Hi Scott, Hope all is well! Actually, I was curious about Tommy being a touring pro on the PBT and Camel tours. I've never heard of him and was curious if he was a touring pro player I didn't know about? Then again, he could have been one of the many amateurs that used to jump in those Camel...

. Since you are laying out of your credentials, could you tell me more? I've never heard of you. More Curious, than anything. Eric

Are you sure about this? I think it might not be completely accurate. You might be thinking of China. While there are youth elective courses in school (junior high/high school), I've don't think they have State sponsored academies? From what I understand, the government used to give stipends...

Like I said, i gave hard facts, when the lynch mob was making assumptions. There really wasn't much opinion, good or bad, in my posts. Also, I dont know if you are a 100 ball runner or not. I didnt bring it up, I just questioned it. No worries. Eric

Not sure why you singled out my comment. In fact, my contributions to this thread were to get the facts straight and un-lynch the lynch mob. You might have missed one of my posts where I already said, what you just said, in the first paragraph (above)...

I'm more familiar with the Taipei area and Kaohsiung. Taichung City should have pool halls, I'm sure. It a metro area. I guess my point is that Taiwan is not a Pool crazed country like the PI, for example. It's not close. For that matter, an argument can be made that Pool is more popular...

Ok, I'll give you that; the actual poolplayers are more cognoscenti than ours. As far as the overall population, Pool is more of a subculture sport, imo. It's not like a large part of the population follows Pool or are fans. Pool rooms aren't everywhere. In fact, once you leave Taipei or...

One thing, for sure... saying you are the best Pool player in that household means A LOT more than if anyone else says it... Eric

Very little. Pool isnt a big deal in Taiwan, much like here. Eric

10 minutes til showtime... Eric

It has been established already. Sean is an SL6 in Apa 8 ball. Eric

Local guy who's game has been steadily improving. Practices a lot, at home, as well as local tourneys. Good guy to talk to. Eric

Cory in DC said it best. Ratings/skill level can vary a good bit, depending on the level of play of the local players. If you have stronger players at the top, then your 6's will not get to be 7s, even though they would be 7s in a weaker area with no one to beat up on them (in a nutshell)...

You dont know that guy, by now? He does shit like that to endear himself to the forum... Eric

Hu, The line I said was meant to be a bit of a light hearted joke. You dont get out much? Eric

It's common for things to get questioned, especially if something sounds out of line. It doesn't have to be viewed as some kind of attack. Regarding my post about someone stating that Sean was a 100 ball runner, that doesn't line up with my expectations of a non sandbagging APA SL6 and a...

Im just surprised that a non sandbagging APA 6 (in 8 ball) and an unofficial Fargorate of 534...is a 100 ball runner. Of course, I could be wrong, wouldn't be the first time... Eric

Is this for real?? Eric

Yep. That's the "A" in APA! Eric

Not trying to single you out but... -Sean Leinen did not play or have any affiliation with the DQ'd team (otehr than being friends) -Sean only has an 8 ball rating (SL6) but that has no bearing on this because he was not in the 9 Ball event -Sean was not screwed, hosed or even squirted on...
