    APA, FARGO and the death of 8 ball.....

    Fargo doesn't care if you win in 2 innings or 5 innings. Winning is all that matters. So the captain telling the player to slow down when he won in 2 innings makes no sense. The only way to sandbag your Fargo is to lose. Which I don't think the captain wants.

    Questions on Diamond "Pro Cut " Tables

    Ridiculous. Diamond tables don't play short because of humidity.

    My Fargorate progression

    Agree. The graph is pretty useless as is. Also it would be nice if you hover over the bar graph it would also give the numbers for the particular range.

    Question. There's one team in my local 8 ball league that uses the Black TV ball set.

    I like shooting with a measle ball. It helps me to see what if any english I'm putting on the cue ball. I don't find many opponents who agree to playing with it though. So its just a practice ball for the most part. If the league won't do anything about the ball set issue then you should just...

    Question. There's one team in my local 8 ball league that uses the Black TV ball set.

    Are those balls in the table 24/7? Or they just get them out for league? If they are just out for league I would definitely complain to the league operator. This is an unfair advantage. Depending on how much this means to you, you could also write to the League Office.

    Shooting Hard vs Rolling the Ball.

    Playing 14.1 teaches a player about all possible cue ball speeds. My experience on Diamond pro cut pockets with deep ledges taught me to hit balls much softer. Softer shots go in more frequently. More pocket speed and less firing them in.

    My Fargorate progression

    In BCA/CSI pool league the default is 400. If the League Operator thinks your speed is higher, then they will adjust it. We have a fairly small league and I haven't seen anyone start lower than 400. But a few have started above.

    Can I question my Fargo rating?

    Yes. That is how BCA works here also. I play in a BCA 8 ball league using the same structure. The 10 point scoring system. Races to 1 have a large variance, so the Fargo Rate must average over many single game matches. Since you have been playing for months, 5 games a week, you likely have 100...

    Can I question my Fargo rating?

    It depends on the ratings of those you are beating at a 75% clip. I don't know where or who to complain to. Mike is here. I'm guessing he will see this thread and post something.

    Greater Minds than Mine Needed

    In the pic the space looks to be around 30 ft wide. Assuming true, then it would be 100 ft long. 30ft is awkward for 9ft tables. Another assumption about splitting the room in half. 50ft for each size. 6 - 9ft tables with extra room for seating. And 10 - 7ft tables with no extra room for tables...

    Projection training system for Android device

    The interface is projected on the table and you control what happens with a wireless mouse. You can also add a wireless keyboard if you want to type vs use virtual keyboard. It also has a web interface you can use with a smart phone or tablet.

    Projection training system for Android device

    I don't know about any projection drill software that runs on an android device. I own a Projection Pro Billiards device and software package. It comes with its own compute device, a raspberry pi. Love it. I use it a lot.

    what ball set is this?

    I have a set of the Premiums and a set of the Tournament Edition. I haven't noticed any difference in play. But the Tournament Edition are definitely more durable as advertised. I've been playing straight pool on a 1920's wood ball return table. 40 matches to 125, 2/3 premium and 1/3 tournament...
