And as a followup to the record in that note, here is some subsequent information about the Don Coates tournament.
He played Sky, Donny Mills, Archer, Shuff, Morra, Jeremy Jones, and Corey Deuel--with a total score of 63 to 49
Now more than half of world top 30 signed up for US Open

Don't think so.
He played US Open 8-Ball and 10-Ball in 2013
and at this point last year he was signed up for US Open 9-Ball but then didn't make it
I was talking to Roy Francisco he's the guy who brought Dodong over here to the states and is his backer and sponsor and i asked him what he thought about James's #3 Fargo rating.
He said James is not looking to play any of the top guys for the cash like SVB,Orcollo,Shaw without a handicap.
Roy backs Dennis Orcollo too so i think he has a very good idea how both players play.
Roy said they are hoping James can get his Visa issue worked out in time for him to play in The Derby so looks like no US Open this year for Dodong Diamond.

That is great that Wu and a bunch of other Chinese / Taipei players are coming.
Which means mosconi points truly wouldn't have mattered! Hope I can can down there to see it, but think I will be working
Yep Iv seen him play and he's played in a couple turneys here in the US he seemed to hold his Fargo rating I'm not sold on it but his backer says he's a better 10 ball player than DO

I kinda liken this to a pitcher or hitter going thru teams for the first time , the second and third time often bare a far different result, such as NYY slugger who's plummeted after the all star break

James Aranas. If you haven't seen him play, you're in for a treat.
The two of you seem to be relating very different things from the backer that would seem to be in conflict with each other. Could one of you have misunderstood something?
I obviously can't read the backer's mind but I'm finding it a little difficult to believe that much of anybody including the backer would put Aranas above Orcullo at any game at this point in time.
Sounds like his backer is a lock artist
Well Roy ain't trying to kill his action when he goes back home which is were he he is now , and what I said is what Roy told me personally take that for what it's worth it's his opinion,he followed with he breaks better 10 ball than DO but DO is better 9 ball player ,, my reply was I'd have to see it to believe it
Roy is trying to make him a one pocket player , in the short time he was here he went up several levels but still has a long way to go he tends to try to play like Do relying on his straight shooting rather than out maneuver the player he's got a ways to go

someone said it. Must be true.
But the trip abroad is crucial to Aranas' development.
Ya gotta play real good to play in different places each week and still come out winner.

The US Open is a tough tournament.....
...even a retired guy has a FargoRate of 788....
