Dan Harriman's Cue Sports Prep Academy

See your problem is your looking for logic in anything Justin says, stop that and it'll make sense
Logic of Convention
North East South Straight West
Most players are right handed.
When assessing stick and cue contact point, the Academy recommends players use a system.
Top or follow is now called North to introduce conventions in the Academic and Professional world.
Many players have never used a Compass or followed directions using a grid.
The Academy promotes intellectual development by combining standard scientific models with pool terminology.
In order to ace a billiards university test, complete the Cuesports International Academy.
Only academy players with a high performance on the Billiard Aptitude Test will be given advanced instruction. In the advanced group, contact positions along the cue and how the stick lines up are explored.
If your interested in a CIA class, use the contact info in the High Society Newsletter. The Harriman High Printing company also connects prospective students with proper development specialists.
How many clients does the Academy currently have?
Two.
If I may, I might be able to elaborate on behalf of Professor Justin, with whom I have had long stimulating exchanges on this question in private. (He is very busy these days, as he is currently juggling many irons in the fire. Think Elon Musk.)
The Professor has been working around the clock with dedicated engineers on estimating the currently evolving cardinality of the set of members of the Academy. These efforts involve sophisticated deep learning methods which have been cross validated on enhanced training data from the recent covid pandemic. Namely, predictions made by convolutional neural networks with precisely tuned hyperparameters have been compared with estimates generated by random forests. While the weights and biases are sparse, the current regularized regression models appear to predict a logistic growth pattern.
For the time being the cardinality of the Academy's membership is reliably positive definite, with an estimated upper bound of P_0; where P_0 is the current estimated human population. (For the lay, two, give or take. However transient exponential growth is expected as industry/intellectual leaders come aboard, such as Dr. Dave, Neil Degrasse Tyson, Joe Rogan, Donald Trump, Joe Biden, etc.)
Great question it will be addressed in the upcoming issue of High Run Society Newsletter.
You will be quoted in the next issue.
What convention? What logic? Show me any other place that uses that ordering convention. Explain the "logic" behind your naming order for the parts of the cue ball if you think it has some.
Look, I'm not trying to pick on you but you have to give some good thought to things before you make posts, and certainly before you attempt projects such as this.
Things like saying that your target audience is kids and parents and then trying to use how these shots are great for drinking games as a selling point, and things like your totally illogical and out of order naming convention system for the parts of the cue ball, etc, just show that you fail to give things good thought, in which case you need to make a lot more effort to do better thinking things through, or alternately it shows that you are simply incapable of giving things the appropriate thought and decision making, in which case you shouldn't be taking on things like this and should limit yourself to tasks that follow the instructions of others who are actually competent.
And for goodness sake, when somebody points out one of your obvious blunders (we all have them at least occasionally), don't double down on it and go further down the rabbit hole trying to defend obvious nonsense, simply say "yeah I really dogged it on that one, obviously didn't give that one enough thought, thanks for catching that".
And he has no idea how to play pool or what happens after a ball is struck.
TCC keeps offering to help with the latter.
High Run Society newsletter has agreed to run columns focusing on the Cuesports International Academy (CIA) and the Cuesports Prep Academy (CPA) .
CIA has language programs to help international players with their English language development.
CPA has STEAM programs to create the next generation of billiard engineers, statisticians, camera operators, instructional authors, creative mathematicians, promoters and fine artists.
Both academies follow the same syllabus in terms of preparation for the Billiards University Exam. Preparing for a test is challenging. Preparing with a community can mitigate those challenges by learning best practices from the community. The Academy is different than the tournaments or leagues. It is education focused. That education will provide a foundation for Juniors to pursue college level work or higher. We do serve adult students that have limited literacy or limited education. However the program is designed for younger students.
Matchroom and Predator are great events for people that can afford them. The CIA and CPA is designed for players that can't afford the Matchroom and Predator experience. The special joint operation between the newsletter and the academy is a work in progress. Keep checking in to learn about how to apply for the Academy.
The Dan Harriman Foundation has agreed to sponsor an entire virtual inaugural class. Keep sending in comments and questions. Also state if you are interested in completing an Academy program, mention if you want the International or Prep versions.

Man, when I spit a little REAL science talk up in this piece on behalf of my man Professor Justin, it got all quiet up in here.
Typical:
You better watch your mouth, or I will roundhouse your ass
YOU'd better watch my mouth, Chico.
The Board of Governors leading the Logical Foundation for the Eradication of Nonsense will be publishing an article in next month's No Nonsense Newsletter (NNN) announcing a revolutionary ball numbering convention that experts in the industry have suggested will turn the pool world in general and the Harriman Academy in particular...and I quote..."upside-down".
The CIA (Cuesport International Academy) is proud to announce its partnership with Interplay (International Cue Players). The partnership will elevate cue games including Chinese 8b, Russian Pyramid and lesser known variants of he billiard community.
The Interplay program is designed to prepare players to live abroad and learn how to navigate the country of their chosen cue discipline. Entry into the program requires passing the Cuesport Prep Academy program with a competency of TPA .800 as well as 1 year of language from the Cuesport International Academy program with a 85% or higher on the verbal and written proficiency exam.
Cuesports is experiencing a huge wave of interest. If you are interested in partnering at the international, national or local level please post or DM. The Academy understands many regions around the world have underserved communities, we are interested and we are ready to work.
Due to the high volume of players that travel regularly, the Academy is looking for strategic partners in short term stay rental properties or mobile rental homes.

Those accepted to the Logical Foundation and it's newly formed Academy stay in my basement, not some run down single wide trailer.
We at the Academy are pleased to announce a partnership with Pepe's Pizza and Subs, and Stan's Liquor Barn.
Thanks for posting about your Academy. Are you interested in forming leagues or conferences? It would help to create a transfer system with other Academies.
If the transfer program is not possible, how about a pool competition/language conference/science fair?
The future of pool depends on the demands placed on new players. What type of future do you want pool players to benefit from? Alcohol fermentation is an amazing introduction to science as is the culinary arts. Are you interested in a business conference for the Academy members? The media skills of the top pros is not good enough. These conferences would play developmental roles for lower tier players and inviting a top player once in awhile would be fun.
I prefer having a full calendar of events. Are you up for it?
My Academy is very exclusive. I don't think you are well enough established to associate with and we don't allow AI or tube sock grips.
No bowl cuts either
