Just curious as to folks thoughts about American Rotation - the game that Joe Tucker created. http://americanbilliardclub.com/
If you have not checked it out, do so! My views: I joined a league and am really enjoying the format. I would guess my skill level as a low-to-mid B player, depending on how you rank. No longer play leagues, but played 9ball TAP as a 5; APA as a 7-8. I rank at the second tier of our skill levels in AmRo.
The game is a lot of fun; great combination of offensive and defensive skills - a real strategic thinking game. For us: 10 people in a league; round robin format, so nine weeks of matches. Top six playoff at end. I am on the cusp of making the top six with one match left for me to play - we will see!
I joined because I love to play pool, and I want to PLAY the few times I can get out to the hall. Most league formats are team, and there is a lot of waiting around to play a relatively short match. So, for me, AmRo (plus a 14.1 league I play in) is perfect. Flexible hours, match up individually, play against some strong players in a non-handicapped format.
For those of you that play, what are your likes/dislikes?
