    APA Skill Level vs Win Percentage

    Love the data! The only rank that can be directly affected by only win percentage is 2. If you go abode 50% you move to a 3, which you can see in your data. You can theoretically have very high winning percentages for other ranks, although your average innings will be very close to moving you up...

    Web page that calculates APA 8-ball rating from win/loss record

    The main component is your adjusted innings if you win. If you lose a match, you get the actual innings apples to your rank. If you win, and you win in more innings that rank range, you get an adjusted amount based on your rank and winning percentage. This is obviously in place to keep someone...

    What do you want out of a retailer?

    These days you need a good web site. Also, it doesn't hurt to have the products you advertise on the site. I could not find Magic Chalk, or any other type of chalk for that matter. -Coach

    Glove?

    A friend of mine and I walked in to a local joint and played the nights matches with oven mitts. They worked great, but I don't know the maker. True story.

    Deal gone bad on superior cues site

    The only way I can explain how Martin is willing to take this type of PR hit is Don must buy a ton of cues from him. He should have never put himself in this situation, but now that he has, well, his post speaks for itself.

    Pool - Stopping the Decline and Going Mainstream

    You want pool to grow, children need to be expose to it. Not sure about others, but I'm not taking my kids to the place I play because of the smoke. Once smoking is gone, more kids will get involved.

    What cue do I have???

    It would have to be a very early Helmstetter if it was mid-60's, and too early for Adam, which started up in '69-70. Also the joint pin doesn't look like early Adam cues.

    At what point is smoking bad for business?

    I guess it depends on the business you want, and the business you want to build in the future. Personally, I can't stand smoke, but I play pool and have to deal with it. I would love to take my son, daughter and wife to play as well, but the smoke prevents it. Therefor, while our local pool hall...

    One Pocket killed the sport...

    Pool has become more difficult to pass on to kids. Far less people smoking these days, but tons of smoking in pool halls. While I will go and play and come home smelling like shot, I will never take my kids and subject them to it. If I had a clean, smoke-free room to go to, my son would be...

    Would this be considered sandbagging?

    Those matches in the LTC and NTC count double toward your rank, thus making it more "sensitive".

    Would this be considered sandbagging?

    Win percentage combined with average innings give you your innings per game in matches you win. Your rank is based on your best 10 out of your last 20. Tourney matches count as 2. It is certainly possible to have a very high winning percentage and keep your rank, but you will be within one match...

    to all you apa bashers...and all league haters also

    Our LO does a solid job policing play and promoting sportsmanship. We also have a board of governors who are reps for each night and act as an extension of the LO where possible. It works well, and if APA wasn't around I would not be playing pool. Just fyi, I play 8-ball once a week as a 7. I...
