    I was hoping the shootouts would be over after the Women's 10-Championship but....

    Many here don't like the format. Railbirds are not the core audience, they're catering to attract mainstream viewers. Chris Melling's famous 8-ball run-out garnered 22 million views, while John Schmidt was struggling to get 1,000 likes on some of his record attempts.

    Missing cue alert, reward if returned.

    From the responses to this thread, it seems more were interested in arguing and nitpicking, than genuinely want to help. If you want more details than published by Ed, or disagree how he handled this, you can DM him on FB. I'm glad this one had a happy ending, unlike the Tascarella...

    performance variance

    If you're into the math, check the FAQ on FargoRate website, where they go deep into this.

They currently have a sample size of 19 million games...

    Players from The Hustlers reality show - what are they doing now?

    Formats for leagues around the world

    I noticed many people commenting have only experience APA 8-ball, and based their opinion solely on that. APA 8-ball is geared towards beginners and intermediates, and likely never experienced APA's other league products such as APA Masters (where everyone plays even up, and jump cues are allowed).
