A vs A+ vs A++ (Pool Player Classifications)

Doesn't it just differ from region to region?

Everyone where i play says i'm an A player, but i've never won a damn thing and can maybe run 1 rack in 10 playing the ghost. I tell them that i'm a B at best.

It's my personal belief that they just don't want to hurt anybodies feelings by telling them that they're just bangers on their best days so they over rank them by a lot.
 
You language speaks for itself

It all depends on the size of the sample. When somebody asks me how good I play, I just say, "I am the best player within a 3 foot radius.":D

Thanks for the laugh troll
 
If I can't run out after 30 years of playing pool, I am wasting my time

Just different ways of communicating the same skill level. If a region calls SVB an A+ player, then it's the same as another region just calling him a top pro. That region's A players would then be B or C level players in stricter region.

I think the primary difference is simply that one region identifies more skill levels (Pro, Semi-Pro, AAA, AA, A, B, C, D) than the other (A+, A, A-, B, C, D).

A = Local city champion/shortstop player
A+ = Regional champion player
A++ = World Class player

Letter ratings are about as useless as APA ratings.

Fargo Ratings are the way to go.

650 = Local city champion/shortstop player
700 = Regional champion player
750 = World Class player
(my rough approximations)
 
Can't wait until I am 64. I love to rub it in when I beat players twice my age now!

Could be a real challenge beating someone twice your age at 64.:p

The Beatles said this about 64:
"When I'm Sixty Four"

When I get older losing my hair
Many years from now
Will you still be sending me a valentine
Birthday greetings, bottle of wine?
If I'd been out till quarter to three
Would you lock the door?
Will you still need me, will you still feed me
When I'm sixty-four?

You'll be older too
And if you say the word
I could stay with you

I could be handy, mending a fuse
When your lights have gone
You can knit a sweater by the fireside
Sunday mornings go for a ride
Doing the garden, digging the weeds
Who could ask for more?
Will you still need me, will you still feed me
When I'm sixty-four?

Every summer we can rent a cottage in the Isle of Wight
If it's not too dear
We shall scrimp and save
Grandchildren on your knee
Vera, Chuck & Dave

Send me a postcard, drop me a line
Stating point of view
Indicate precisely what you mean to say
Yours sincerely, wasting away
Give me your answer, fill in a form
Mine for evermore
Will you still need me, will you still feed me
When I'm sixty-four?
Ho!

Maybe (and this is just a strong suggestion), you could have made it a question. Then you might have gotten some benefit.

Unless you're the current incarnation of Fast Larry, which I would hope isn't your goal.


Freddie <~~~ don't want any more Fast Larrys
