Wpa membership This policy has been in effect for awhile - it's just that many US players were not aware. Also, I don't know the fees the WPA gets from events, but it is nowhere near the 7.5% mentioned earlier. I believe they ended up changing that a few years ago to mostly fees from the...

WPA contract The voice of reason is Mr. Bond. The US is out of step with the rest of the billiard world. If the US pro players refuse to sign or boycott, that will have zero affect on the events held all over the world, where only a couple us players ever go. The WPA has issues that are very...

The original poster GETS it. That is one of the advantages of Fargo Rate. It is not a handicapping system - it is a rating system. If you want the masses involved, there has to be a FAIR and accurate method of determining the different skill levels. That is what FargoRate does. jTaylor996...

I appreciate the comparisons, however you are missing a few very important ingredients. Because of casino scheduling issues, CSI was not able to announce the dates until very late and the dates we were forced into were very close to our nationals - so there was a lot of confusion. In addition...

I have been half following the situation in Florida. Its a real shame. I think Vivian was trying to do the right thing. But I will agree that the event 'seemed' to be a little rough around the edges last year. No way to follow the matches and difficult to see scores and payouts etc. This is...

BCA and all the comments It's late and I'm tired- but I've got to respond..... Ive know Bill Meachem for years. And known of SJD for years. I also have known Scott Lee for 20+ years, and Mr. Bond for just a couple of years. You guys all have pieces of the puzzle - but none have the answer. I...

??????? Your information is misleading!!!!! What event is this? (I know but betting most people don't) if you're gonna put out what you portray as a news flash PLEASE put down accurate info. The BCAPL is not doing anything of which you describe! and I am pretty sure the promoter of this...

Ivory John is right. The value of ivory is market driven. Conceptually, It's an easy fix, the extremists would rather burn confiscated ivory which just pushes up the price. The patients are running the asylum!!! Mark Griffin

USBTC results I'm sorry, but that question is above my pay grade-lol. If you 'click' on the next match, the bracket will highlight. Not sure if that helps. Different events have different size brackets. Not sure if that would solve the issue. I think the bracket you linked to is a 128 bracket...

SVB and CSI One stroke, CSI has an arrangement with SVB. He wins the tournament and he gets paid. JUST LIKE ANYONE ELSE. I guarantee you that if we were sponsoring Shane (or anyone else), we would be advertising that-not hiding it. You're wondering if we are paying him cash is just...

2016 US Bar Table Championships, Aug 22-28 Thank you for the nice response. I agree completely. I do try to communicate. And I try to be upfront and respect others - even when not agreeing. But my peave is the attitude of some of the AZ posters. Many time the only reason I respond is to keep...

2016 US Bar Table Championships, Aug 22-28 I have read this thread and although I don't want to get into any pissing contests, people who have all of these answers and solutions have never tried to book an event at a major hotel. Believe me, if it was that easy, we would do it. It took close...

2016 US Bar Table Championships, Aug 22-28 ooops - duplicate post

Griff's in las vegas Just saw this thread early this morning. I'll try to post an update later today. We're hoping to open in 3 weeks or so. It will be one of the nicest rooms in the country. No smoking - that will be revisited when gaming license is approved in 8 months or so. This is NOT a...

Check out Griff's I wont be down at the Westgate much - but usually stop by to see some friends. I encourage any AZ'ers that want to chat about FargoRate or anything else, to stop by Griff's and introduce yourself. You can call me (702-835-2000) to make sure I'll be around if you know when...

Next year Chris, I kinda agree with what you're suggesting, we haven't had our event debriefing yet (server down till Monday or Tuesday), but we are definitely going to address starter rates, low robustness, and other factors. We did get a ton of info from this year's event and hope to maximize...

FargoRate league management software (LMS) The software is currently being tested by many (20?) and hopefully ready for release in fairly short order. I had heard maybe a month. This is a Mike and Steve question. Mark Griffin

FargoRate In ten years, the data collected and the data available will be much more than now. FargoRate will be much more common and be used in ways we can't even imagine. Mikes railroad analogy is accurate. Improvements will be constantly made and the product will improve. That is what I was...

There is a misunderstanding Cleary, Evidently you think we did nothing to screen players all the past years. I guess I better tell Bill Stock that he didn't do anything the last 10 years or so. I do read the forums, and I do believe most people want to offer positive suggestions. However...
