I have a cue that hits silently. In reality the cue requirements for competition are based on size only.

Do you even play this game or just troll the forum?
{Note: this is not an attempt at humor}
Forged generally means a piece of metal is heated up above 1,150ºF and then compressed under high forces (pounded with a hammer or using a press) to make the structure denser and obtain properties of hardness, toughness, and abrasion resistance.
And thus forging really does involve fire (heat or flames).
I, for one, do not see how the competitor or his pool cue could be considered to be "forged in fire". Neither would survive the 1,000ºF heat, and neither would survive the <mechanical> tons-of-compression.
Thus, the topic is nonsensical.

Not sure if you are aware, the American Cuemakers Association has an award ceremony at Super Billiards Expo. I think it's called the People's choice, and every ACA member can submit one cue, which they have built specifically for this show and to compete for the award. You could reach out to the individual cuemakers, and interview them on what they are making for the competition. The show could culminate with the award ceremony, and have invited pros test hit the cues.

The show would need to use time lapse photography because building a cue takes a lot longer than forging
any knife blade requires as you see from the show. The best you could do would make a house cue using a
lathe. And we all know there are different types and idiosyncrasies to wood selections as well. Cue making is
just not suited for anything like a Forged In Fire arrangement because of the time and different steps required.
