The thread on the Fargo Ratings made me do some thinking on comparing players from different areas. The problem, as I see it, with most of the rating systems based on results is the difficulty of comparing the ratings on results against completely different opponents. We use scoring average in...

Did anyone watch the Jay Helfert interview on predator10ball.com? It's a good interview but I couldn't help being distracted wondering what Jay was doing with his right hand, lol. http://www.predator10ball.com/lasvegas2009/videos/ It's under the Ambiance section.

Just letting everyone know the brackets are set up now at the predator10ball website.

Last night this situation came up: Player A broke and didn't sink any balls. Player B called a high ball, and sank it but in the process knocked the 8-ball into another pocket. Since the high ball wasn't pocketed on a legal shot we finally decided that the score should be 10-0 because Player A...

Does anyone know if the Michael Massey that had a good Day 1(125,000 in chips) at the World Series of Poker is pool's Mike Massey? Thanks in advance for any answers.

I just had a thought. If I was rich or famous I imagine that I would have a Lexus Nexus search done (daily/weekly?) on all news items searching for my name to make sure that people weren't using my name to make money. Maybe we should take it as a positive sign that Stanley Ho hasn't issued a...

I just noticed that the first fourty qualifying tournaments for the December Tour Card Qualifying Tournament have been posted on the IPT website. http://internationalpooltour.com/ipt_content/event_qualifiers/na_06_open_default.asp I wonder if any of the qualifiers who are on the borderline for...

I see from the email I just received that Hall and Rempe aren't ready to start playing yet(I think they were both injured or ill). The first tiebreaker is based on coming in third in two or more of the qualifying tournaments. I just checked and there are no players who have come in third twice...

Just letting people know that the player lists for the IPT qualifiers this weekend are up on their site. www.internationalpooltour.com

Has anybody noticed if the roundrobin scorecards automatically refresh? I keep hitting the refreh button but maybe I don't have to.

The roundrobin scoresheets are showing some results. Lou Butera, Scott Frost and Karl Boyes have won their matches.

I assume the reason for the large first prize compared to the second prize is publicity(it sounds better to say first prize was $350,000 than a smaller amount) but the disparity in this tour seems especially large. $350K for first, 99K for second and 80K for third). Do you think this will...

I copied this line from the Norwegian 9-ball Challenge Draw & Results section: Break box, and racking is “tapped” Does anyone know what they mean by tapped? The only thing I can think of is the way they had to tap down the balls to set up for the Sardo Tight Rack.

My team played in a tournament today and we started the last round down by 25 points. We won the last round by 25 points to tie the match. The VNEA tournament rules say to replay the final round as it stands on the scoresheet. The League organizer ruled that we had to start the last round...
