On a side note...
This is why we, the jury/peanut gallery, shouldnt be too quick to deliberate before hearing all the facts.
I suppose the retarded thread title didnt help much either.
From memory, the APA only disqualifies a team after 2 players in their roster get raised above the starting handicap level.
During the tournament, if someone(s) is playing " too good" after a match, they are placed on watch for their next match. If they are determined to play "too good" again...
Agreed. I don't see how anyone can think Aranas has any advantage, anywhere. These two are about as evenly matched as you can get, imo. The Fargo numbers seemed to pan out pretty accurate, too.

This list should drop off Yang Chin Shun and add Wu Jiaqing.
Wu is born and raised in Taiwan. He came up, in Pool, there. It was only as an adult that he moved to mainland China.
Eric
For sure. Statistically speaking, Taiwan is several standard deviations above the PI in Pool talent outliers. I figured you, if anyone, would appreciate that.

I loved this match. Glass City, Ohio?
The way I heard it, Busti won the first race to 13 set. Archer wins the flip and runs 13 & out in the second set!
After the set, Busti asks Archer to play again and double the bet. Archer declines doubling and they play again. Archer loses the third...
Fair enough. Lets say, I over estimated the racking time. I still think that (including walking to the foot end, racking, then walking back to the CB, for the shot) the whole process might take at least 30 seconds?
Eric
No worries, just an observation.
I mean, it took JS a little over 4 hours to run 626. At your pace, you would have done it in less than 2.5 hours. That's fast.
Eric
104 balls = a little more than 6 racks
6 racks = about 1.5 minutes to rack, each
23 minutes - 9 minutes (to rack) = 14 minutes to run 104 balls
104 balls ÷ 14 minutes = 7.4 balls per minute AVERAGE!!
Eric >:o
With all due respect, your two statements are huge contradictions. I dunno if I would assume someone is easily a 100 ball runner based on watching only a 60ish ball run. You know what they say, when you assume, right? :)
Eric
The Taiwanese team (Ko, Chang, et al) will send it in, you just gotta ask. I'd be surprised if anyone gets turned down, unless it's an out of line game or a gaff.
Best bet is to approach the team manager dude, first.
