesn't appear to be as much sidearm here at age 12 as there was later in his career. It doesn't seem like it is straighter because he might be stretching just a little for this shot, but perhaps that...

You can see a list of the top 100 female players in the world (that Fargo is aware of, and that have had enough activity in the last couple of years to warrant inclusion), along with their Fargo ratings, at the link below. It defaults to the Top 100 World, so just click on "Top 100 World -...

The accepted calcutta "rule" everywhere I have been and heard of has been that the player has a "right" to buy half of themselves from the winning bidder (up until the brackets are drawn), but are under no obligation to have to do so.

This is my thought as well, this game would be a massive safety fest. There are just waaaay too many times you wouldn't be able to avoid a stripe if you tried to continue the run and so you would play safe. Any time you would need to kind of turn loose of the cue ball to continue your run, it...

Sounds like Washington state would still care lol. I think most of the calcuttas that get found out are because somebody who was mad at the people running them or mad at the venue reports them, or someone running a competing event/tour reports them. I don't think there are many pool players...

I think there is some inherent unfairness in some people getting to lose twice before being out of the tournament while others are ousted from the event on their first loss (wherever that cutoff point happens), so there is some tradeoff. I don't think anyone really disagrees that that is...

Fargo's formula doesn't know who the men and women are, it just sees people playing people. If your argument is just that women aren't usually playing the players with the really high Fargo ratings, I would point out that most men aren't either. Fargo essentially works like this. There is a...

Fairness is right at the most important thing in any sport, because the whole point is to find the most deserving winner. If you desire to grow your fan base, which is typically the case, and certainly the case here, then entertainment value is just as important. Because both are of...

In the case of the "one guy" that is going home after one defeat in the finals, it shows that they were not good enough to win that set to win the event. They had their chance and failed. Your same argument still applies just as much for the "one" as it did for the "many". You will probably...

Maybe my memory is failing me or I just missed or am forgetting about some events, but what I seem to remember is that he still has the dog in him big time even to this day when it comes to the biggest pressure situations. He has managed to get there in the biggest pressure moments a time of...

Kazakis dogs his brains out under the pressure of this kind of format. If any kind of judgement were being allowed in choosing the team, he would almost certainly never be one of the top five best choices.

And lots of glue separations.

That's the only difference it takes. Totally changes the game into something else. You apparently don't have much or perhaps any experience with those kinds of pockets, but once you have played on them some it would become apparent how much it changes the game.

That game, like snooker, is a different enough to pool that most pool pros would have little chance to do any good at all so they wouldn't waste their time trying. The Ko brothers on the other hand, living in a region where those tables are common and where that may even be the most commonly...

The short answer is yes, they men and women with the same Fargo rating are equally skilled, and it is proven, not conjecture. This is a short video that Mike Page of FargoRate did 8 years ago to address your question of whether a 790 (or any other Fargo rating) woman is the same as a 790 man...

So it is a big problem if only one guy gets screwed, but not a problem at all if a bunch of guys get screwed? I'm failing to see the logic there. And if you were just wanting to make an argument for which is worse between the two, even though both are bad, I think there is a stronger argument...

I suggest Team Philippines vs Team Taiwan/China (or just team Taiwan if it wouldn't be politically workable to have Taiwan and China together as a singular team). That gives the country of the namesake (Efren Reyes) its own team. It gives both teams the maximum motivation to win since they are...

Somebody could have cut that pin shorter to help it fit in a case, or to make it quicker to screw on the shaft, etc.

This is just dead wrong. The referee's job is to make to make the most accurate call possible after looking at all the available evidence and seeing if it makes it conclusive one way or the other, and if nothing conclusively shows a foul, then giving the call to the shooter. Among the evidence...

In case he wants to research this maker, his name is William Rikard, better known as "Toeboy".
