Yeah, how to become a millionaire playing pro pool: Start with 3 million and work your way down.
when i run this in python 2.6 it asks me if i want to run a tourney and i say yes. but nothing happens. i have briefly looked at the code but i have not determined where the error is. if you get a chance pm me and let me know how i can change it. thanks.
fixed it. it was a capital Y and needed to be a lowercase y. thanks and cool program.
sorry. after the post i looked at the code longer lol. thanks for the response.
must be that none of the simulated players showed up because the simulated money wasn't posted.
This is an epic thread. Please carry on.
Signature up for grabs
How does one know that one will get kicked in the teeth in the future when an unknown entity has no record of doing such?
I can understand the sentiment of fool me once shame on you and fool me twice shame on me but in order to get fooled the first time one has to extend some trust.
In fact there is plenty of room for growth in the billiard industry for enterprising professional players. Enterprising means doing work outside the scope of their primary occupation which is playing pool. Every small business owner comes up against this where they have to step outside their area of expertise to become a marketer, a networker, a public relations person, a handyman, a janitor, and so on. No one escapes this unless they are very wealthy to start with, are funded somehow, or are very lucky.
It is very true that the employee generally is the last to know about the solvency of the company. Not many people get hired who are inquisitive about whether the company has the means to pay them or not. Subcontractors however should be a bit more cautious about whom they deal with and make an effort to get some sort of compensation guarantee. In fact in the business world many small businesses go bankrupt because they are way upside down in collecting their receivables and thus they simply run out of cash to pay their own suppliers and employees.
The players, as a group, have every right to attempt to insure that the tournaments they attend are going to pay out on time. This is simple cash flow management and when an invoice is presented then the debtor should pay according to the terms. Promoters should start putting the payment terms in the tournament information so that players can make decisions based on current cashflow and projected income.
Fairly simple. Boycotting has no benefit when the promoter does not need the boycott participants. The US Open is regularly attended by about 50 top level pros and 200 mid level players. Any of those mid level players are there for the experience and the hope that they can have a magic year and end up near the top. If the 50 pros didn't show up then there are still 200 players who would be happy to fight for the title of US Open Champion. And this applies to every tournament around the world. Certainly the gate might be affected a little bit if the very top stars don't show up but at the end the US Open will continue with a full house of people being entertained by good players.
In fact, Mr. Behrman ought to adopt the slogan, "No Better Time to Win the US Open" for this year and promote it to every pool room in the country. And if he attached it to $5000 bonus to the poolroom who sent the winning player he might find that his 256 field is filled before the next round of acrimonious he said/she said is posted here.
