Billiard University (BU) playing-ability-exam scores and ratings

My good friend and Doctor Dave, congrats on your rising scores, great improvement. I know how hard you've been working on this.
Thanks. I did work hard on this for a while, but I'm done for now.

So my question is...

...What are you giving up? (I have no idea what a Semi Pro gives an Adv-3)
I don't give up anything to a sandbagging, under-performing, seasoned gambler like you. In fact, the amount of "weight" I would require from you is "off the scales."

BTW, to be clear, the rating labels in the list should not be interpreted too literally. I'm obviously not a "semi pro" player ... not even close. That score/rating corresponds to my best possible performance over many attempts on an 8' table with fairly generous pockets (with a TDF of 0.84).

Now, if a player were able to get that score/rating routinely on tougher equipment (e.g., the WPA "standard" spec table with a TDF of 1.0), then that player probably would be at the "semi pro" level.

Congratulations again.
Thanks again.

This summer, I plan to try to do my best on a 9' table. Then my true "speed" (or lack there of) will be known.

The other Dr. Dave
... just barely. ;)

Catch you later,
Dave

tried recording last night. here is the youtube link for test 1. my final score was 63. camera isnt very good and i need to find a better spot for the camera. some stuff was cut out because the camera didnt have a wide enough view.

recorded test 2 when i got home from league tonight. probably should have just gone to bed. lol. It's in two parts because the batteries died in the camera. I completely fell apart after replacing the batteries in the camera. final score was only 55, so total for the two tests was 118.

Thank you for posting both Exam I and Exam II videos. I've added this score and the video links to the list.

Sorry for the delayed response. I was out of the country and offline the last two weeks.

Thank you for posting, and good luck with future attempts. Please post new scores (and videos) if you improve your score in either Exam. I'm sure you can do better, especially with more practice with the Exams.

Catch you later,
Dave

Have fun, and good luck,
Dave
Also, if you try the 10-ball-ghost or 15-ball-ghost rating drills, please post videos for those too.

I've been practicing the 15-ball ghost drill quite a bit lately and plan to post something soon. It is frustrating at times, but it is excellent practice.

Catch you later,
Dave
 
lol, took the test, very humbling borderline discouraging
I'm sorry if I caused you pain. Hopefully, the exams will help you improve the parts of your game that need work.

Please consider posting your score (and videos if possible) ... if not now, after you practice some more.

Catch you later,
Dave
 
I don't give up anything to a sandbagging, under-performing, seasoned gambler like you. In fact, the amount of "weight" I would require from you is "off the scales."
Ahhhhhhhh.... you know Dave well...... :D
You must know him well also.

I took the test and scored a 33.
Is that your Exam I score, or your total score (Exam I + Exam II)?

If you complete both exams, please post your total score so I can add it to the list. BTW, Exam II is much more fun than Exam I. The necessary documents for both exams can be found on the BU Exam page.

Good luck,
Dave

PS: Please also post videos if possible.
