Here is what Pat said when I emailed him about it: "Sorry, but not available at this time, although it is on our list to digitize, but it will be a while. Pat Fleming" Still looking!! A VHS copy would be fine, if anyone wants to dig through their dust covered boxes in their garage it would be...

Looking for a copy of this match from Accu-stats. VHS, DVD, Betamax, Braille... I don't care. Tony Ellin vs. Shannon Daulton* (PR) | 22nd. S.R.O. - December 1995 Anyone have this one tucked away in their garage bins? Thanks

Ugh, replace Hatch with Thorpe please!

First off, after 200 tournament games logged why would anyone throw that much money away to sandbag one tournament? I'm talking established (200+ games) players only. If you put those ratings in the FargoRate game matcher, you will see that the 525 has a 2.3% chance of winning an even race to 6...

I agree with you except, according to Mike at Fargo Rate, these numbers are not inaccurate once you are established. I've heard talk about not allowing anyone to play that isn't established, but this would take several years to establish all the players. A better idea is to make...

Yes, this is exactly what kept me from playing singles this year. I'm rated a ~664, I played the platinum division last year not knowing where the cut off was. I finished in the money, but was very outclassed by a bunch of people. So I knew this year that I had no chance of winning the platinum...

The real question is whether the captain or team members intentionally submitted the wrong fargo scores to make sure they entered the Gold division. If they calculated a 15 point overage, and knew they would be forced to play Platinum; then submitted faulty paperwork on purpose, they should be...

Eight foot tables are for the home only. Go all 9' or replace the 8' with 7' like others say.

That last shot is so awesome, what a talent he has!

Devil Went Down to Georgia, almost every third song.

Why has no one mentioned the tiny hair line cracks that develop in all the sets of Cyclops balls during the Vegas Nationals? Last year, the final two days of BCA nationals, you could pick up almost any object ball and find small hair line cracks or nicks. I noticed at the start of the event...

This is in the back room at the Jointed Cue in Sacramento, CA.

Thank you for that info Mike, looking forward to seeing what the "new me" will be after getting drilled in the Platinum division. Any news on when the new FargoRate App will be available?

The system needs to compensate for time off of playing. The score needs to degrade over time. If you play bad in a few tournaments and drop your rating, its better for you then not playing at all for a year. Even though you would be technically worse by not playing. I've played several years in...

This exactly. I was there, and the Europe fans were never out of line really, and never too obnoxious. It was an absolute blast to be able to shout and cheer for these guys. It adds an entire new element to the match, for both fans and players. Pool needs more events like this, more...

Thank you all for the different viewpoints. I can see this is not a standard practice by any means. Some tournaments I play in, the director stays until almost 2am. Others, the TD gives the payouts to the bar and leaves when its down to the last 4 players by 11pm. Sometimes the TD will also...

Just wondering what the standard etiquette is for tipping the tournament director after winning a tournament? Does it change based on the prize? $50, $100, $500, $5000? Do you always, sometimes or never tip? Thanks for the advice.

Obviously situation dependent... because some fouls are not clearly observed. 1. If I think I made a good hit on a close shot, and my opponent thinks I fouled but he didn't call a ref to watch. Very specific in this case, shooting player wins whether or not he really thinks he fouled or not...

I have yet to see a sponsor that was not pool related in some way for any pool event. Pool only markets to pool players, and not general people. Baseball does not show commercials for baseball bats during the games, for example. I don't care if the players use marbles instead of pool balls, or...

[Previous Comment Redacted] There are more women then ever playing pool. In my pool hall they are taking sign ups for a women's league and have over 30 names down already. These are all casual players.
