The higher number is the better player. Maybe the captain let him win. Oh and in APA 9 ball, racks don't mater. It is scored by number of balls pocketed.

It can be done for the right amount of money. You just need to size the UPS for the wattage of your bulbs. 12 hours is a long time. Fluorescents are a bit power hungry. So the battery(s) will be large. Maybe the lights are 100W per bulb, that is about 1 amp each. So 4 amps for 12 hours is ~50AH...

I doubt those will be bright enough. I had something like that as a backlight for my tv. Why not cut the hard wire and splice in a UPS. They are cheap and reliable and you will get your current lights for the table.

I went with a perimeter light. Couldn't be happier. The downside is all other lights **** by comparison.

For those big tournaments they definitely get the data from whoever does the bracket. That was discussed as an option at wbca meetings.

Based on what I've heard from the Western BCA people is that Fargo required the tournament to enter the results in a spreadsheet of a specific format. Pushing the work from Fargo to the tournament volunteers.

That is not what the data said. If the breaker made a ball on the break, 127 times, they ran out 85 times. 67%. but real break and run % is 85/163 or 52%.

The bolded numbers don't make sense to me. Why are these not the same?

57% win rate against a 704 rated player puts you at 745 fargo

The only reason 9 ball bnr is so low now is because the powers that be changed the breaking rules to make it harder. Hard break. Break in the box. 9 ball on the spot. 4 inch pockets. When the old rules were in play 9 ball at the pro level was a break and run festival.

Where I played APA all the matches got 3 tables. A practice table for each team and a match table. So when waiting for, or after, your match you could practice. Later in the night if the matches went long we would convert 1 of the practice tables to another match table. It was very fun. And our...

I only want to watch 8 ball played on bar boxes. 8 ball on a 9' table is definitely not interesting to me. There aren't many pro tournaments on a bbox. So I end up watching a lot of tournaments with 500-700+ fargo rated players. I find it very interesting.

one shot isn't going to say much about a persons speed imo.

Mike posted the number not long ago. If my memory was better I could tell you. I think it was around 450.

I figured this would have to be the case. In tournaments this type of information is lost. But in my local league there are many rumors about these questions.

Darren Appleton. It was about a year ago he decided to record an attempt to run 100 balls and ran 145! lol Its on his youtube if interested.

For Fargo Rate playing BCA 10 point handicap, does Fargo Rate consider the game score? If a player wins 10-0 vs 10-7 is there a difference in the Fargo Rate calculation? What about BR and TR?

No bars or pool halls add money?

Why wouldn't I just play a sequence of 3 ball sequences to double my points?

Stripes have a pretty easy safe after you give ball in hand.
