I'm visiting my Philadelphia work site for a few days and made it into Fusco's 'The Spot' today! Enjoyed every minute I was there. Clean and quiet, tons of pool memorabilia around!

Nope. His group stage was: Sofia Mast: 6-3 win James Laderia: 6-3 loss Robert Wendel: 6-0 loss (maybe forfeit? Tyler Styer: 6-5 loss

I can't stand take what you make for a tournament. I played Jeremy Seaman at this past event and one time he made 3 or 4 solids on one break. Every striped ball was wide open, and two of the remaining solids were pretty bad. He chose stripes and ran out in like 45 seconds... as it should be!

I read the OP as considering me the best from Arizona (AZ), not this website. Neither are true.:giggle:

No. That used to be the rule in their shootout, but never in their Open events. The shootout is designed for action and excitement. They recently changed that rule because the leagues are growing quickly and many league members were confused when they saw that happen on the stream. Now the...

I let Joven think that... 🤣🤣

Thanks for the shout out! There are a few players from AZ I can't mess with, but I'm working on it! 🥰🥰🥰

As JAB already mentioned, you are confusing two different tournaments. I know the format and/or rules are not everyone's cup of tea, but if you are passionate enough to openly discuss what you don't like about it, the least you could do is take the time to understand what you're complaining about.

Made the quarterfinals of the Open this time out. My best finish yet! Dave and Leah were awesome. The food at this place was excellent and you can tell they love to take care of the players!

It's 100% pattern racking. Every player breaks the same pattern every time.

I agree. I did like it in the shootout format though.

What are the "many" changes you've seen?

It might seem like that, but it's not true. I can only think of one actual rule they've changed for the Americans and it was certainly based on player feedback. Used to be that if you ONLY made the 8-ball on the break, it spotted and it was your opponent's turn. Now it spots and you remain at...

It's practically ALL they play.

The rules Ultimate Pool is using is only out of the ordinary for Americans. It's very common for them. Our rules are pretty goofy to them as well.

They listened to the feedback on the idiotic rule you referred to and they changed that. I hate that the "golden break" is no longer a win in the shootout, but I like that rule in the Open.

That is absolutely crazy...

Do you not believe it? Or is it not enough?

Ultimate Pool will be setting up the arena table a couple days before the event and that is where they will play the big match. 30 second shot clock, international rules. It'll be a great match!

What do you think your rating should be if you were established?
